OMG THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE

APRIL FOOLS

Just a coincidence.. do you really think they would joke about something that serious? I mean.. 3 moderators are already out!! Does this look funny to you!?

The site needs money to work! The servers are not free! I think this a very good thing..

To tell you the truth, on a forum I frequent, the joke involved staffers (admins, mods, supermods) arguing and getting demoted and banned, and the forum eventually getting closed for a day.

Why on earth would CNet be interested in placing a bid for a site like this? I mean I understand it's got a large user base and everything but god, given how much of a mess they've made of Gamespot they can barely cope with what they've got, haven't they got enough to worry about without adding ours to the pile? and..... backup a sec, the testing area was closed?

*blinks*

I for one welcome our new overlords

Fuck, so it's finally happened. I was hoping they'd change their minds...

No offense to you guys who think this is a joke, but think about it logically members have quit, posts have been deleted, and the rumors have been swirling for months. I mean fuck, ShadowXP's posting rights were removed for leaking info about the buyout. Poor Shadow...

As I posted a few minutes ago, a similar joke happened on a forum I frequent.
