The Whole April Fools/Hacking/Mod Forum thread
 
I am darn sick and tired of all the stupid threads going on around here about the joke the Staff played. I'll make everything so clear that even stupid members like Sheepnut will understand.

1: This whole thing was a joke. Everything from the hacking, to the Staff forum (that I'll get to in a min). All of it. It's April Fools, you are a fool if you think all this is real.

2: So even if the forum was hacked, the spammers couldn't have made all them posts so quick right? Well, yea that's right they couldn't have. But did anyone here think that we planed all this way ahead of time? Did we just get everything going over night? We had this idea going for months, that's why a new forum (aka the March Mod Lounge) was started, that's why we filled it with stuff all of you would hate, that's why it was shown to the members. We had all this worked out more then a month ago, that's why you see that forum with so many posts.

3: If you're going to leave over this then by all means leave. Because whoever is stupid enough to believe all that was a hacking, all that was Staff hate members, all that was truth then we don't need you here.

And the next person who starts a thread about this April Fool's joke, flames a Staff member, or any of that other junk is going to get a warning, and if I'm in a bad mood then you'll get a temp ban.

ok thanks that clears everything up.

sorry if i insulted any admins or mods, i was sucked in by the trick.

Kurono April 1st, 2006 1:20 PM

About time someone made it clear, these idiots were beginning to get on my nerves.. >>;

Shadowfaith April 1st, 2006 1:20 PM

Perhaps people need to understand the meaning of 'April Fools'.

For one, it has 'fool' in it.

You would actually think that people would know such things in this day and age.

Loki April 1st, 2006 1:20 PM

For #2, I said that in Sheepnut's thread, so yes, some of us did realize you had to have planned this weeks beforehand. I was indeed gullible, but perhaps you should've kept this whole joke confined to the staff members, who got the short end of the stick? I'm not angry at all, don't get me wrong, as I've gotten my apology, but still, it would've been nice to know so I could've gone to bed peacefully...

Karmillina April 1st, 2006 1:24 PM

well, some people are too innocent (or too foolish) to accept that this stuff was a JOKE!!! I linked to this topic on my signature, I hope that it doesn't bother you...

Egyptian Sphinx April 1st, 2006 1:24 PM

I didn't care about this April Fool's joke at all but it is funny

What would be the reason to do all that work posting, getting everything ready and set up if it's just going to be a Staff thing? The whole reason behind that fake forum was to trick the members. Making it a "Staff only" thing would kind of defeat the whole purpose of it don't you think?

Yikes, what I saw in the staff lounge, made an image of what I think of you guys. You didn't have to go as far as showing the lounge. Now forever I think you guys are morons because of how you *supposedly* talked about members. Nah, I don't hate you. Creating that Antimod club was just for fun. But, when ever I see a staff my head goes to.....a really bad person...

All in all...Hi!

Chizzy April 1st, 2006 1:29 PM

Hold on...Why did you do this to cause unwanted conflict? around 20 members i think have been banned over this and who is Todoroki? There has been a mamber on a forum i am a member on alled todoroki and he has said he will hack into our site too?

Lily April 1st, 2006 1:29 PM

We just didn't expect members to truly believe its authenticity; simply disregarding it would've been expected.

edit: For a brief info on Todoroki, just click on the link on my sig.

MewMagicianChi April 1st, 2006 1:30 PM

Out of all the stupid things I've seen on PC, this has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

Why the heck would you all want to toy with the members emotions like that?
And if this was a joke (witch you so claim), it was very poorly plained.

Dogboy2709 April 1st, 2006 1:30 PM

i thought one of those things in the MML was funny, like i liked the major N00B of the month thing (or was it weeks, i can't remeber) anyone, you really had us going there for a while. i'm pretty sure this AF joke will be rememberd years from now

Ryoutarou April 1st, 2006 1:31 PM

Todoroki is the name of a main character in a Japanese TV show who plays the guitar.

Right. Wrong guy.

For the most part it was Lily(I think), otherwise it was just random staff members in his account.

Loki April 1st, 2006 1:31 PM

Well no, what I meant was that I just wish you hadn't made me a much bigger part of it all. I mean, it was definetly smart to make it public, but I meant that I was wondering why you hadn't made the people who were actually involved in the actual joke mods/admins. As in- okay nevermind.

And Kent Colton Rogers, I'm guessing you were talking to me when you talked about yelling in public, but I don't know why everyone else who was yelling as well didn't get...well, dragged into the whole thing...wait, nevermind, I re-read the post, but I'm still confused at your meaning.

Did you even read my post? The Mod Lounge you guys saw was a fake. Do you really think we'd let you guys see our real lounge?

Well guess what? You made it sound serious - -;; and the gullible 'fools' like me around here actually believed it >.> and look whats happened...

You know what? I think I'll just be leaving the forums for a short time now..at least until everything is cleared up >___> Besides, mods don't like the 'fools' like me..thats why a lot of people are banned..

Chizzy April 1st, 2006 1:34 PM

So who is Todoroki in This forum I am in? Its called Pokemon Genesis and this Todoroki has bad spelling etc...

Why wasn't I fake-banned though?

Did I suck that much at playing along? ;o;

Probably some idiot trying to copy the joke.

Shadowfaith April 1st, 2006 1:35 PM

Then perhaps none of it should have been played. I have to agree that it all went a little to far, but the blame is not only on the members or the staff, it was just all a big...mess, its better forgotten.

Perhaps to make it less real after members like me started to freak out?

But still, would I be able to know who was the one who controlled Todoroki when he accused me? -_- Cause it wasn't Lily...

MewMagicianChi April 1st, 2006 1:38 PM

Pitty, alot of members have left because you idiots wanted to make them feel bad.

What a sick way to have fun.

Lily April 1st, 2006 1:38 PM

It'd help if people stopped digressing. I'm sure many of us apologize for the severity of the joke, but really, is there any reason to stretch it out to further the cause?

Bell, I'm reiterating, but none of it was intentional. Accusations were falsely thrown, and the issue is over with.

Chizzy April 1st, 2006 1:39 PM

Can I just get an answer...Why did the Mods plan this if they knew that they would cause unwanted conflict. 20 members have been needlesly banned for getting worked up over this. Sorry if this goes the wrong way but some bannings of people were unfair considering the scenarios.
