Since the forum hack, we can no longer link to the infamous April Fool's thread involving the Sacred Makarov Buy, but I would at least like to pay homage to this Holy Post.

Has anyone archived the Holy Post? I will see what I can dig out of Kermee.

I must have missed that one.

I think it was on the cusp of March/April 2001, so it was long ago and still has open wounds!

can you guys give us noobs an idea of what it was about?

MrTuffPaws · 04-01-2005, 09:19 AM

2001? Before my time. I don't feel so old anymore.

Don, I must pay homage! I feel obligated. I read the whole thing pre-hack. It was simply awesome. Amazing. Stupendous. It will never have equal on this or any other internet forum. And boy, did it piss some people off!! Most people involved got a huge chuckle from it, but a few were enraged...

It involved a fake shipment/case(?) of brand new rare model Makarov's at an amazing price... truth came out.... hilarity ensued... threats were made.... bridges burned.... you know the routine.

Here is still some fallout from Marko's prank, he did the same posting on several gun boards:

I'll see if I can more.

This one is not related but it is an interesting piece on the effect the HS2000 had (I found it looking for links with Marko and HiramRanger)

Well, I snooped around that board, as well as the old HS2000talk board in the WayBack archives... Seems every post but that one was archived. It sucks, because I was staring at the forum section with the link in there, but nooooo. Stupid Internet.

It was interesting seeing TuffPaws' posts, some old-school Don, and Frenchy complaining of urinary tract infections.

One post pertaining to it... Part of his setup...
