Just for the record, from observing the people from Apolyton at OT, I would rather not be in the same site as them
Apolyton OT doesn't want to be the same site as you, either, for similar reasons. The panic in CFC is a critical example of why Apolytoners don't want to join.

Well, you can't really trust CFC anymore is this is a joke.
And why not? This is April Fools day. Out of all the days they could have picked in the week, they picked this day. As I said before, if this isn't a joke - stop panicking and wait until later tommarow.

BTW, Bill, all the 'poly jokes are 'poly related, nothing to do with CFC.
Doesn't matter - this is as much of an Apolyton prank as it is CFC - if not moreso Apolyton, given the people who were involved. What it did do was excellent - it gave an actual empirical explanation for why people like CFC more than Apolyton by the outrage that had resulted. Apparently people really really really hate the colors in Apolyton. :p

Two mods confirmed the truth of it all to me via pm. Maybe they are just spooffing me, but I know them well enough that I don't really think so.
Knowing people well enough doesn't really mean much here. It's quite possible that they are in it too - most likely, more than anything, including the moderators who quit. So don't get your hopes up for a confirmation through them.

Apolyton never really did seem to have much of an active site. I participated in the "Tough Times" NES in 2004 and it was the only thread in the forum
Eh, Apolyton had Story Threads, a concept that predates NESes, but could probably be considered a precursor to it. I remember I was banned from them because I sucked so much at it (probably why I'm afraid to join NESes now).
 
If they just told everyone via PM that it wasn't a joke, theyd ruin it. I'm sure their PM boxes are brimming with so many messages, they have some sort of generic "yeah its real" letter.
Believe what you will. I'm convinced.

And Alex, no one told me just to go along with it. And I do believe they told me the truth. :(
 
i seriously believe that it is an april fools joke.

end of story.

back up stuff JiC, if you so choose. I, on the other hand, shall be waiting for the "APRIL FOOLS!!!!" that quite probably will come by tomorrow morning.
 
Well, from my point of view bird, whatever you say right now could be just going along with it :(

And please Bill, there's plenty of time to panic. If this isn't an April Fools joke, people would have tons of time in the weeks before the merge. :p You also make it sound like Civfanatics want to ah... "merge" in an unequal union with Apolyton ;)

I don't know when you registerd at 'Poly, but I've been there on and off since 2001, and it certainly was a great deal more active then than now. I don't know where you got the impression it was never active, but if you registered there in 2004 like you did here I can understand why you think it hasn't been active since then. Apolyton's golden days were with Civ2 and the list for Civ3; it's been somewhat downhill since about 2004.

I suspect CFCers would probably only accept it if we were annexing Apolyton. :p

Of course there's plenty of time to panic - after today. If the merge does happen, it's going to happen gradually (as the mods and admins are saying) - nothing is going to be gone when the day's over. At the same time, if it is April Fools, by not panicking you'll just make yourself look not like a fool. But all signs are leading to it being April Fools - the antics that have resulted today prove it.

As well, I'm not saying that CFC *wants* to merge with Apolyton - just that if it actually was a merge (the chance of that happening being roughly nil) it wouldn't be as bad as it is currently portrayed.

Interesting to note how many non-NESers found their way here... do any of you intend on staying ?
MjM sent me. I'm too cool for NESes.
 
NESes are the epitome of cool. You should join some.

I hate April Fool's. It's my least favourite day of the year, and pranks like this are why.
 
I'm not buying it. The mod-drama aspect at CDC is just too funny to be real, and all mod attempts to keep up the ruse (that I've seen) have been pretty unconvincing.

I could be wrong, though.

Either way, I certainly enjoyed the way OT degenerated into utter chaos this afternoon. Most entertaining, though I can imagine it would get old quickly.

EDIT: Oh, and best post ever.
 
Indeed, and for the record, Mjm got banned, but only for one day. How strange.... ;)

like my account being hacked 2 days before the civjunction domain was registered? :mischief:

in all honesty it doubt it has anything to do with it, but it is an odd coincidence :lol:
 
"he"?

The most important thing is that people continue on with what they're doing. Especially the moderators who should be updating instead of worrying. There are valuable hours wasted in the worrying.

We'll know tomorrow for sure, whether or not it's a joke. Until we know definitely, it's useless to panic and worry. Relax and continue on updating!
 
good point

we won't need to worry about saving anything until later, since we supposedly have a month to pull ourselves together

who knows, maybe CJ might actually be semi-appealing by then (doubt it though)
