30463, The ABSOLUTE FUNNIEST April Fools' Day trick that OKP has EVER pulled...
Posted by tREBLEFREE, Fri Apr-01-05 12:52 AM
was when Angieeee redesigned the intro page to read that Okayplayer.com was the home site to acts like Whyte Dawg (i think that's his name), Master P and Silkk Tha Shocker.
Then when you clicked on any of the names, the screen would crack...
When you clicked a second time, the screen would crack further...
The third time you clicked, that whole front would fall off and the real okp home page was behind it...
BRILLIANT!
Damn I miss Angieeeeee... :-(

when they played that the site was dead, even putting out some fake press releases. lol i think everyone was fooled. its almost like they can't really top that shit now because everyone will automatically assume its a joke.

The page was designed to look like the existing screen but then you clicked it and it crashed. Here it is:
http://www.okayplayer.com/splashcrash/
the year before that was when the site read that it was the home of all these very much non Okay Artists such as Master P. etc. lastly, i designed it! I honestly can't remember but it may have been my and new_guy's idea. but nooooo, aint nobody talking about how the miss new_guy. haha. anyway, big ups to angieee. kinda wack that we didn't do anything this year as it has been tradition.

I didn't know you designed that - I stand corrected...
but I remember it was the fake okp page that cracked...
anyhow...thanx for the link...

30476, certainly wouldnt expect you to know. glad to dig up the link!
Posted by okpdan, Fri Apr-01-05 03:07 PM
man, that yellow page (the attack of the bumble bee design, we call it) is GOD awful. even Shawn Gee will let you know. not sure what we were thinking at the time. on the other hand, would love to start doing splash pages again.
