    Next year, you should totally change everybody's names to the same thing. XD

    The most annoyingly frustrating joke I've ever experienced.

    And to think I excitingly encouraged and supported the idea.

  • Why didn't you put the April Fools joke as the main theme and leave the other themes alone :(
    Because then no one's theme would've been changed and no one except the people who keep their theme as default would see the joke.

    ...which would kind of defeat the purpose. :(

    Seriously, did one day with a pink Slowpoke theme kill you? As far as our April Fools' jokes, this one was probably one of our least invasive.

    You've clearly never been here for past April Fool's pranks if this bugged you that much.

  • THere could be issues with that, if it all doesn't work.
    1. No one would be able to log in correctly because all the usernames would be the same.
    2. If that did work, but something else went wrong, sending PMs and VMs could go horribly wrong.

    It would make PC too complicated.
    We did it last year. It's annoying but doable. No one's username was actually changed, we just changed it so that no matter what someone's username was, it would disregard that and display "Todoroki" everywhere instead. If you knew someone's userid, you could still find their profile (and if you knew the "username=" URL, there was that too)... and sending PMs stayed the same too. idk, I really enjoyed it even if I didn't know who was who but most people hated it.

    I actually liked last year's better because it was more chaotic. xD;

    That made it so things were always going on, where as this year it was just a theme change, and forums switched around, which was something you could adjust to pretty fast. Granted, I loved the theme. xDD
