April Fool's Update

MOM DAD PLEASE DON'T FIGHT

 

[brownboy102]

has there ever been a better time

 

[Chicha]

Admin dudes and dudette, I totally knew something like this would happen at some point, so I prepared a contingency plan months ago-- I got your backs!!

here you go-- the new default collectibles display for every member of the Bell Tree Forums:

Once the membership receives these, they won't even care about the vanished collectibles and youThunder won't have to spend a gazillion hours re-creating everything!! problem solved, forum fixed, you're heroes again!!
I request only one small favor in return-- a pink Kirby egg this Easter...

omg, of course you'd be the one to come through with the weird doll XD

I'm probably too trusting, but somehow this doesn't feel like this was a prank. everything I write from here on in is assuming this is real.

I'm here, looking at my ruined collectibles, thinking of the time I spent collecting them and the wonderful people I bought/traded with, and all the bells I was saving in collectible form to accrue interest, and I'm not worried about the collectibles at all. I'm worried about the site as a whole.

I feel that, if this is true, then TBT is in shambles. I would like to point out that the forum time is no longer April 1st. Something about this just doesn't feel right, and it worries me that this site might be crumbling as we speak. Justin openly cussing out Jeremy just adds to my apprehension.

When I think about the year I've spent on this forum and the wonderful people I've met, I realize how upset I would be if this forum vanished. I've met so many lovely people, I could never mention them all, but here's a few that come to mind: Licorice, Pandapples, The Pennifer, LambdaDelta, Bone Baby/Petey Pirhana, King Dorado, Xanarcah, kirbystarship, and so many others. Every one of you guys matters to me and I love the fact that we have an open forum to interact with and communicate with. I love every single one of you guys, even some of you that I've disagreed with in the past. being an introvert in a pretty remote county, I don't have a lot of friends. And this forum has injected my life with such a blissful camaraderie that I hope it survives for years to come.

If this is actually a prank after all, I'm going to look like a fool. but that's a chance I'm willing to take. I needed to get that off my chest. there's not one member on this site that I've met that I don't care about.

 

[seliph]

I can't tell if Jubs swearing makes me think it's a joke more or if it just upsets me

 

[LambdaDelta]

idea: people with fruit collectibles get the choice to upgrade to perfect fruits if they so wish, to make up for this **** up

 

[Justin]

Justin, please. You're taking things way too far and it's not fair that you're acting like you've never had a bad idea or made a mistake at any point in your life. All of us have worked hard on this forum and if I would have known for a SECOND things would end up like this I OBVIOUSLY wouldn't have suggested anything relating to screwing with the collectibles. I already feel bad enough and throwing me under the bus in public is only making me feel worse, not to mention it doesn't help the situation at all.

Can you please reply to my Kiks or talk to me in Discord instead of going about things like this? I already apologized and don't know what more I can do here.

Okay fine I've had bad ideas before, sure I've covered the entire forum in Shrek imagery before and I was that ******* who thought it would be a good idea to start an Easter event (what a mistake), but I've never ****ed up people's collectibles. You guys didn't think that maybe replacing everyone's items with fleas could cause some problems later? You just don't mess with this stuff, it's simply irresponsible when we have everyone depending on us. There's a time for jokes and this went too far. I hope the users who spent years of their lives working hard to earn their collectibles and taking time away from THEIR FAMILIES to spend it on TBT instead can manage to forgive you someday.

I didn't do **** man. It's not my fault.

Quite frankly, this is all Oblivia and Jeremy's fault. I thought having some fleas raining down the forum would be funny sure, but ****ing with people's hard-earned collectibles for a silly prank seemed way too dangerous. I warned them not to do it in case we ****ed something up like this, but they did it anyway and here we are now. :| I wouldn't normally make a post like this, team spirit, professionalism and everything, but I can't make myself stay silent about this. Look, I get mistakes happen sometimes, but what a colossal ****-up guys. What if we can't fix everything and some people loose their items forever? I've been on this site for over a decade and half of that working on the Shop and collectibles of the forum.

I'm fine with anything you do on site as long as I have my apples, my birthstones (in the order of September to August), my tulips, and all the add-ons (including the avatar height extension and not including the group add-on). I don't care about the other collectibles I own.

And I don't care who's fault it is. What you did wrong was that you threw Oblivia and Jeremy under a bus. That's all you did that I don't approve of. But if you want to know who I blame for the damage towards our collectibles, it's the fleas fault. Not yours, not Jeremy's, not Oblivia's, not any staff member. It's the fleas. They ruined the site.

lesson: don't put pixels above family

 

[seliph]

and taking time away from THEIR FAMILIES to spend it on TBT instead can manage to forgive you someday.

Ok issa joke

 

[Aquari]

[oath2order]

taking time away from THEIR FAMILIES to spend it on TBT instead can manage to forgive you someday.

Okay yeah this line just seals the deal. Way too over the top, the joke's over now.

 

[toadsworthy]

my collectibles made me a somebody.... and now i'm nothing

 

[Aronthaer]

I'm not sure if this is for real or not at the moment, but I think it's disrespectful to keep calling it a joke if it actually isn't. That would just make the mods feel even worse

 

[Alolan_Apples]

But you still have your paper toads.

[tybalt_cake]

Well played fleas *clap*

I vaguely remember a copypasta making fun of the overdramatic collectible hoarding crowd from KarlaKGB that was something along the lines about "i can't do these events for collectibles what about my family" or something like that.
