Now THAT is how you do an April Fools joke. Tell us something bad, then reveal it is a joke. Don't tell us something really good that ends up being a joke *ahem* R4.
I for one second that. I was so happy about the R4... I thought I was gonna own my friend with his SCOne...

But after looking at the facts i see this
1. Ad links to nowhere
2. Mod's names spell april if use first letters
3. not on Cnet's list of networks
4. April 1st

But!
if it is true, i will give it a week max and go somewhere else,

Hehe Gamespot where you can get banned for even mentioning R4, and then their owner would then go and "aquire" with one of the places where R4 is mentioned most on the net

lol, this is all a f***ing joke, right? Censorship? Removal of site sections? Nice April Fool's Day joke, because in Polynesia it's been April Fool's Day for a while now. Well, at least there are other scene sites out there if this turns out to be true. Wow.

It certainly better be an April Fool's day joke.

I don't believe for a moment that GBAtemp would be sold to these assholes...screw CNET and screw GameSpot. Rubbish sites, if you ask me.

Well, let's hope things doesn't change THAT much. A lot of people leaving, that is sad, but only the strongs will remain.

It's still in bad taste either way. Regardless of the situation. Claiming 4chan owns the site would've been hilarious, not this.

^ This!

Hell I'm STILL not sure if this is a joke or not, like I got really upset, then realized it was the 1st and was cool about it but now I'm not sure what to think anymore.
