Paul: /* DuckFest 2005 Turnouts */

Duckfest is the annual festival of compsci.ca, when during the month of november, members are encouraged to use their own unique duck avatar.

==History==
[[Image:DDRDuck.png|thumb|120px|right|[[The Suxonmaphoney Duck]]]]

Duckfest was sparked during a spirited conversation in compsci's very own [[IRC]] chatroom.
According to DuckFest Fanatic/co-ordinator/expert [[Cervantes]]:

''"Duckfest was created in this very IRC chatroom, if you pay close enough attention, you can still sense its lingering essence!"''

Duckfest 2005 found its first tangible incarnation in the CompSci.ca forums when [[Cornflake]] created a thread in Off Topic: [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=10249 Attack of The Ducks!]

As Cervantes explains it:
''"It was a pleasent day on the #compsci.ca channel. The sun was shining, the birds were chriping, and [[wtd]] was perverting our young, moldable minds with his newest coding discoveries. There was some talk of wtd's handel (which is really "What The Duck", not "Welcome To Darwin", no matter what wtd will tell you.) [[Coutsos]], in his creative genius, hit upon the idea of me using a [[pirate]] duck avatar. wtd did some quick ninja googling, and within seconds showed us the way: iloveduckies.com. I added the eyepatch to the "Buccaneer" duck, and uploaded it. I created a signature to go with it. By the next day, Coutsos had finished his [[ninja]] duck, which was modified from the buccaneer. It was fantastic. Still is. Within a day, Cornflake adopted his duck avatar and made a post in Off Topic about the take-over. I suggested that I would delete all posts in that thread by non-ducklings, but that turned out not to be necessary: within a few days, we had a good portion of active CompSci.ca members with duck avatars, including [[Tony]], who had previously held his [[devil avatar]] for all eternity. [[Hacker Dan]] also joined the revolution, and enthusiastically too. He traded in his old avatar for a robotic duck, and later created a [[rotating quotes system]] for the benefit of all humanity.''"

To the great horror of all duck lovers, for his avatar, [[Pwned]] elected to use an image of a man going duck hunting. This actual image will not be displayed here, to prevent more hurt. Good thing Pwned doesn't post much.

Duckfest 2005 was then kicked off in the thread: [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=10249&start=0 Attack of The Ducks!]

Although at first, change came slowly, soon the pace picked up and eventually hacker dan himself joined up, resulting in the creation of the rotating quotes system. Cervantes goes on to explain:

''"Hacker Dan also joined up, and enthusiastically too. He traded in his old avatar for a robotic duck, and later created a rotating quotes system for the benefit of all humanity."''
