Explanation
It seem as though this whole April Fools thing has gotten out of hand. Dyne created the whole Big Brother thing as a joke, of course, but when he created the usergroup "Banned by Big Brother" he accidently gave them permission to view the staff only forum. Each usergroup has a set of certain permissions that delegates which forums they can view. He obivously did not mean for them to be able to view the staff only forum. In the staff only forum was a thread that posted the username and password of the Big Brother account so that all staff members could use it. So the members who were banned by Big Brother were actually able to become Big Brother, which is rather ironic. Obviously Danchastu (and possibly other members) logged into this Big Brother account, changed his avatar, and gave random members mass amounts of doubloons. The doubloon situation has been fixed since then, by the way.
Now, personally, I had nothing to do with Big Brother. But HK-47 was indeed my idea. I found him quite funny personally, and would have liked to continue his stay on the forums, but obviously now that is not possible. I hope this clears up everything.
