Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

Ever since the launch of this app, these glitches are beginning to invade most of the users' privacy. Also as what others said, you need to release the Terms of Service for us to know about this app such as myself.

And as I've suggested this before, I request you add some age filtering features as well an age limit to these younger users to prevent them from being exposed from inappropriate content.

Last but not least, I would request to open a support website so users can reach to you about these glitches and other troubleshooting problems.

I hope this e-mail will reach to you on time. I hope you have a good day.

[A few minutes after he got a notification that his e-mail is failed to sent, he is completely shocked to see his e-mail as a Retrospec post.]

Augustine Sauveterrier Of course, this happens...
Augustine Sauveterrier This can't be a coincedence.

[Because these glitches happening on April 1st is too much of a coincidence for him.]

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Ah, so that's what happens when you try to e-mail them.
Rachat Hishimura It's not a trap but it's still inconvenient.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I don't know if this is the app or glitch's work, but I know posting an e-mail after failing to send is not normal.
Augustine Sauveterrier Still, I had to try since I saw some previous posts with the same problem.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura It happened before? Well that's telling.
Rachat Hishimura They really have no interest in answering our problems. Especially considering they seem to be the source of them.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier That's true.
Augustine Sauveterrier But this makes me wonder why did they have to post the e-mail in the first place.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura After the last bit of business they pulled with that fruits video, I think they just like messing with us.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Another proof of their twisted humor.
Augustine Sauveterrier Not to mention of April Fools.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura We really should have expected it, given this stuff seems to happen around the start of the month.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier It's not only e-mail's sending fail.
Augustine Sauveterrier The glitches made it very hard for me to access the site now.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura I'm sorry but I need some clarification.
Rachat Hishimura Do you mean it had been doing this or that it's still difficult for you?

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier It's been doing this ever since April 1.
Augustine Sauveterrier The Pac-Man game, the creepypasta stories...
Augustine Sauveterrier Not to mention those Thomas the Tank Engine photos being sent into my account.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Oh, now I understand.
Rachat Hishimura I thought you were talking about the problems we were having last month, and that they were still going on.
Rachat Hishimura This stuff seems less like a glitch and more by design.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Now that you've mentioned it...
Augustine Sauveterrier It seems that these "glitches" are somehow themed to something.
Augustine Sauveterrier Like with these seemingly random glitches happened on April Fool's Day.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Last month felt more like glitches.
Rachat Hishimura This feels more like someone playing around.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Very true to the spirit of April Fools.
Augustine Sauveterrier Although the parental filter is a nice addition, though.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura One step forward, I guess. Most teenagers use worse language already though.
Rachat Hishimura ... Said the teenager herself.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier Though, I doubt if it will stay permanent.
Augustine Sauveterrier Most of the users here might not like it.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Multiple people have made that clear, yes.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I can see by their complaints so far.
Augustine Sauveterrier Regardless, I think our best move for now is to endure these glitches until they are "fixed".

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura So same as we've been doing, then.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I'm afraid so.
Augustine Sauveterrier There's nothing we can do but to adapt to this situation.

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Well, I definitely have no problem with doing that. Until we can find a way to be more proactive, learning to cope is the best way to do things.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier That is good to hear.
Augustine Sauveterrier But if you are having any problems, just make sure you contact me, okay?

[clear_eyes]

Rachat Hishimura Well, I have a few people I can go to already. One more won't hurt I guess.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterrier I see.
Augustine Sauveterrier Also, my last name is Sauveterre. I hope that clears that up.
Augustine Sauveterrier Regardless, take care and be careful out there.
