Well, I finally circumvented the problem enough to post a thread, but I have to highlight anyhting in order to be able to read it. I stil can't see the background, or anything of the sort, and it's highly annoying to have to deal with. And apparently, it's happened to a few other people so far as well, here's a screenshot.

Really? I thought that jokes were supposed to be funny, not prevnt people from posting or being able to use the forum.

UPDATE:

(-David Eddy-) says:
no, this honestly isnt a joke. <Anonomous> was hacked by Bobby a few days ago, and we think he hacked someone else Oo

I'm sure it's just an April Fool's joke. If you type in white, you can read what you're saying. So, I suggest typing in white for now.

Writing evcerything in white isn't a good idea, since when it gets changed back, you would have to change the color of all your posts again...

That's another small problem. The bar to change the theme is completely missing.

Thus A: It is an april fools joke, in which case heads will roll.

Or B: It is a hacker, in which case I hope to see the ban-stick employed.

Recent events have lead me to believe that this was an april fools joke, and right now, I'm just waiting for the staff to show their "victory" posts from the lounge, ect. I do not find this amusing, and would like to know WHY the staff decided that such a joke would be appropriate.

I don't think a hacker would be able to do this unless they either got an admin's username and password or are able to hack into the site's coding and recode every single theme (which I'm not sure if you can do that or not). But I must say, whoever did this did a pretty thorough job; I've tried everything I can think of to get around this, but nothing works. I've even tried typing in the direct URL of different styles, but it seems like every style is all black.

Icy Soul
April 1st, 2006, 02:08 AM
This is really quite a bit frustrating... Since I can't use the little already-given-to-you thing to change the color of your font, I have to actually type in the code x.x

aaaa, I can't see what I'm typing x.x, I have to repeatedly apuse to highlight what I'm saying!!! Then try to get my place...

Thats it, now whenever I make a new post, I'll have to type what I want on a notepad, then copy and paste it here...

Psh, I bet the admins have their own secret little black-free style to use as they laugh at us >:|

It's because they overrode this style over users' layouts and set it to default... It is possible

Yet another reason why I don't believe any of the crap they've fed us so far. :3 Whether or not the admin was hacked previously, or just fabricated for the purpose of this joke, it doesn't matter, there's nothing appropiate about this.

Meh, this isn't really making my life miserable or anything, but it's a little inconvenient. I can survive until the truth is revealed though. Until then... *lights candle*

EDIT: And I still can't convince myself that it's a hacker, either. If someone really wanted to hack this site, it'd probably be easier just to remove everything and make the homepage have a big "hacked by ____" message. That would take less time, and it'd be harder for the admins to fix. I doubt most hackers would go to all this trouble. The only way I could imagine it's be a hacker is if somebody got an admin's password. And do you really think a hacker would make a nice pretty little "pokecommunity" banner for a hack style?

Icy Soul

I'm sure if it was a hacker's doing, this all would have been fixed the second the
Admin saw this. Admins *usually* move quickly.

I gotta admit though, rather a bit early for an April Fools joke isn't it? Unless it's
already April Fool's day to the Admin or one of the Moderators due to the time
zone thing.

In the mean time, like Chiru just said, *lights candle*

I don't see this being inappropriate. I mean really, saying that makes you look like
the Super Nanny or something. It makes us think of the Admin being a more 'fun'
person! Especially to do something like this on a Holiday! Proves the Admin and Mod's
aren't boring people, that they're human! So lighten up! (no pun intended) >.>
It won't hurt to keep highlighting everything using the 'select all' button.

But that *STILL* does *NOT* make it appropriate for the admins to do, after all, if there's no one that can reprimand them, they NEED moral standards.I have no probl;em with personal jokes, ect, but this is not appropriate for admins to do to the whole forum.

Yeah, I don't think we should overreact about this. I'm quite certain that it's a joke. Yes, it doesn't make our lives any easier, but it's all in good fun and it's not going to last forever. In fact, seeing how everyone's reacted to this, I have to admire whoever came up with this's way of thinking. This is actually a pretty good joke, lol.

