your ourburst was a dead giveaway, to say the least.
the only thing i could see you getting so upset over is if someone doesn't thumbnail an image. :3

It got locked because at that point, everyone was saying 'That was a bad joke', 'lol, i got pranked', or 'i fucking knew it'. Oh, and your incessant 'I am upset because the mods should apologize instead of telling us to fuck off'. News flash, many of us (including myself) did apologize-- multiple times, even.

Exactly. I'm not prone to explode like I did. To be honest, I thought it looked too contrived. ^^;
And yeah, it killed me to have to see those huge images. I remember going to edit the posts saying 'are they serious', and then remembering I was banned and couldn't. :derp:

Since the point of 'it was obvious' comes up so often, I guess the fact that this board is highly multi-national worked against the original idea.
I can't speak for others, but due to timezones I was fast asleep when this infamous thread that started the joke began, and I assume lots of other Europeans were as well.
Because of that, when I woke up the site was already down, and since my link doesn't go to the frontpage, I didn't see the redirection either.
Now at that point I was thinking of an update, since it had been announced a few times I think. Up to that, everything was alright, and for people for whom it went like that, all the chaos aferwards is obviously non-sensical.
The real thing then started when I went onto IRC and made the mistake of asking about the site being down. Because from that moment onward I only could get different second-hand opinions, mostly from people who believed it wasn't a joke, plus the added acting from some of the staff.
In short, not having been able to see all the stuff that was done to make the joke obvious at all, and consequently lacking any first-hand-information, might be part of the problem for some people.
So, lesson for the future: Keep the obvious signs up longer, so that everyone will see them :D

Sorry -- I tend to be inept at conveying things in that kind of atmosphere, and I was directing it at the mods who were swearing at people instead. You were cool.
Matsuri:
It's fine. I do think that if there was less yelling on both ends, many more apologies would be shared. Noise is a bitch.
However, that didn't happen. It is what it is, so it's best that we all just let it go. Lesson learned on both ends, eh?

You've got a point.I think we probably would have dragged the ragequit piece out a bit longer, but things got a bit too chaotic, what with Kuma posting porn, and Pseudolus+everyone else posting that one really creepy pic, and others posting 5-figure pixel images.
I do have to say though, the fakebans were hilarious on my end, even my own. xD
