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

Hitori Togusa Looks like they're not listening again.
Hitori Togusa I'm stuck back on the question of whether this is malicious, or whether Retrospec is just truly awful at what they're trying to do.

Hitori Togusa Can I ask an odd question?

We could pull a sci-fi show trick.
And go around shouting 'frak' and 'fraking fridge' and everyone will know what we mean and it'll be a clever little pun that we think we snuck past the sensors.

[godcards]

They are not trying hard enough. This is unacceptable. They could do countless other things instead of constantly re-break their app.

[notbunaga]

i guess this is the time we live in now dave
nothing but censors the whole way down
how are you able to say shizz anyway
*shizz
*SHIZZ

Elliecat Pade Woof?
Elliecat Suddenly mine doesn't seem so bad...
Elliecat Cute profile pic though

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford ha.
Cindy Clawford you have to live with a typo for way longer than i do, apparently.
Cindy Clawford since who knows when they'll free us from terrible puns?
Cindy Clawford also i take back saying your strength was your brains, which i did not even say, peter.

Fleao Valdez don't you have a catwalk to strut down mrs. clawford

[rhapsodeity]

keep dreaming!!!!!!
as if i would trade anything for my beautiful green doggie theme
it is like in the handheld games where you can pick a theme!
i bet this is a premium one and now they cant take back because i am using it

[godcards]

They seem to be rather inconsistent with listening. Until they prove they listen consistently or not... it'd be better to keep an eye out for more of their meddling.

[rhapsodeity]

i hate the profile picture!!!!
you can have it!!!!!

[appraiser]

they're doing what they can. and i'm sure they're working on many few features to make up for it!
look, the little dancing fruit are kind of cute
i think the apples have faces

Let it be known: I ran this on the first wave of apps.

Hitori Togusa Mean age is right about on target, but the spread is thinner. We don't have a lot of the very old or very young. Which, you know, is good.
Hitori Togusa Anything else I'd run would depend on what information people put on the site.
Hitori Togusa And, well, it'd be creepy.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford it was certainly worth a shot?
Cindy Clawford but yeah wasted effort. next time send a test complaint.

[notyourutopian]

I already feel like I'm double-checking everything I do in case I've gone mad.
That sounds even more tiring.

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Of course they aren't. They never seem to listen.
Gentiana Illyria I'm leaning on malicious.

Gentiana Illyria You may ask. Aren't questions meant to be a tad odd?

cindy clawford 5ever

[aegist]

send a test complaint next time, bananabeth.

[notyourutopian]

Mine is stuck as me still.
Can't change it.
But my interface is this sort of...neon pink and yellow and blue

OH IT'S AN EASTER EGG

Wow that took way longer than it should have to figure out.

[parodeity]

i mean ive noticed a neon pink cat theme
im like immune to neon pink cat shit phasing me tho
i live with roxy

Mewsei Sakameowto Ryusei why haven't you changed your password yet...
Mewsei Sakameowto My Retrospec app has a parental lock on it now? I guess my phone is locked down too, because the pop-up to verify permission keeps getting in the way. So I'm borrowing
Mewsei Sakameowto WAIT WHAT DID I DO TO RYUSEI'S PHONE HE'S A DOG PERSON NOT A CAT PERSON THERE ARE CATS ALL OVER IT

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa True.
Hitori Togusa Have you been...seeing anything, that you thought was a memory, but doesn't seem to fit with anything else you know?
Hitori Togusa Other people have described the phenomenon, but I haven't been.

Ahem: NEEEEEERD.

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat I've only seen two little kids I think.
Elliecat And nobody that old. Just like. Oldish. Thirties.
Elliecat Yeah maybe don't stalk everybody. Or don't admit you're doing it anyway.

[godcards]

The fruit are irrelevant to the app. Did you not see the response to them... most people were unhappy. Not that I care about that in the long run... the fruit is still edible.

If nothing else, they could very well take the app down and test it before re-releasing it. But no, that is far too logical for these idiots. Hence this non-update and accompanying eye straining color schemes.

[rhapsodeity]

what!
hahahaha!!!!
ok thats kind of clever!
but pade woof is pretty terrible still and every time i comment i see a rainbow of dancing fruits with text that says remember to brush your teeth :/

[parodeity]

that feels so cheap though you know
and like were censoring ourselves but like going
haha but its not REALLY a censor because we MEAN this thing
i always rolled my eyes @ that solution

[notyourutopian]

Elliecat Seconding the funny.
