    Nah, they would never remove that forum. It's what makes PC unique, and what got PC a lot of its members.

    Tbh it's sad all of this is over I can't spam now :(

    Bahaha I loved this years April Fools.
    Good show chaps. I hope you enjoyed my mod application, it was fun to write~

    I knew it was a prank like right away mainly due to the whole Lerroux joining in March 2012... That and no one here would allow that to occur, it was good though, there was a few moments where I was like "... Wait.."
    It was hilarious to see people actually taking it seriously though.....
    But yeah, loved it, you were all very good in the acting department, especially Drew (but what do you expect?) and Kaori's whining to me outside of the forums about how Nica hates her made it very believable!

    Bring on next years <3

    Haha, well done. The entire time I was reading, I thought it had to be an April Fool's joke but it was really elaborate and well thought out - enough so that it made you wonder if there was actually some truth to it, regardless of the date.

    Probably me. I replied to quite a lot of the VMs. But if not, I think only one or two other mods did.

    Well played, PC, well played. I'm glad I went along with this because it's no fun if you don't! If the moderator applications didn't happen I would have completely fallen for it, too.

    But you know what was the most hilarious thing? Mr. Cat Dog's posts. "As ex-smod and official Fuhrer of the Pokecommunity, I say **** this ****!" Favorite mod now! :D

    it was silly and stupid Joke. I actually thought that it had a chance of being true and well to be fair I kinda wished it would be more straight trick and nothing like this one that seemed to be insulting to our intelligence!

    Personally I did not found it funny and only thought it was annoying!

    Now now, if it were so silly and stupid, you wouldn't have thought that it had a chance of being true, now would you? :P

    The point of this prank was to shock people if they believed it, and it was successful. You may not have liked it, but most people don't really like being pranked.

    In reflection, I think it was brilliantly stages, so congratulations you got me there. But I did have my suspicions. If the AA's had the power to stop Lerroux in his tracks then why didn't they? I mean the lack of even an attempt to stop him I believe made it a little bit evident it was a joke. Nevertheless, it did get me, haha I feel a bit stupid now. :x If this did happen though, seriously, I would still stand by what I did. In fact I still do, but now to know it was a joke is a bit of a relief. A positive I think, is that we've come to realise just how many people really care for the community. It distinguishes those who are inferred to focus on themselves more than the community, from those who are the opposite. (Not thats its bad or anything.)

    But yeah, this year has been a memoreable April Fools, so thanks, it's been...interesting.

    Lerroux had been 'blackmailing' Steve to the point where Steve would willingly unban Lerroux after I had banned him. People did try to stop him, but with the owner of the forum on his side (through no choice of his own), it became very impossible for it to keep it that way.

    I still wanted the epic ending where the H-Staff banded together and banned Lerroux and restored order, then pretended it wasn't an April Fools joke at all.

    Copying off my usertitle from yesterday: What an April Fools' joke.
    It was fun to read the fake forum and see all the work put into it, and I really applaud the staff for doing their best in beating the April Fools' pranks PC's had in the past. I was already looking forward to it when I realized March was over, so I was only pranked, surprised and shocked for like five seconds...I think. XD

    I think this years prank was a bit over the top. It made me scared of the staff for a moment, before I realized that it couldn't possibly be true. Well planned and staged though.

    I actually agree with this, though. Those five seconds of fear were unnerving, to say the least. Even after realizing it, I still think some of the jokes were too much, namely the ones that personally hit !members (I'd understand mods jokingly teasing their own because they were in on it, but teasing members wasn't really a nice thing to watch). D:

    Still, a nice April Fools'. One thing I'm happy about is how it reminded me to check out on Google's and other sites' pranks. And I enjoyed those, too. :P
