I remember the one time I pulled an April Fool's joke on my Sylvanian Families forums. It consisted mainly of changing the title header to something involving the Drive-Thru Whale and backwards text. This...this blows the doors off that. So how'd you pull off the find-and-replace job? The forum chat filter, I presume? (You know, that sort of tinkering has spawned Internet memes...) Just so you know, it seems to have broken my sig by replacing part of the image URL. At least my sig text is unaffected...^_^; EDIT: Oh...oh crap. Oh holy crap. I hope you haven't inadvertently permanently altered every single message, because I just now had to edit "b-a-n-n-e-r" in my message and it was still the altered version in the edit pane. ;

Haha! Sorry about that! I had way too much fun yesterday night, adding stuff to the censored words list. If you try to mention a certain young rabbit lady, her name will be replaced, and so will every word containing that name! I've completely defiled my own board, hopefully I'll be able to turn it back to normal tomorrow! (apart from the words I only changed images and colors, but saved the original settings) But for now, enjoy checking out the forums and see how posts have changed!

I don't like this joke. It confuses people who used google.com to find informations about MT.

Don't worry, we'll be back to normal in a couple of hours... hopefully.

In memorial, this was what the site looked like if you visited it on April 1st 2012. Definitely a spur of the moment, I hadn't planned on doing anything like this, and there were definitely better things I could have spent my time on, but I just couldn't help myself. I love how it kind of had a tacky late 90s website-feel colorwise. All instances of Maple Town and Palm Town were replaced with Busytown, and many characters' names were changed into ones belonging to Richard Scarry characters. Some got their usernames altered in the process, and many links were messed up. I'm such a rascal!

Again, more effort than I would've put into an April Fools' Joke, and all the better for it. I'll have to figure out something suitable for my Sylvanian Families forums next year. Maybe some flavor of Shin Megami Tensei theme? :3
I think you got it spot-on with the color scheme - a bit alarming, that red-and-yellow. XD
