DrMaxwell Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 What does it mean for the future of Canterlot.com? Will it just mean the loss of the image gallery, or will we need to find a new home? Is it in response to the 18+ section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star1228 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Or it could be in response to the April Fools? Please? Most likely not. all those laws and people exist, and if it is an April fools joke, im not laughing one bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker_Izing Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, that hoof print at the document don't look standard for a legal document, Literally, IS A HOOF! I use this to believe it's bogus, anyways, a risky trick, when using a genuine buffet's name...So, I am in the "not funny" train... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashell Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just heard about your troubles guys... I don't know why Hasbro is picking on YOU when there's so many MLP sites out there. Maybe cause of the name Canterlot?... I know they said the images but... maybe that's how they found this place and are using that as an excuse or something. Like they wanted to use canterlot.com for something and now they're having a hissy fit.I worry about the state of other pony forums and pony sites now... what will become of the fandom now?

DrMaxwell Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) If it is for april fools (which I forgot about completely), it is well done indeed, because Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a legit UK law ma-jigger.Julia Runnacles is also legit, shes VP of the UK hasbro legal dept.Please let this be a fake.

Winter Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm just going to throw this link out there http://www.freshfiel...ons/uk/offices/ and point out the difference between 1HS and 1HT and let everyone draw their own conclusions based on the address in the letter... If this is a joke, well played. Not funny, but well played... and leaving some a bit teary eyed. Expect the worst and hope for the best. Joke, please?

Ayashe Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm with Dashell though. Why us out of so many sites out there? It doesn't really make sense. Therefor, I'm certain it's to do with April Fools Day. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penumbra Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Of course it for April Foals day."The famous" Is too casual for a Law thingy that won an award in 2008.It only refers to them as a 'cartoon' despite the fact they are a franchise"Please confirm to me" despite the letter referred to itself as "we"Silly ponies.Just Artax being pranky.Ya know, that place is based in England and so is he.

weesh Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Honestly, I don't think my enjoyment of the site would go down appreciably if it were purged of all images, video and smileys. But for the sake of the peoples here that would be sad, I wouldn't mind if it were a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Glow Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Seriously is it an April Foals Day joke or not because if it is than it's a very bad joke. if not than it comes on the wrong day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnaloth Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I put my head on a joke, for instance, why would they attack this site, while youtube and other sites are overflowing in the pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I got caught, I'll admit. There are a few subtle things pointing that this is a prank... but I'll only breath easier once I get confirmation.I loves me a good April Fool's gag, and I got caught by this one. Very well done. The one suggestion I'd make to improve it would be to declare it an April Fool's joke at the end, so as not to leave folks scared - the letter should finish off with "This letter does not purport to be a complete statement of the facts or the law and is without prejudice to Hasbro's legal and equitable rights on this, the first of April, also known as April Fool's Day.'

Volt Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 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...
Mojo Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah, it's a very elaborate April Foal's Day prank.What gave it away is the fact that even in England, the post doesn't run on Sunday.And besides, were that letter genuine, this website would already be DOWN!Nice one, oh rules of Canterlot.com!Pinkie Pie would be proud!

PonyHooves Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 It looks so real... Except, that hoof print looks highly suspicious and it's April Fool's Day.Good prank. You really got me there for a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eureka Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Good one guys I said to myself earlier today "Oh, you know it's April Fools today. Don't trust anything"Then I went and trusted this for like... half a sec... o_o Ya got me :3Two of the big tells that gave it away to me, was that the site was up... and the announcement wasn't posted in the announcements as well. By putting it on the bottom left hand corner of the screen, those of us who never bother to read the announcement forum, would pretty much have to click this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
