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

Someone had to take one for the team.

Who knows? Maybe it IS an April Fool's joke. One that's been on-going since February. That sounds a little more optimistic. If you're the optimistic type, anyway.

im not
and i somehow doubt a bunch of people making a free app that have so far not stolen any credit card information (to my knowledge) could afford to keep this up as long as they have, just to yell ITS A PRANK BRO and jump out from behind a wall

besides
judging from that proposal video
their staff have...
eclectic tastes
im sure an april fools joke from them would be weirder

[antagonize]

"Eclectic." Dictionaries everywhere are offended by this description. Try bug duck crazy. Who has the power to bend time and space and decides to terrorize us to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody instead?

[notbunaga]

the real question is who has the ability to do all of this but still can't code an instant messenger app

[antagonize]

Assuming they didn't code a bad instant messenger app on purpose. Wouldn't put it past them.

[notbunaga]

okay i could believe all the random Nonsense happening because they like
are testing the waters changing reality of all things
if this is all because theyre only begun whatever theyre trying to do

but why would they code a bad app on purpose

[antagonize]

Because they're sadists and find our reactions hilarious? Because watching us complain is better than any prime time reality television? The options are there.

hm

i guess the second one's plausible
everyone around here seems to have trouble keeping themselves in check
makes me wonder if ignoring it would do anything
