I only just joined and what do I see? A bunch of corrupt mods.. I came here to talk aboutmy love of pokemon and apparently you all are now hated because of a fools joke. Well you guys need to learn there is such a thing as taking things too far.
Somehow I doubt that, but okay.

Like many other sites, the staff has decided to make a joke, because its April Fool's some people were actually fooled while others weren't.. :<
The ones who were fooled, but took it to the heart, are the worst of the fools.

And nothing was taken too far when no one was actually harmed, whoever had their role, played their role well.

So you blaim the members for leaving?

You did something mean, and you blaim them for getting mad?
Who ever thinks this "joke" was funny must clearly be an idiot.
Rather be an idiot and get bent out of shape over a joke. Which is what you and a lot of other people are doing. If someone left PC over a simple joke, then maybe we're better off without them. PC is supposed to be fun, you guys make too much out of simple things a lot. The one time when we get to poke fun at the members, most of you blow up at us because you just can't take a joke...which is what a lot of people like to accuse us of doing.

Im sorry but I cant believe I joined a forum and the first thing I see is all this hate towards staff for a fools joke.
...you'd think it was April Fools day or something.

But you don't get it, the joke wasn't funny, there for they left.
A person can't blame himself for someone else who acted on their own.. :<

I would, even though it was mean. And I found it funny, looks like I'm an idiot for not blowing up and getting myself banned. :<

Come on...loosen up..

Fine, what ever. You win.

This was a sick idea of a joke, and I hope who ever thought of it is happy.
And did you notice, the only ones "laughing" about it are mods or people who were in on it?

although no one was harmed it did go to far IMO. but they apologized so w/e. the people who are still mad should just let it go. leave for afew days to cool off.

Can't this just be win-win?

Hey, I wasn't in on it, in fact, I had no prior knowledge than the rest of you, yet I still whole-heartedly laugh and joke about it. So that of course kills your statement. D:

We weren't looking for very visible signs of outward praise for what we did; if you're under the impression that we were looking for legions of members to pat us on the back saying "rofl! your teh funnies!" you're completely wrong. Silence on this matter does not imply disapproval regarding what we did, despite what you may think. Most members have better things to do than to involve themselves in endless bickering.

[edit] Sorry, Jake; didn't know this was being closed, didn't mean to steal the last word.

I really think people are just wasting their time trying to convince everyone that the aftermath of the prank is the Staff's fault. :\

I've said it many times before, I'll say it again, whatever occured earlier today, is because certain members decided to blow things way out of proportion, because they have a horrible sense of humor. :<

I'm just upset I missed it. -3-
Well at least some people know Staff has some kind of humor, if you think it's funny or not.
It was pretty funny. From the fake lounge to the "blackout" to teh new little theme..XD

I took screenshots of the cheaper crap.. :<

it was a well planned and very chaotic April Fool's Joke nothing more.

Anyone that took offense to it needs to get a sense of humor and read the hints and the original post again.

my real concern is, how are we gonna top this madness next year??

Woah... if I recall correctly, there were three people banned out of this whole ordeal, and that was for swearing/flaming and basically coming right out and asking for it. -_-

The people who we "Banned" were in on the joke. We let them in on it because we knew we could trust them to keep it a secret. They consented to being "Banned" until the joke was over.

You people whine and gripe and complain about how the staff don't know how to have fun, and we're too strict, yet when we try to have a little fun, you start going off about that. It's impossible to please you people. >>

Maybe we should be more like we were in the fake Lounge. >>
He's right!

It is an April Fool's joke. It's the most elaborate one we've done yet. And we've got a problem. Members are daring Todoroki to ban them, but we can't. So I'm asking you if you could please say something that will piss him off in my thread about him, then let him ban you for a few hours. Please. I know it's a lot to ask, but we need you to for this joke to work.

That was my let in on it. The joke seemed to worked well overall.

I loved that joke. I'm really gullible, yet I still loved that joke. At least PC did SOMETHING for April Fools day. ^_^
How can you be so upset about it?
But if I was fake banned... somehow... I would freak. xD. I love PC...

Heh, I knew a hacker wouldn't be able to do any of that unless they got an admin password. I've worked with vBulletin, I know how the admin panel works. I got pretty irritated at all the chaos the joke caused, but it was a pretty dang well-executed joke. Good job!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who hasn't taken the prank all that seriously. And it is unfortunate how some people met their end, but it was of course through fault of their own.

And now that things are clear, this thread doesn't serve much of a purpose anymore. :<

So...let me get this straight...the PC staff makes a joke, and then gets mad at us when we believe it?

Sounds fair to me~ D:

Base line: Don't make a joke if you're not expecting some people to take it seriously. Us members can get *very* defensive if we feel PC and our rights are being threatened.

And on another note, I knew it was an April Fool's joke, so I'm not sure why I've had multiple staff members PM/IM/tell me that it's just a joke o.o My old signature was just playing along. But I saw that it was getting out of hand, and I stopped ;x

No. We're getting mad because people are making it a bigger deal than it really is. Because apparently when we get mad, it's us not being able to take a joke. Yet when we do it, it's us being cruel and hurting people.
