It was very nicely done... Both WPM and HS having secret admin accounts supposedly was amazing. I was fooled when it all started until I learned very quickly that it was a joke, then it was very fun to play along with.

i am pretty sure they got banned from the shennigans of today. i am fairly certain it was not for spamming but for something a little worse
This drama makes me want to go back to writing here, I even said I quit, but the drama is making me want to write here again.

I was in the chat mainly. But I was also reading through the forums, I never posted... If you were in the chat and didn't see me it was because my nick was, Unforgiven.
You know, PMJ, if you do ever get around to reading this, quoting stuff I said in PM to you and stuff I said in a PRIVATE channel to you is not cool. I deserve as much privacy as anyone else, and we've all been told not to quote ANYTHING AT ALL in that private channel. Quoting it just so all you staff members could laugh at it is not whatsoever cool and no I do not forgive you. You too, NN. Quoting stuff I said in AIM wasn't cool either.
This prank, like I said, was in VERY poor taste, but the planning is what most disgusts me, especially shattering the trust I placed in all of you guys. That isn't cool.

Nothing about these forums is necessary, neither is life if you think about it. Just go with the flow, have some fun, don't be a crybaby :ONegative Zero said:
Who's causing a drama, us or you who's making a way to big a deal out of this, Mr. Dramaqueen?Galefail said:
We should really do that name change to Dramabeach, though.

Thats right! We members deserve a bit more respect, thinking of what could of happened. I don't go to chat, but from what I've heard, is some bad stuff. i have been a visitor for 3 years and I thought different...
Spoon,Gale was mad about PMJ quoting stuff said in a private message. More on that and less of the prank itself.
Great joke (I only watched and laughed,) but it still doesn't beat the Turkish hack.

i would probably be a little mad if that were me but remember it was a joke. a harmless 1 at that. look at it this way, if it weren't for you and dmaster the mods would have been more comfortable in the leadup to this. imagine if we had figured out the NEU things would have turned out slightly less traumatic.
anyways its not all sour lemons though. the forum is back it generated conversation and no one got hurt. well not phsically anyways.

QFT.
That is all.
Come on its a joke stop going on about that its impossible that someone at pokebeach would do this. It is human nature to do silly things and you have to accept it and laugh at it. Nobody said that pokebeach staff are modest and are boring.
This was pretty awesome. At one point or another, at least 90% of the people believed it. Only the really old vets weren't buying it. Poor d master having to update the hierarchy thread 4896189 times.
I'm sorry but that was awful. You risked the accountability of your site just for a stupid little prank. You made it last way too long. This is a HUGE site, so many people go to it, and if you run it this immaturely, I'm not coming back.

Agreed. People are angry about this and the risk of losing people losing coming to the site.
