Just in case you didn't know
Apparently people felt that the post the other day, on April 1st, was real so we decided to put up a post stating it wasn't and that you were fooled.
Thanks everyone for giving us great laughs as well as way to go to those that realized it was an April Fools joke from the ever so cleverly placed key letters "AF" placed within the app. We would also like to thank those who pretended to be banned during the day :p.
It was fun doing something other than just modding the site.
For those of you who would like to know how I made the programs - I used the program
LiveCode to code it. It's an evolved form of Hypercard if you guys know what that is :p
here is the code I used for the app:
local lBrowserID
on openCard
browserOn
end openCard
on browserOn
put the windowID of this stack into tWinID
put revBrowserOpen(tWinID, "http://mangahelpers.com") into tBrowserID
if tBrowserID is not an integer then
answer "Failed to open browser." & tBrowserID
exit browserOn
end if
put tBrowserID into lBrowserID
revBrowserSet lBrowserID, "showborder", true
revBrowserSet lBrowserID, "rect", the rect of graphic "browser"
end browserOn
on browserBeforeNavigate pID, pURL
global browserCancel
if "mangahelpers.com" is not in pURL then
answer warning "Can't navigate to a domain ouside of MangaHelpers.com."
put true into browserCancel
end if
end browserBeforeNavigate
on closeCard
browserOff
end closeCard
on browserOff
if lBrowserID is an integer then
revBrowserClose lBrowserID
end if
put empty into lBrowserID
end browserOff
Let me what you guys thought of the little prank :D.

I did dl the browser to see what it was, but when I saw it was an executable file, my paranoia got the better of me and I didn't run it.
