Again, the mods (in general) didn't have to promote the anger and frustration by denying that it was a joke. Wow, way to be helpful...

And can we please take down the banner? Like, now....

They probably have to wait for the main admin to take it down. Besides, jokes over, and it's not hurting much anymore.

Everyone makes mistakes. Let's please not bash the mods anymore.

Jason, I freaking love that avatar.

:rofl: The banner seriously needs to be taken down XD It's annoying knowing it's a joke and everyone was so cruel *except for the members that stayed* :cry:

Yes, they do pay for the board, dl316bh. :jinxwink:
You are SUCH a clorbag.

I really don't see what else we were supposed to do- it was a prank, and we wanted to keep it that way- if we said it was a joke too early, that'd destroy all the fun. XD

Granted, everyone took it a little too seriously, but I will defend the younger members here on this. It was not the greatest joke they could have pulled, and while they are only human, I don't understand why they didn't see such a backlash coming. Everyone acted immature about things when they were younger, and still do when they are older. I don't hold it against any of them, as I understand. I would have just left altogether quietly instead of going ape****. But hey.


Of course we knew you guys would react....well, crazily. Some a little /too/ crazily. We figured it was something we could handle.

Personally, I think it was a great joke- a lot of you fell for it. And I was having the best time defending the 'change'. XDD After a few minutes of playing along, I left for a bit, and apparently it got worse after I left. Sorry, guys. x.x If I knew it would've been that bad, I would've stayed.

Only because some members weren't able to figure out it was all a prank, and took it too seriously. /I/ thought it was rather amusing. XD

EDIT: Aw, does this mean I have to change my avatar and signature again?

Well, it wasn't very amusing to the people that aren't Rob/Rae shippers, sora.

And, if nearly everybody else besides yourself reacted differently then you had hoped, perhaps you are the one who was wrong and didn't react seriously enough.

I thought the prank was awesome. This morning when I logged in and saw the banner, I was like, "Awesome!".

I still have a hard time believing people fell for it though. I see this on tons of sites all the time on April Fools. It's not exactly the type of prank that hasn't been done a hundred times before.

XD Hey. It could've been worse.

I like to think my sense of humor can expand in the oddest situations. I happened to find all of the reactions amusing.

That's exactly why I thought it was pretty funny. XD

Yeah, I mean you can't trust anyone online. I mean, for all we know, Azier could be a 58 year old male living in his mom's basement in Utah. :shifty:

I bet you ANYTHING that if it was BB/Star instead of Rob/Rae, more people would've realized it just a joke. In fact, I bet /everyone/ would've realized it was a joke. And the responses wouldn't have been so...crazy.
