    I'm planning to have some fun next week with some phone in radio shows complaining about a web-site which I've faked up.

    If anyone wants to help out (we'll be looking for e-mails and phone ins) then message me.

    It'll probably be Friday morning we go for it.

    what radio stations are you planning on ringing, so i can listen in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,746 ✭✭✭pork99


    sounds like "a hoot n' a holler" when will you give us the URL?

    I'm sure I could knock out an email or two for you - depending on what the site is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭Kone


    I'd be interested depending on what the website is.........

    URL?

    I'm interested, sounds like a laugh!

    Feel free to PM me any details and hoax instructions etc...

    Sorry lads - don't want to post the website just yet - best not to have it mentioned in a thread about hoaxes just in case a radio researcher runs a google search and pulls it up.

    I will IM details to people. and please get your friends involved if they'd be willing and that.

    At the moment we're looking at starting this on Friday and hoping it'll take off from there.

    Okay - I've sent off some PMS - anyone else who wants to join in or help out please PM me.

    Thanks

    Okay. Good to see people on for a bit of fun.

    I will PM everyone tomorrow and let you know more details.

    In the meantime if someone could find somewhere where we can set up a fake online petition I'd appreciate it very much. I have no spare time today but tomorrow I will be able to give more details and hopefully get the plan moving along swiftly.

    And if anyone squeals....... wel.... you know what we do with squealers!!

    How can you tell them what we're up to when you've no idea what it is yet? Christ, is it any wonder you can't get a better job than googling stuff?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Okay - well didn't know my private messages would fill up that quickly. I have the online petition set up and will IM it to everyone this evening around seven.

    We're going to need loads of people to sign it so we'll need an e-mail forwarded on to eveyone you know. Please tell them in a serparate e-mail that it's a hoax.

    Also more details on how we're going to go about this thing.

    And it's not as if they don't make up stories themselves anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,648 ✭✭✭knifey_spoonie


    Count me in too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Okay - I'm PMing out details to eveyone right now. If you have any suggestions just PM me back. Otherwise hang on to your hats and get signing that petition.

    your a really crap researcher, why didnt you play along, now youll never get to the inner sactum will you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Doesn't really need to - all they do is avoid any story involving an online petition and a large amount of email...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Good to see that everyone on boards.ie has a sense of humour - got this PM from Gurgle today regarding the web site.

    One of my friends reported the website to the RSPCA.
    I'm sure you'll hear from them.

    And got an e-mail from the RSPCA today too.

    Good man/woman Gurgle.
