Doc Hoof MD Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 This is bad news indeed!!!! Well, it was nice knowing you all.That notice scared the life out of me Then I thought "Wait a minute. I have seen this done somewhere before." Then I looked at the calendar and had a nice long laugh. A pet forum I used to visit did THE EXACT SAME THING last year. Different company. Well played indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyCharm Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 This is more worrying to me than Anonymous' threat to take down the internet today. Then again I don't take them seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Oh come on guys, you knew you were supposed to play along! Sillies, ruining all the fun >.> Good job, all you pranksters trying to prove it was true, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie would be proud, Canterlot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleteaccountpls Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Clever. Not like they could do anything even if this was real, I'm fairly certain everything under this site is protected under Fair Use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junydabrony Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 What? i REALLY hope this is an april fools joke, but it seems Equestria Daily is doing the same thing.. their site banner has been changed too! I'm getting a bit worried now D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

za909 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, looks like I made a new topic for this before noticing this one...but yeah, this is a horrible joke, and you should be banished and thrown into prison at the place you were banished to...

Volt Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, looks like I made a new topic for this before noticing this one...but yeah, this is a horrible joke, and you should be banished and thrown into prison at the place you were banished to...Sure it's AF day. But by saying it's in bad taste... ...you get fooled automatically Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Cakes Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I find it hilarious :'lI woke up this morning, jumped onto the computer and looked through all the websites I frequent in hopes of things like take down notices and troll face guys running around XD so far Canterlot is the only website that did anything and I was so disappointed at the lack of fooledness until I came here D: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I saw it and rolled my eyes, I literally was wondering if the site was even going to load today or if there would be a stupid splash about The staff deciding to form a mariachi band and quit MLP... (THAT kind of announcement is so redulous I would have laughed)I will admit, nice forgery of the document though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 For the people that were scared out of it's 'legitimacy', why would administration show us the document? If the document was real, I don't think they would have just shared it with us to allow us to freak out, unless of course its a joke. A true C&D would be more formal and introduced. A popup message that kept me from browsing the forum would have been much more elaborate and scary. But at that point all of canterlot would go up in flames. Happy April Fools, ponies.

Rosewind Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think the real joke is I can't figure out how to get rid of the announcement on my screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think the real joke is I can't figure out how to get rid of the announcement on my screen.I tried using Adblock, now I have a kitty in the corner of my screen... though it's less distracting and more calming than the fake takedown notice...

PixieSunBelle Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 So there is no way to make it go away?It really makes the website impossible to view.....Edit: I clicked block element and now its kind of minimized. Everyone, install some sort of adblock, right-click on it and choose block ad or block element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewind Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm running adblock plus and noscript, and all I can do is globally ban all canterlot images (not good) -- I can block avatars though! (Usually annoying animated avatars with quickly flashing anything get axed.)It's a clever joke, but it's a pain in the flank as far as making browsing site a nuisance since you can't get rid of it through normal board functionality.
