Who would fell for that "bad" april joke. Lucky us there existed pages on the internet with "good" april jokes instead of the same lame old and drought up jokes :/ . Kudos to you though for filling up tons of pages with replies on that topic. Never ceases to amaze me how many stupid people this world has

I was worried that the C-Net takeover would hinder the shipping of my Temper Card, so thank God it was just a prank!

It was too obvious.. but a great idea indeed..

When the mods started to quit cause GBATemp was a sellout and the mods who stayed refused to say the reason, I knew that it was something to do with the day

I lol'd at some of the members trying to be smart-asses saying stuff like "It's a joke! See! The banner doesn't work" and "The site is not hosted at cnet! Look"

Hey, if you guys ever run out of money, just ask me to come here. i'll pay the fine if the other option is Cnet!

Hmm, wonder what the people at Cnet are thinking right now.

A lot of people over reacted. Even for those who didn't believe it over reacted. Surprisingly it got a lot of people. Anyways, happy April Fools.

Wow, I already thought about quitting for good ...

This prank made me realize how important Gbatemp is, not only for our latest game fix, but for everything else too like general, and music discussion. You really are doing a great job there, keep it up.

BTW: Yep, I would have missed everyone, including Bonemonkey ^^.

There was actually a follow up joke planned...but we thought we already got on enough people's nerves.
Shame too, it would've actually fooled everyone...oh well. =P

I didn't believe in a sellout, about seven years ago a site I frequented did the same thing, only less believable, they were a tech site and were sold to Vivid.

But you got me on the R4 kernel update 1.18, man was I excited reading that... shame on you, shame on you!
