There isn't going to be a next year April Fool's prank, not if I can help it...or at least nothing that leads to a World War Three. XD |

I'll agree with The Kaiser for once, but I guess I also feel differently from some of you. Granted, I'm 19, so I like to think I'm a bit more mature than some people, but some of the fans of this couple ARE immature. I thought it was only mildly amusing, then I saw the chaos. I don't know, it just doesn't seem funny at all anymore, and WAS a bit cruel. I'm not flaming any mods or anything, but I do believe the whole thing went too far. Truthfully, some of the mods should really have seen this coming. I don't flame or anything, but in truth, I signed on to this forum for a reason. Seeing as some of the members thought this to be real, I'm not surprised that some of them would want to leave. If it had been something real, I myself would have quietly left. I don't know, it just seemed like one great big blast of immaturity on ALL fronts. From the bashing to the flaming to the egging on, the whole thing blew up. Then again, my opinion doesn't really mean too much. I barely even come to this particular BBxRae shrine anymore anyways. Found a better one, but I still come on occasionally. Just my opinion. Take it or leave it. |

I thought it was a funny prank. It was sad that some people got really upset. |

I thought it was kinda funny too.When I say the mods and admins are mean though,I'm being sarcastic.Though when some of us got furious like that..me included..that's where I think the chaos broke loose.All who had been angry,that includes me,now probably feels like a fool..Thus the point of april fools day!Happy april fools day everybody!

Well, it's good to see some people being good sports about it. ^_^ I do admit, the intensity was proabably the worst part of the whole flame war. Seriously, if the staff are planning a joke for next year, I'm so not doing it... |

Yeah, but when I was terrified you were brave enough to actually step into the huge flame war and of all things, stopped it. I gotta respect you majorly for that. (Even though I respect the staff from the start.) I mean, I played chicken the whole time. Seriosuly, I think you should be promoted, Jason. ^_^ I think if it wasn't for you, the whole thing would still be going on. Props man, props.

Totally agree. Some people just need to get a sense of humour. I mean c'mon it was obvious. Oh well now let us all eat cake, drink wine and be merry! *hic* |

I'll second the relief that it's over. I mean, it would have been a good prank, really, if members hadn't taken it so seriously. The thing is... some of us did take it seriously. I'm not saying that doing so was ridiculous; heck, I was one of them, seeing that my odd sense of humor made the thought of it being a joke nonexistent due to the fact that I didn't find it worthy of side-splitting laughter. (Not that I'm dissing the idea. Due to the fact that I wouldn't have found it extraordinarily hilarious, I think that the light-hearted members would have been greatly amused by it... that makes no sense, but whatever, it's true.) So, please, do me one favor in the aftermath: don't think poorly of the people that were angry or left over it. I agree that the flaming which occurred was completely uncalled-for, but as for those who weren't rude but were still distraught, there's no reason to say that they didn't survive a test of friendship and aren't true BB/Rae shippers and have no faith in the staff, etc. They didn't know it was a joke. Take it from somebody that was giving this place a chance only until April 2nd-- no non-flamers that left didn't trust the staff or whatever. I mean, when you actually think that one of your favorite forums has just switched to a ship that you respect but nowhere near like... maybe they didn't take into account the devotion of the staff, but that doesn't make them "bad" or anything. Whoa. Long rant. That aside, I'm glad that this has finally been settled, I hope that the members that left will return soon, and thanks again to Jason for ending the chaos when it got out of control. |
