Well said!

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.
Dealing with it quite well, seeing as how I'm older than you. I honestly don't care what happened, more or less the unprofessional and poor taste your joke caused. You also don't seem to realize the kind of widespread panic and insanity it really could cause and the frustration it is no doubt taking upon your moderating staff who have to deal with the crazy people who are mad about it.
Bad taste in jokes. Seriously, you cannot blame people for getting mad about it, seeing as how some of your members really are dedicated to this site and were probably going absolutely nuts when they saw this "joke" go off, considering that some of your members pretty much live their lives (unfortunately) at this site.
In addition, it once again makes you look unprofessional. Do you want your site to be continuously referred to as "The Pokemon site that really shows its childish colors"? Or do you want some legitimate credibility for once? Its no wonder so many people lose respect for this site.
QFT.

What about the site going down last year? What about Phione? What about the prerelease scans? Just saying, credibility isn't 'Beach's strength.
This was a stupid move. Think about it. If you'll go to this much trouble playing a joke, I for one know that I can't believe anything posted on PokeBeach. How do we know that every new scan or translation that you post isn't a fake?
I know that I'm not going to be sending any PMs to any of the moderators here, unless it's necessary, as well.
Also, it's not fair to all those people who spammed like crazy. They were kind of tricked into it. You knew that there would be chaos, you say, so surely you knew that the whole forum would turn into a disaster full of flaming and spamming.
You have been warned.
