Title: Why all the "uᴉoɔʇᴉq" words are up-side-down?
Post by: 7788bitcoin on April 01, 2016, 03:11:58 AM
Did anyone notice this? I login bitcointalk this morning and realize all "B-i-t-c-o-i-n" are spelled as "uᴉoɔʇᴉq".

Was the site hacked?

It will probably be gone after April 1st. Wouldn't be a great idea to induce such a mess and keep it around.

Sounds like your coins are a bit out of whack today.



Note that these wordfilters do not actually modify posts directly, but if you edit or quote a post, whatever's in the text box will be what's saved.

This is disabled in some sections to avoid too much confusion. It also doesn't appear for logged-out users.

I don't know much about altcoins, so I mainly just mangled the names of the top (AFAIK) several altcoins. If I missed any major ones, or if people have better ideas for replacement names, let me know.

If he would change as well usernames i am sure the forum will be spammed to death about "help my account got hacked" or something like this.

This type of prank will only leave a bad taste in people's mouth
There has been forum hacking once in 2013, I don't think people want to experience it again now ;)
I think this bitcoin getting flipped type of prank is just fine and should be like this every year ;)

Was the site hacked?

I think it was probably programmed by admin, yesterday, while composing a post, I noticed that every where I wrote uᴉoɔʇᴉq it automatically got converted to moondollars after submission and the last uᴉoɔʇᴉq word in my post turned upside down. I didn't know what moondollars meant so I turned all my uᴉoɔʇᴉq words upside down by copying and pasting instead, at least I knew what that meant - b-i-t-c-o-i-n. Simple.

I am also surprised to see bitcoin written upside down.At first I thought some enthusiasts member used his creativity in his post and use special symbols to post bitcoin and others following him.Only when I checked other threads and their reply,did I realise something is wrong.It also shows bitcoin as moondollar at some places

Because it is most likely that it won't be used again. It wouldn't really make sense to re-use the same joke multiple times.

Only when I checked other threads and their reply,did I realise something is wrong.It also shows bitcoin as moondollar at some places
At least you did not start a thread before checking if there are some that contain information, right? There was a sudden flood of these threads, although I did like the chaos.

It does seem like some of it didn't revert properly. Nothing surprising.

Nah, it was last years April fools. Nut sure if there was one two years ago. Probably missed it same as this year.

Avatars are working normally now.

There are a small handful of people who had an animated avatar before this new system. I'm not going to remove those, but if they update their avatars then animation won't be possible.

That could be true, also maybe he was planning to change it at a certain time but then there was a ddos attack and he went to bed or something.

That's what happened.
