Killer Robots
If you:
- Are running EE2
- Have a client who is in the Super Admin member group
- Said client uses the Edit area of the EE control panel a lot
- Said client has a deathly fear of robots
...then read on:
EE2 has a killer robot easter egg. If you’re running the latest build, there’s an easy way to disable it. Just use the following line of code in your config/config.php file:
$config['kill_all_humans'] = 'disable';
I happened across this thread in the forums where someone found the easter egg and Derek Allard from EllisLab shed a bit more light on how it came to be and how rare it is to find this robot. If you like spoilers, you can even see a video of the robot in action.
I don’t think I’ll ever disable it, but I can’t think of any time I’ve had a client who fears robots who is also a Super Admin (It’s usually one or the other).

Thanks, after reading the post, that makes a lot more sense! Very amusing, can see some pain on the butt clients not being happy though

Damn!
I saw this the other day on a dev site and thought I was hallucinating.
Clients will adore this.
