Title: Honestly?
Post by: MS-DOS4 on March 31, 2015, 09:46:05 am
I like it. This year's prank is great, I had no idea there was a language setting in our profiles. I might just keep it on! ;D

Honestly it took me a few minutes to figure out what had even changed when I noticed something looked different, then I realized the site had switched to æ--¥æœ¬èªž. I might just leave it this way to be honest~

Edit: バード・ã,¦ã,£ãƒ¼ã,¯ (Bird Week/weak)? Makes no sense to me, unless they misspelled beak (ãƒ"ーã,¯)  :P

I noticed it as soon as I logged in today. Very amusing change going on here for April 1st. Here I thought it was just my user settings acting up again.

I just thought my settings had been acting up too, initially.

I guarantee manuel was behind this ;D

By the way, I wonder how that naming script worked. I was also named "星ã,'みã,‹ã²ã¨"-Hoshi o Miru Hito. As I can see many different people were also named after Famicom titles lol
Hoshi o Miru Hito-星ã,'みã,‹ã²ã¨

I was looking for somewhere to complain but then I'm still bummed about the possibility of this place closing - you guys are the reason I have so many great  :redcart: games.

But yeah, I ... gotta ... I can't read this, guys. I'm just basically clicking randomly to get to my PMs. (Okay, not really, but you get it.)

Oh, good. I've been re-named to Takeshi no Chōsenjō. Lol. Okay, I'm good with this now. :)

Okay, back to English now.  The Japanese setting is still selectable from your profile if you want to keep it, though.

This year, I swapped everybody's names, avatars, and signatures on my forum. It was moderately entertaining for a while. Perhaps an idea for next year?  ;)

edit: actually, probably not a good idea on a forum that conducts business...

Yeah, we'll think of something.  :bomb:

Although I thought it was an obvious April fools it was still funny! :)

It will always be obvious, because most people go into not-wanna-get-fooled mode by March 31st and doubt everything.  :P

Yeah but then you let your guard down and bang!

The biggest reason regulars are not easily fooled by this is because they know you always do something funny with the site on April 1st so when they see something strange they immediately check the date.
