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.
Don't get defensive, I wasn't making that an "I'm mad" post X3

I just think it's a bit unfair to freak out on some people ~ when it was semi-believable.

Now that Terra_Theory should have a deserved permaban though >O

o.O Umm... the only part of this I actually noticed was the blackout thing, but seeeeeriously, everybody, it's not the staff's fault if nobody gets their joke. Frankly, if I had actually seen this fake mod forum, I'm sure I'd have found it quite hilarious. (Anybody got a screenshot or copy of it or something?)

Still not going to sprite for your fangame. Sorry, but I don't really sprite or give out permission for people to use my fake Pokémon anymore.

You know, I think this whole joke thing was just stupid. I'm going to leave now because I've lost all my respect for the whole community. >_>

Honestly, some of you are forgetting that we're actually human. Yes, I know, it's shocking. =o

Anyways, all year round we use our powers to better the community (which is boring! XD), and it's nice to actually have a chance to use our powers for something more random, else we may become all cranky and gang up on you. >o

Honestly, I bet the majority of you would have done it if you were given the chance.

Maybe, but consider the fact that there's nothing the average member can do in return on that kind of scale, after all, this holiday is supposed to be for everyone. And honestly, I don't mind the hacking jokes all *that* much, it's just that they're *SO* overdone, it's lost any amusement it could have had by now.

They would have done it worse.

An apology from me, too. But I assure you, don't take it upon yourselves to flame the heck out of us, because you will be punished, as demonstrated.

Well, if it makes you feel any better (which it likely doesn't), the hacking was just a prelude to something more elaborate >P

We actually couldn't change forum skins either, so everyone was on equal footing. We were pranking in the dark, which, undeniably, is quite a feat x_x

...a little untrue there, Kaga, AAs+ didn't have the darkness in their normal accounts. o_o; Although when we were in Todoroki we did, so no fun. ;;

Paul, everyone except for banned members can see these posts. They ARE public apologies. Also, it's really not our fault that some people took it too seriously. =/ Most people can laugh off an April Fool's joke.

They just have to dig through four pages to find them.

And frankly, everyone can take April Fool's jokes besides some of the staff. You're all crabby today, but you can't just blame us =/ This whole thing could've been avoided easily.

It's a matter of knowing when to let something go, I think.

I *do* like the blackout theme. :D

The only reason the staff appear 'crabby' is because the members' reactions were unexpected, so you can't just blame us...although, I admit, this might've been a bit overboard; I apologize. ;;?

You just completely contradicted the argument of all the people whose side you're fighting on; they're trying to convince us that no one was able to take the joke except for the malevolent facist staff, and now you're saying that the staff were the ones who couldn't take their own joke? Stick to something or quit trying to make it sound like you have a valid argument.

We are angry, and we can blame you for not having the pitifully-small amount of sense it took to see that this was all a joke. How many times do we have to reiterate ourselves to the people who feel compelled to beat this dead horse of your long-defeated arguments? If you honestly want us to not be angry, don't provoke us with nonsense.

Maybe the joke went too far. Maybe it did not. Maybe some people are too easily offended; maybe they are not. Whatever the case, it appears people on both sides of this argument are being hurt without any healing being accomplished.

What happened, happened, whether it was right or wrong. And, while people have the right the voice their grievances, I am rather sure both parties are fully aware of the grievances and arguments of the others.

During my time at the forum, I have still grown to love the PokeCommunity as a second home. And, it hurts to see it in such disarray. Please just let it rest . . .
