Did you get fooled?


For the first time in a few years we had the April Fool's day during The Gathering. Your friends at the Info:Content crew published four untrue articles. Did you get fooled?

The first article told you to wear a swimming cap due to an extremely high level of chlorine in the swimming pool at Ankerskogen. This was completely bogus, you can safely visit Ankerskogen on Friday without wearing a swimming cap.

The second article told you to recieve a special user-created password to gain access to our wired network. This was completely bogus, you do not have to type a password to use our wired network. But Tech:Net made the threat real by disabling internet access for everyone using IPv4 for two minutes at 16:30. This also produced a message on the information boards stating April fools.

The third article was about a restriction for hard disks to only have a capacity of 500 GB to prevent the possibility of pirated media and software. This is also completely bogus, you can obviously have the capacity you want on your hard disks.

The fourth article was about a team of hygiene-sniffing dogs that would mark smelly participants who then needed to take a shower within a half hour to prevent losing internet access. This is unfortunately also bogus, but we are so wishing that this would come true sometime.
