I must say... that was an amazing prank. Kudos on that, guys. At first I though "Hey, great April Fool's joke". Then, as the night went on, people started to get really mad. I was thinking "Man! If people are getting this upset, there's a chance this is real". I believed it for a while. Although, I thought it was pretty risky. A lot of people are pretty mad, right now. Regardless, you got me!

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.

Lol, you guys are just sour grapes because you fell for it. I did too, just accept it. Lame guys :p
 
That "New Age" talk sort of worked both ways. Either you saw it was a joke cause of how ridiculous it sounded, or it convinced you that HS really had lost his marbles.

It's good to know our staff have a sense of humor.

I accept it lol.
I just think it was a risky joke.
 
Try harder. I've seen better, more mature, less obvious and funnier jokes than this one.

But you have successfully succeeded upon drawing even more people away from your site, congratulations!
 
I guess this prank was what WPM was working on instead of getting the main site back up after the move a month ago.
 
Nice one, everybody. I think everybody HS an apology. :/
There was some serious haterz and tons of spam going on in the new order.
Even the mods started locking threads with all the spam, it was hilarious.
 
I'm sorry some of you have a hard time dealing with a literally HARMLESS joke on April FOOLS. I'd hate to see how you will deal with the real world when you get older. I mean, getting shook up over a Pokemon forum online where nothing bad even happened? I'd hate to see a real catastrophe happen to you on a day where you don't expect bad things to happen. I.e. The other 364 days of the year.

Seriously, get over it. Find something REAL to get mad about. Some of you are worse than 8 and 9 year olds I know.
 
^ I thought it was cool... I'm going to use the Arceus background, the only thing that I didn't like was the layout, it made my eyes hurt ><

I guess you're right. I do get angry REAL easily. I gotta admit though, absolutely genius the joke!

WPM, this is a forum to discuss Pokemanz. Like they weren't going to take offense to your joke, LOL. I, on the other hand, have found myself in the position of LOLing, for a long time now. This was a great joke, WPM, kudos to actually fooling so many people with it (including me, LOL).
 
I myself will also be using the Arceus background. Kudos to Bela for making that, really, it is nice :>

I'm not so much mad about the joke as I am about my privacy being breached. I really don't think it was cool you guys had a laugh at my expense ;/

But yeah, I have seen better jokes and less obvious ones, but eh this isn't bad. I do think it might have been in poor taste but all in all nobody died on the outside :)
 
damn, WPM puttin it bluntly to yall...

meh the joke was ok no biggie to me, I mean put 2 and 2 together people you should have realized what was up, almost every forum I go on (anime, sports, pokemon, digital graphix) pulled somethin,
lets all just move on to a brighter future...:)
 
I was laughing with dawn of xatu over aim at the "chaos" the last two days. lol at the doomsayers....

A very well orchestrated April Fool's Joke, if I do say so myself. =P

In case anybody liked the skin that was used, it's still available. Go to User CP -> Edit Options -> Board Style -> "PokeBeach Darkness"
Click to expand...

It dosn't have that on mine edit options.
EDIT - Never mind I have it now.
 
Oh, I knew this was a joke the entire time, that's why I abstained from making any comments, even though I was online. I was just pointing out that it wasn't very funny.
