ALL April Fool's jokes are in bad taste. For the record, I wasn't a part of this... just one of the people sitting back watching in amusement because I knew what day it was lmao...

So'kay.
We just wanted to really make it clear to you all that yes you do stress us out some days but we don't tell you that. We don't like ruining your day even if ours isn't all that dandy. To those who think "new mods" would be a good thing, I want all of you to sit back for the next day or two and think about the pressures of what it's like to keep 200+ people happy on a forum. I want you to think about how would you manage to do that and still do what you may do right now In Real Life. Just put yourselves in our shoes for one really REALLY thought about moment of thought... Then ask yourself,
"If our staff left us today or tomorrow, would I be able to rise to the occassion if called upon and handle the real duties that they performed?"
To be honest with every last one of you, A simple thing as saying "Thank You" every once in a while or even a blue moon to a staff member makes our day a whole lot brighter. This place is meant for you guys, but if the gears that run it rundown before it's time for them to do so.. Well this place won't run at all now will it?
Edit: About that 200+ member thing... I think it's time for account listing cleaning. We've got 1,179 members. I have a feeling some of them are inactive as all get out.

^ ^ LOL Cheetah.
And Kahlah, I know how ya feel. It's hard enough with 20 members.
For the sake of Kah's nerves, and the fact that I do realize how hard it is to keep a forum going, staff, thanks. ^.^

I'm glad to hear you guys are keeping everything open, I would miss this place. I do understand how that feels to be a mod in a rather large forum..I've been there before and it isn't easy to keep your sanity. Provided you had any in the first place. I -could- rise to the ocassion if asked.

I still find no humor in upsetting and panicking an entire forum just for your own amusement. Yes, I was 99% certain it was a joke, but it was a -sick- joke, regardless of how much you'll tell me I have no sense of humor. It's like walking up to someone and telling them their mother/father/whoever just died and then laughing in their faces when they start freaking out. And yes, I am upset with you all. I run two very active forums and post on I don't know how many more and I still manage to keep up with life. So yes, I -could- rise to the occasion if half the mod staff dropped off the face of the planet. Whether I would -want- to is another thing. I don't know if I'd want to remain associated with the place.

No, you see Kishi told us in a questionative manner to get new mods ..people who have time for the forums. When in fact it is the admin's right to shut down the forums if their staff is stressed also if they CHOOSE to NOT pass the forums on to anyone else, then no one can make them do that.
Watching people spazz and freak out? Lately on these forums that's an everyday thing. Didn't take this thread to do that.
Kudos? Naa I don't need them but they are a Good food though.
Now this "Kudos" to Staff in general Yea I do believe every blue moon a thank you would be nice to those who deserve it.

This isn't the worst April Fool's joke I've seen today. I saw my fair share of tasteless dead puppy/animal abuse pranks today, so this doesn't even hold a candle. See, what they WERE going to do was go "Ohhhh boo hoo, Liney is closing and we're all doomed (insert sad music here)" but then surprise us with a new skin and go "just kidding, now here's a pretty new layout for spring!!" But instead, everyone killed each other, one person gave it away, then people started insulting all the staff and it ruined everything because now everyone hates each other. So, it apparently didn't go quite as planned... I think half the forum is mentruating right now, or it's a full moon or something... > ;< Normally, people here have far better senses of humor lol...

It may not hold a candle, but I don't appreciate being treated like I'm stupid or something and then being mocked by moderators when I make my feelings known. So, goodbye all. If you need anything, check the byebye thread for my contact info. *bows out*
