So, apparently since I haven't updated my BoB in ages, I still have access to it.

Just took a Poison Rome turn with BoB on the entire time and took a snap in chat.

I rule.

lol.... how does this hinder functionality? Anyone with a longer education of english than 3 months should be able to understand this easily.

Its just sad how some people mix up incompetency with a lack of humor.


You only assume people speak English well and get the joke..


Yes, the ones who dont should keep out and refrain from ruining the day for everyone.

I found it quite amusing to be honest :) ...but for the first 10 minutes. That was until I realized that there's no BOB available :ugeek:

Why are you all so dependent on BOB? Seriously guy, can't you win without extra gadgets like that?

So now we have an update ...bob and snaps working again ...is the CC crew realizing this joke was not really a practical one?

It says on the definition on aprils fools day people make practical jokes ;) , i am wondering what was the "practical "joking on taking a addiction like bob away from the hurd like us?

i like jokes and humor , it makes people laugh , smile and live , but may i suggest that not all "jokes "are liked by the mass? :roll: so next time think of a more "practical joke ;)

or something like that O:)

I don't see what people were getting their panties in a twist for... BOB is an add-on, ie. it's not CC:s responsibility to make sure that it works all the time. CC allows users to create and use add-ons, but since they are not officially a part of the site, there's no way you can blame CC if they don't work.

Anybody who can't figure out that "Seqooenteeel" means Sequential or that "Geme-a Feendur" means Game Finder is really not trying very hard. I mean seriously, can we please turn our bitching efforts to something of substance?

If you're a native English speaker, it's easy. But if you're not a native English speaker or a non-native who's highly fluent, it's going to be a different story entirely.

(Edited to add the "highly fluent" part)

I beg to disagree.

It's as if the owners of the site want to see just how much utter crap they can feed us before we just leave in disgust.

You mean like the fact that they're spending their time coding this utter crap instead of implementing the suggestions that have been in the To-Do list for four years? Something of substance like that?

You're also highly fluent in English. I should have said if you're not a native English speaker and are not highly fluent, it's going to be a different story entirely.

I very much doubt that anyone commenting on this post will be of the lack of fluency that they have difficulty with the words.

I personally have no problem with the "Borkified" stuff for one day. Bob is only useful to me to help me to work out how new maps work, and I don't mind not having that ability for one day.

However, I do think it could cause problems for english learners of intermediate level or below.

I absolutely love the humor in this. I don't use BOB, so I guess I'm not as annoyingly affected, but the humor in it surpasses me not being able to play a freestyle speed effectively for a little bit ;)

what is "bork, bork, bork!" supposed to mean anyway?

I ask myself, "does Woodruff actually lack a funny bone? Can someone be this humourless?" And then I look at your avatar and it all becomes crystal clear.

Yeah, something like that.

On that subject, I know very little, being both a non-techie and relatively new to this site. However, I have a friend who's a fairly successful software developer and here's what he has to say (reproduced from memory, so may not be an exact quote.)
The customer's perception of what is easy or difficult seems to be the exact opposite of what is. I knock off a quick fix in 45 minutes and the customers are totally blown away. They talk as if I just built the Taj Mahal and they want me to marry their daughter. Then I spend 2000 hours busting my balls coding something for them and they say, "not bad for a quick fix."
