My BBS experiment 2006-11-27 11:56:32

At 1AM the other night, on MSN with Baxkseat-Mod and Zack, I devised a scheme.
I would make a sig trend appear from nowhere, then see how many people would see "popular" users wearing them and hop on the banwagon without even knowing what it is.
The birth of the zebra sigs.

I asked a few people to wear them, and then aload of people saw it as a trend and took it.
31 People now have zebra sigs.

HAHA FUCK YOU RETARDS

18 OF YOU ARE SHAMELESS BANDWAGON WHORES

Now, to save emarrasment, I thought I wouldn't name names.
Then I decided it would be more fun, so here they are.

Scotttheskater
CryogenChaos
BlackMageClock
IAmSaul
Torkelson
Pyro
letsgocubs13
Sanity-of-Insanity
OmniWslash
TheFaces
Metark
Micro5
Dry-Ice
BigScizot
deus-ex-machina
Phantom-45
DredZeppelin

The first of the fakes was scotttheskater, who was retarded enough to make
this thread.
He had no idea what was going on and assumed HAYF was behind it.

Once again,
HAHA FUCK YOU

Hahahah, I can't believe that people fell into the trap...I'm surprised to see users like BigScizot in the list. I expected something around 30 users into it, though.

Nice one, Redcoin! :D

What would be awful is if it continued to grow in popularity despite it being a fake trend. Like a franken-trend, spawned from hell.

That was quite a cool sig though.
This one got popular just because every one wanted to be part of "what all the cool kids are doing."
