This (http://www.bringvictory.com) is annoying as hell, but fun to send to those who suspect nothing.

I hate you.

With the fury of one thousand suns.

Abandon all hope, ye who clicketh here.

Actually, this (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=14429) is the most annoying link ever.

Maybe those Canadians who type web addresses into Google (instead of the address bar) every time are onto something. First result: Rickroll Database: #1103, http://www.bringvictory.com

You should certainly not do it by opening a new tab while doing work on some other tabs. I lost the work I was doing because of that link.

Thankfully, I get paid by the hour. :D

Wow, people are still rickrolling? Was that ever funny?

See, now I actually feel kinda bad. That happened to me when I clicked on it, but I just clicked through til it closed.

The fact that it's a rickroll isn't the annoying part, it's what it does. It's not funny, it's just annoying.

It actually closes? Damn! I thought it was infinite after like 50 clicks. I suppose I should be less hasty.

But seriously, it's not a big deal. I maybe lost 5 minutes. ;)

Ha! Chrome circumvented the prank. After the second popup a checkbox appeared that said "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs." Chrome gave that shit up.

I did that, but the song wouldn't stop playing. I died a little inside.

Stupid touch mouse. :(

(Also, I didn't realize it stopped either; I shut it down through Task Manager.)

Worst link of all time.

Definitely something to open in a new window.

Wack posted this in IRC and almost caused the same to happen to me.

I however, do not get paid by the hour.

I am far to cynical to ever click that link. I feel justified when I read these responses.

Also, Gorvi, you're half-assing of this takes away any enjoyment. The point of a practical joke is to revel in it. It's what makes it fun. If you're not even going to enjoy it, why do it?

The proper response to Nameless should have been "lol". Not "I have an ineffectual penis and I'm terribly sorry for inflicting it on you."

I knew something bad was going to happen if I clicked on the link. I clicked on it anyway.

Sigh.

Add me to the Gorvi Hate Squad.

Someone posted this on their facebook last night. Then someone got mad at them for not giving them credit for finding it first. I told them: "Shut the fuck up. Arguing over who posted this first is like arguing over who was the first to get an STD."
Jesus. I hated rickrolling. I hate it even more now.

I've always firmly been in the "rickrolling is profoundly retarded" camp. Can't believe it's almost 2010. Everyone who's ever rickroll'd has no concept what 'funny' is.

EDITED.

This would probably be a good time to say that this was not an attempt to rick roll, I was clear that it was an incredibly annoying link. I just thought that the way they did it was entertaining.

I'm not blaming you (though a warning would have been nice), I'm just saying I wish that meme was dead. So dumb. It wasn't even funny the first time.

Your avatar is perfect for everything...I love you.

And I cracked up, so maybe I'm a retard.

If you didn't get it from the thread title then you probably had it coming :p

A rickroll is one thing, but a popup chain and music that forces me to exit my browser would require fucking spider senses.

That picture was taken right after I clicked that link. True story.

Lol...I still find rick rolling hilarious. The link was annoying but all I could do was laugh and utter how much of an asshole Gorvi is. I thought it was funny. But now I owe you one Gorvi.
