April Fools!



The shareaza team has a tradition of celebrating Template:Wiki. These pranks are never harmful and it is always done in good clean fun.

These pranks usually involve a fake announcement of a "new version" and modification of the homepage in some way.

2009

2010

The homepage was modified to display in a right-to-left manner using mirrored graphics while keeping the content readable. The page contained a fake announcement for Shareaza 7.0.0.0.0.0.0 claiming to include some ridiculous and impossible features that we would never implement. These included such things as fastTrack support, gnutella 3, anonymous file-sharing through 7 proxies, turbo-charged downloading at T3 speeds regardless of the file or your internet connection. It claimed to run on both linux and freeBSD with Mac OSX support being worked on. The screenshot of shareaza, supposedly running on ubuntu, was faked using wine and a linux-themed skin (Tango).
