    Whoa whoa whoa! I don't have an ego. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I don't have any negative qualities whatsoever. As a human being, I am pretty smurfing spectacular.

    I have to admit that was a damn good prank. Had me going.

    The article was brilliant. Sometimes the more subtle pranks are the best ones. I wish people had kept it going instead of 'Ohhhhh prannnnk oh no you don't' and then 'oh shut up enjoy the prank you lame-o!' ALL OF YOU PLAY ALONG DAMMIT

    Well, my problem with past April Fool's gags around these parts is that the whole prank started a month or something like a month and a half before April 1st. And most pranks stirred unnecessary drama. So instead of a fun prank that is supposed to take place in one day, most pranks were, "Ha ha! Basically everything that happened for the past month was a prank! It's just a prank, bro! C'MON IT'S JUST A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT, BRO!"

    It's cool to set up a prank leading up to the 1st, but it is pretty lame to enact a prank for a whole month.

    I have no idea what you trolls are referring to about a prank. Our friends @ Nishibun wrote a fantastic article about the return of Sakaguchi & I brought the news to the West. Some people are so ungrateful!

    Bad: After I type something in italics but decide I don't want it any longer the cursor goes rogue and deletes everything before the italics. It really is just the worst. It did it as I was typing this post.

    Good: N/A

    The best April Fool's was when Del Murder pretended to quit EoFF staff, but what had really happened was that he'd locked Loony BoB away and secretly taken over the site. My NDA just ran out and the severance I got for keeping quiet wasn't that much, so cat's out of the bag now!

    I thought of something great about here recently.

    I play Agricola every two weeks with a regular group of people and one of them has a 17 year old socially reclusive son. He was telling me about his son's online relationship with someone from the East Coast. He was happy for his son because he could see a positive social change in him while he interacted with her, but was nervous about his general social functionality in the wider world. I was able to relate to him my experiences through this site and watching people grow up, form and break relationships, and even normalize a little bit. I think he appreciated what I could offer him.

    During this conversation a second thread in the back of my mind grew louder. It said

    Go
    back
    and
    post

    >>> The good: Is still about FF and Videogames. And the people, EoFF members are one of a kind.
    The bad: FF is not as big as it used to be so this place has become a niche forum at this point.

    About the art scene, it was never big here at Eoff to begin with.
    EoFF always was the FF site who didnt care much about the art, compared to other FF sites like Caves of Narshe, FF Shrine or FF Online.
    It had its moments though, like when Eoff used to have that fanart gallery.

    Can't believe only this loser's statement still hold true. The rest are basically filled with bulltrout based on their absence.
