It's the same thing on the EVN and Ares webboards as well, so it is likely in effect across all the boards. It appears to be an ASCII shift of some sort.
Yes, it was successful, and it's hilarious. I thought at first that someone had just expended a huge amount of energy to post large quantities of gibberish, but then I saw, like you, that the posts are legible.

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
