April Fools

[Lerroux]

Hey people. This all was a joke. Nobody was demoted. Nothing in the Lounge is real- it was just a play, nobody wants to close boards under 100k posts or whatever we posted there. Lerroux doesn't exist, I'm actually Went posting here right now and the password was open for all the staff to log in here if they wanted.

So yeah, April Fools!

[Forever]

Imma post now cause PPN will move this out to CQ&F soon. :x

IT WAS ALL A LIE. I DON'T HATE BLACK AND WHITE AND WISH TO TAKE OVER IT COMPLETELY. :(
As for weekly polls, yeah that poll was this week's weekly poll, it'll be back to normal next week.

Oh and Facebook style was mine. Although I explained that... like everywhere, but yeah that was basically our small cover-up so people thought that was the prank and not the demoddings/Lerroux etc.

(If you want to keep using it, it's listed as "PokeBok" in the style selector list - since apparently Facebook doesn't like when other sites use "book" at the end of things when copying them).

ALSO! PPN said I could explain the roles we played when playing Lerroux :3

The Lerroux Plot

Lerroux idea
Went/Nick aka Patchisou combined since... I and probably others kept typoing rouge and rogue ;x

Mod Reviews
Nick did basically everything about mod reviews.

First few Lerroux posts
Yeah that'd be me.

Some other Lerroux
Went, and Drew.

Another Lerroux
Razor Leaf.

Replying to mod app PMs
sammi (she also posted in mod apps).

Mod app
I typed it up and Live posted.

Further staff changes and Mod apps feedback
Meee. I'm also just going to mention that almost 99% of those were joke applications, and I didn't explain which were/weren't, and... I didn't even READ the applications, so it really doesn't matter (aka you guys can't tell what's legit or not :3)

PC Supporters
Went or Razor?

Ask Lerroux
Probably Nick or Went?

Lerroux on IRC
twocows at the start, then me since Jake put it at "Q" and removed it, so to seem legit I had to keep it on overnight.

Oh and whoever posted about Lerroux being a Spanish dictator or whatever, 10/10 to you. :)

Oh and link to fake forum once it's off the index.

So, I have to know. Were ALL of the staff in on it, or just part of you?

If so, Andy is a meanyhead.

[Yagerbomb]

Ill be the first to say it, you guys got me on that one. Now explain it to the rage-quitters. I get a " I asked to be a mod" emblem still, right?

[Toujours]

It was in the staff sections so anyone who pays any attention to them would have seen it since we've been planning it for over a month now. Anyone who posted in the lounge members can see is certainly in on it.

[EntwinedSilence]

It was all of us. If any of us had been left out, that.. would've been weird, or unfair. xD;

It was totally worth it, haha.

[Curious.]

And to think I stuck up for you all. I even got lied to my computer monitor.

[chrunch]

I love how everyone thought this was real. It was clearly a joke from the start.

[Ray Maverick]

APRIL FOOLS?!


Like you guys would ever delete the ROM Hacking section... xD

Haha, did you like my mod app at least? LOL, im still here!

[XanderO]

This is a prime reason why I greatly dislike this "holiday"

I really do hope you guys planned to have your very reputation take a huge hit with this ploy. Everyone I initially invited will not be returning, although its a fairly small number compared to what you may have for the actual forum, that's somewhere around 20 people that have permanently blocked this site from their browsing. Nor will I be referring any new people here as it makes me look bad to invite friends and people I know to a site that conducts very childish pranks.

I know some people will post LOL U MAD or Awww butthurt? and honestly no, I'm not. I did however lose a lot of respect for the site and its Staff. Bad business is simply bad business.

[Loki]

^ PC does a prank every year though, so it's really nothing to be surprised about. XD

It was an amusing prank this year, very well done even though I didn't even realize the facebook thing until I read your post LOL that is so pathetic on my part....

Reminded me of todoroki quite a bit, very fun nostalgia. XDDD

Every website does pranks though o_O Google/Youtube/Bulbapedia/etc. There's basically no site that won't do any pranks, lol. :x So it's really nothing out of the ordinary really...

Plus PC's done pranks for like 7 years now. :x

AND YES LOKI I FELT THE SAME ABOUT TODOROKI :)

[QuilavaKing]

Why would you take any drastic action about anything out of the normal on April Fool's Day. That's just stupid.

This prank was even better then some of my RL pranks..

But hey, some of us can laugh it off, some can't.

[Igiko]

One of the better pranks I've seen ahaha. Could have gone without the last part, but where's the fun in not embarrassing anyone, right? Well played, PC. Pretty ingenious.

[flubbateios]

I HATE ALL OF YOU STAFF D:<

i am way too gullible.

well, I am only 6 years old.

[EntwinedSilence]

I just want to say that part of an April Fools prank is to get people mad, or make them freak out. We didn't stage a break in to anyone's house, steal anyone's pet cat, or scare our elderly grandmothers half to death. Some staff pranked their members on an internet forum. Oh no. Nothing we said in the fake lounge was true, none of our opinions or things we said there should be taken seriously, nor taken offense to. At least I know for a fact, that not a single word of any of my posts in there were truth, I was acting the entire time, aside from maybe when I was talking nicely to someone "Lol, I know what you mean, Went. xD" and such.

So..

Yeah. xD;

People can get pranked pretty badly IRL too, and they're super annoyed at the time, but after some time passes, you're able to look back and laugh, or just shrug it off. This was something done to a forum on the internet, and we did intend for some to get annoyed, and some to play along, or have fun. Why? Because that's what April Fools is about. If you're upset, I'm sorry, but.. that.. is part of the AF deal. xD;

[Empathy]

That! WAS MASTER TROLLING!

Congratulations on such a successful, epic April Fool's prank. It was so much fun, and not to mention, at times a bit frustrating too I'm sure everyone loves you now, Lerroux!

Wow, you've just blown me away. Great job, and well hidden. Although I'm still questioning... does Forever really hate Kaori?

[dragon456]

This is the best online prank I've ever seen admittingly :3

[Retribution]

As evident by my signature, I'm kinda one of the people who rage-quitted. X'D I do think you deid overstep it though. Alas, PC is my home. On a more positive notice, I had a very strong attitude of "It's definitely a April Fools Joke!" to begin with. :p I guess I'm gonna stay. HEEEEEEY, now I've gotta get a new avatar and signature (stupidly didn't save my last one.) XD
Also, Went, you're evil. XD I had no idea AT ALL that you were Lerroux. XD

[QuilavaKing]

Some of them the people that were legitimately trying to become mods though... >.>

I suppose it is their own fault though. lol

This pretty much sums up my thoughts.

Yeah, it was pretty well planned and I rather enjoyed it myself until the last part there. I'll give you props for sure.

Google and Youtubes were small and harmless. Bubapedia got a lot of crap from last years and did a small joke this year. PC permanently damaged its reputation with people that come here for serious research and news.

If it weren't for the community here presenting me with better sources of info that I need I would have left as well.

And there are sites that don't do pranks specifically so they don't lose members. My site didn't do any 1) Because I dislike them, 2) Because last time we did it we lost a large chunk of members ourselves.

Its disrespectful to the members and guest.
