Well, I'm sorry you feel this way and I apologize if you are upset about the joke. But I hope you know that we did not have any evil intensions when we made this april fools joke. Personally, I prefer april fools jokes that people can just laugh at. I try to avoid making april fools jokes that are meant to just be cruel and offend people. I really don't see what was so bad about pretending to make Insanity Fools an admin, however. But like I said, the joke was not made with mean spirits or with evil intensions. It was simply meant to be an april fools gag and was meant to be light hearted. We did not do this joke to be cruel, so if you are upset because of the joke, all I can do is give you my apologies.-jay

Looks like I completely missed this...

Well, I thought it was very funny, and I don't care if people think my sense of humour is sadistic... because quite frankly, it is.

Hmm. I don't believe you. Let us consult Websters here:

Main Entry: sa·dism
Pronunciation: 'sA-"di-z&m, 'sa-
Function: noun
Etymology: International Scientific Vocabulary, from Marquis de Sade
1 : a sexual perversion in which gratification is obtained by the infliction of physical or mental pain on others (as on a love object) -- compare MASOCHISM

Sorry, but I derived no sexual pleasure and inflicted no pain. Let's save the fiction for works of fiction, Joy. Wait a minute, an April fool's joke IS a work of fiction! Why you sadistic little.....ooohh......ahhhhhh.....YESSSSSSSSSS.

It was good for me, too.

Actually, you did inflict pain. Some people believed your lie, and reacted accordingly. How is that funny?

?! O,O
This is all kinds of extreme. It was a joke. And a small joke too, not a big joke. It was confined to an internet message board, and wasn't directed specifically at anyone.

How the heck did we end up at defining sadism and talk of inflicting pain?!

I caused no pain. If you are in pain, it's due to some internal problem of your own.

The fact that you're still crying about it is hilarious to me.

Are you sure you want to say that, dAN?

Ok...let's just drop this now...

Maybe next year we should do something really crazy and insulting. Like claim that I've died. Or that SRD died. Or say that SRD is going to change the name of his next book to "Fatal Reverend" and turn the series into a Christian novel. Heh. But seriously, everyone lighten up already.-jay

Consider it dropped.

Indeed. Water under the bridge everyone.

Don't you dare!

I used to be a member of a forum where one of the admins did die, in a car crash. Very sad.

err... how did you find out?

I'd just like to say that because of this joke I have quit college and now sell lucky socks on the street. If the sock business falls through, I intend to play Dungeons and Dragons at the local comic book shop. I hope everyone sheds tears of sorrow for me. I will never be the same, thanks to Jay's "joke".

Post by **dANdeLION** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 8:12 pm

I dropped it, why can't anybody see that?

Spoiler

Oops, I dropped it again!

Because there were two admins. And a whole section was created called "Memories of Sean".
