Alpha Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Alright folks, just wanted to say my piece in this year's april fools joke. It wasn't planned and truly was a last minute decision. If you would have told me last year that this was the joke we were going to pull this year, I wouldn't have believed you! Thanks to everyone who played along and made it really fun for the 10-12 hours we had it going. Just about every website had an April Fool's joke this year and it was amazing to see everyone's idea. Some made you mad, some made you laugh, and some you absolutely loved. However, with every risk, pays a price. One of the members apparently never has heard of April Fools Day (April 1st) and threw a storm at one of the developers we host on 1Emulation, quite specifically StellaDS. You can see the PM one of our Admin's received first.. REMOVE EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT ME FROM YOUR SITE.I HAVE NOT SIGNED UP FOR YOUR PORN SITE,OR ANY OTHER,EVER. DO THIS NOW.At first glance, we all laughed, because where's the fun in April Fools if no one actually takes the joke seriously? But this was until he forwarded his views to TheChuckster (Author of StellaDS) who blamed my "irresponsible actions" on the matter. I want to personally apologize to TheChuckster for any inconveniences I may have caused him. I rarely ever do public apologies, but this was one really took me off balance. To his requests, we will no longer be hosting the StellaDS forum unless he changes his mind. It is indeed a shame and hopefully some of you can PM him your thoughts on the matter. As to the user (we'll call him R.P.) who stirred all the controversy, what goes around comes around (next April 1st). So I hope you check Wikipedia, Encarta, or any encyclopedia you use to understand what the day is all about until someone royally "OWNS" the living daylights out of you.

Alpha Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I hope he does come back Maybe next time you should warn a few people who may have a vested interest in the forum being "normal."Well, the people who are close to 1Emulation staff, know that I message everyone when we have something new to show everyone. I did message Chuck and he aknowledged it as a simple April Fool's joke and didn't appear to have a problem with it. I assure you if he did have a problem when he first messaged me his response, I would have done something a lot sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyoak99 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Quite honestly, some people need a clue, and need to be able to laugh.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I agree completely; they also need to look at a calendar before they do anything rash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Gamecop said he didn't know what april fools day was. If he had known he probably would have laughed a long with everyone else. At first glance I thought 1emu had been hacked, or worse bought by a actual porn site, I was about to cry, but then, realising the date, I got blown of my chair with laughter.

Weirdy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Quite honestly, some people need a clue, and need to be able to laugh.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah really; this makes me wish a "thinking cap" was real you know. Then maybe they'd be able to block off all incoming thoughts and say "hmm...duh! it's April first!" or "C'mon, a drastic decision like that? ON A SATURDAY! ha!" :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