Heh...lighten up, will ya? Just as Icy Soul said, it's only for the fun of it. Even if it isn't exactly funny to everyone, it's fun for them because they basically run everything here. It's not like they are doing this all the time, April Fool's Day comes once a year like every other holiday, they just wanted to do something different to freak everyone out and get them frustrated.

Meh, to me it's an April Fools' Day joke.

If someone were to hack the board, they'd by human nature do a lot more than merely change all the CSS properties around. I expect this to be sorted out come noon.

I thought of it as a normal joke but it couldn't have gone this far..
This "hacker" is a complete noob when it comes to this line of "work".

I mean...(I CANNOT belive I'm saying this..) Check the Mod Lounge...


That little bastard is terrorizing the forum..

And no Mod can do anything about it..

He did, and once he contacts vB, they'll walk him through finding a way into using CP powers. If worse comes to worse, we can always just do a database reset.

Everyone should scan their comp's for viruses. Just in case.

This is definitely not a time fore this...but this reminds me of the Matrix...a failed utopia that had to be reset because it was screwed up..

Yeah...well..resetting the database will sure as hell be a pain for the history this forum has been through..

All I can say is good luck..

Well...I don't think it's really a hacker. I mean, come on! If you were a hacker and got total control over a big forum like PC...wouldn't you edit stuff, like have the themes say stuff like 'I rule(Like his/her profile reads)' or 'i own you all' or random cursing? I don't know about you, but I would! Not making it all black with a nice little mock banner in the corner. Plus....hackers have better spelling then that, well, most of them do anyway....

I thank the person who let us be able to see the Mod Lounge, because there is a wee post of a clue. I believe the guy who wrecked PC is ____ no not the member, this random guy, is because well, mods were talking about deleting the DCC and _____ random guy comes and says that it will be true, then suddenly the DCC is gone! Strange...How he can post in the mod lounge while we can't.

He must have given himself system wide power, so he has permissions to post anywhere, whereas we are still members with simple powers. Still, I hope this fool gets a brain hemorrage and suddenly dies, he's certainly deserving it.

Yeah... um, I agree about the hacker thing now. I mean, yeah, why would the admins want everyone to have access to the mod forum? o.O I wonder how many people will visit there while they can?

you know....the little egg timer just went off in my head. This 'hacker' could just b one of the Admin. masquerading and trying to scare us. And the thing about the mod lounge? It would be a lovly little thing added to fuel the flames.

W00t, incase someone claims there was no such thread about the Admin making a thread on the merge, I have evidence, RIGHT HERE!!!

I'm starting to wonder if there really is a hacker, if there is, he/she can never take away Pokemon Community! Too many people, there will just be another place JUST LIKE THIS to be created, I'm sure of it!!!


And yea, the Hacker is probably most likely the Admin, the person being uh.. Trojan, whatever the name is *where have I seen that before somewhere in this thread?* The Admin could be that person, disguised as a member, you can easilly change your title to say member!

Well I'm certainly not in the mood for that...

Eh... *shrug*

I don't know about it being an Admin. I mean, I just don't see them opening the mod forum on purpose, but, I guess they might not care. *doesn't know* *isn't a mod/admin* *doesn't really ever want to be because they have too much to deal with o.O*

I have confidence that Steve and others shall restore things again soon. ^-^

I hopw we don't merge. It's not I good idea. And I think that we should remain our own forum. The merger it's self could be it's own April Fools joke.

I think it's a sham, cause' they would have said something on Serebii.net, and they haven't.

Okay, this is just stupid.

If its a joke, then its not funny at all.

If its a hacker then great job at hacking the PC.

I see the forum has gone back to *almosrt* normal.

It seems the mods are all really out of charactor at their board, the board time only starts at mid March when it's supposed to count for all of March.

It seems to me it's all a big set up...
