Er,sorry it kind of went out of control.I have no idea HOW it could have though.
I mean,it seemed so obvious that it was only a prank.

I thought it was pretty funny, especially seeing as the exact same thing happened on Love Never Dies. The whole idea was funny, but it was also discriminating to both BB/R and R/R. The mods/admins should have at least admitted it was a joke right when the havoc had started, instead of explaining why R/R was better and allowing members to get mad and leave.

Very insensitive.

Yeah. Trust me I'm the worst liar in the world. The joke took the wrong toll. We're very sorry about it. Could we make up for it if we start the BBRae themed April Fan Art contest?

Oh man. I guess it was for the better. How bad was it when I left for a couple of hours?

It was to horrible for words, it was out of control.

I'm really sorry about this guys. I thought people would take it as a joke, but they didn't.....I feel terrible, heck, I feel like taking a knife and scratching myself to death....I was being a terrible staff member and I didn't stop it. What kind of mod just stands there and does nothing while the whole forum breaks into World War Three? (No offence to anybody, just refearing to myself....) And now all I can think about it me, me, me...I thought about the members we lost and well, an Aprils Fools joke isn't worth it, we lost a ton of great and honorable members today, it's really a shame....

It is Selene it is. Sometimes a joke is taken the wrong way. I didn't really think of it as a joke but a test. But I this "test" was a little bit over the edge. I'm guessing that we'll PM or email any members that decided to leave.

Anyone who left today is not "honorable". It's April Fools Day, it's a drastic change that would make no sense. Put two and two together. On other sites, there are other April Fools day going on. Over at TitansGO.net, they're pulling a "Slade took over everything rawr" prank, and all the mods are playing into. But none of the members are getting angry, or cursing out the moderators. They're taking it as a joke, even the younger members, and are laughing with the mods in tangem. Heck, I was named a "Slade Minion", and I've managed to just twist into an optical illusion joke.

No one should feel bad over losing members here. If they left, then they need to grow senses of humor, because as soon as I signed on here this morning, I knew that it was a joke. A one-day change into a completely different couple? Even if I hadn't known about it being April First today I could've told it was a joke. The people running this site have for too long been shippers for Beastboy/Raven, and there'd be little sense in them changing like this.

Yeah. It was like a joke to pick between who would see through the lie. Or to see who actually believed it or not. The tru blue BBRae shippers are the ones that stood their ground and didn't leave without question. I'm not mad at any of the members here. Trust me if I was one I'd start hyperventalating.

I must agree, the ones who stayed are the true, loyal shippers that stayed and believed in the site, in the staff, in us. The ones who stayed should be proud of themselfs, god bless all of you that stayed. The ones who left just gave up to easily, in a way the prank was a mere test of friendship...

You know,I kinda have to agree with The Kaiser.

Besides,the admins aren't dumb enough to change the forum so quickly without giving us a prior notice.

As much as we feel bad about the events that happened today, it really showed some members' true colors.

At least it's over.

Can I say that I think it's inappropriate that JASON is the one who has to apologize for this, and not the people who were going insane?
