Norpo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's not funny, for an hour you had all the forum members hating you, whoever at Squad thought this would be funny needs some serious help.An hour? It took an hour to realize it was a joke?Geez, i'm already angry at the snow outside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt_flyer Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I love how he says check your calendars. If everything here had been postponed another hour, my calendar would CLEARLY say April the 2nd.As would pretty much >50% of the worlds. Still does in fact.You should recheck the post... They never said 'in a week and a half'... They said 'a week from wednesday'... And 7 days after a wednesday will still be a wednesday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryer_lint Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It actually was pretty funny when you think about it, but it seriously needed either an "April Fools!" note at the bottom, or a release closer to April. I did like the humor though, once I thought about it. The paid subscriptions should have tipped us off.Face it, the mods got us. The mods got us good. But it REALLY needed an indication that it was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm thinking there's deeper meaning to this though; perhaps March 20th means something?Is it the birthdate of Loki in Norse mythology? We need to figure this out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felsmak Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If this is a joke, they must have known it would make everyone angry. If they made everyone angry by telling the joke, they'd want to make them happy again. This could be accomplished by releasing 1.0. on the day they claim they're going to implement this update.

Bill Phil Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's still terrible. Even if it is a joke.It's a cruel joke. It's not even a joke.And don't post it in "Announcements" if it's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfire32 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 While it may not have been funny, they got us good. REAL goodI disagree. What if they had made this post in January and said that the forum changes would take effect in April and then admitted in a PM that it was all an April Fool's joke?That's not smart humor. That's bad taste.There's a reason why April 1st pranks happen ON April 1st. So crap like this doesn't happen, and we can all have a laugh about it. Now, though, Squad's got a borderline PR CRISIS on their hands because not everyone is going to figure it out in a timely manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, pfft.- - - Updated - - -Now the community has been pissed, as far as I am aware Green iron Crown was an experiment in how much negative rep can be gotten on this forum.Let us try this "experiment" again.

basic.syntax Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I would like to request that they edit the announcement post with "Happy 1st of April" or something similarYes, something this hot-button shouldn't require folks to do math. "These awesome changes to this forum, requested by everyone on reddit and twitter, will go live on April 1!" And even after that, it was written with such good detail, that I'd probably fall for it.
