    Ok, come on. The joke's completely on me in this case, and I find it smurfing hilarious. You guys need to chill a little bit. This was the most orchestrated prank I've ever seen.

    I thought that the "Plot Twists" thread should have clued everyone in.
    I don't pay attention to most GC topics.

    What I'm hitting myself over is D's edit in Kishi's thread. It was so out-of-character, I immediately thought it was a joke(I even thought that Kishi had made the edit himself in D's name). Kishi deleted the thread, made a new one. D used the exact same edit message. I wondered why and how, but I never thought to look into it. That was the biggest tip-off for me.

    I saw and interpreted all of the hints. I noticed the Plot Twist thread, and thought, "Hey, that could be a hint." But I never expanded on those thoughts. It never occurred to me that anybody would put this much effort into so much. Losers.

    I love it how Raist knew nothing. He would have done such a great acting job, too.

    EDIT: Yams, she means on the Who's Online list. If there's no thread title, it's invisible.

    Yes. Although I am a little bit angry, I'm so flippin` happy that it WAS all a joke, and that completely overwhelms any other feelings. I'd much rather have it this way, and be a joke, and make me feel stupid, to be honest.

    I suppose I'm just different because I don't like being taken for an idiot, especially by people I hardly know.

    Yeah, I completely missed the GC hints because I ignore 99% of the threads in GC. I also don't stare at Who's Online like some people.

    Everything the staff did was out of character for the past few weeks.

    Del calling D a coward, yeah wasn't buying that. Big D getting all uppity but then turning around and making Shlup her birthday thread, that was just weird. And BoB being so nonchanlant about the whole thing while m4tt was spewing acid.

    I've been deprived of Lost for nearly a month. I had to turn my attention elsewhere. And EoFF did just the trick. *pets*

    He did, but it was all intentional. All staged. We've all been taken for fools.

    I was hoping matt was stepping down. Sorry man.

    I was pretty certain Kishi never posted porn. After asking for evidence, I concluded there must be none. I was also really shocked by how out of character staff turned into. I just didn't make the final connection. So, as much as I would like to say "You didn't get me!" Yeah, you guys did. Good work, and well orchestrated. That was really something.

    I think it would be even more funny if foa and eest got de-CKed.

    I was really hoping this would bring about a little bit of change around here, but despite it all being a joke, I think we can all learn a little about this joke today.

    It is NOT okay to post porn.

    Anyways, I have a real AFJ to pull off now that is about the same magnitude as this one IRL, so I'll take confidence from how successful this one was.

    I STILL stand behind everything I posted in light of this, joke or not, though I drew a huge sigh of relief when I was informed everything was just an elaborate gag as well as experiment.

    Take care all.

    I stand behind nothing I posted, because I don't give a damn about any of you anymore.
