It's not my fault.... You mods should've been keeping a better watch on things. Honestly, if this is how you're running the site, I might just leave. >.>

No, it isn't your fault at all! Not at all. It's okay! :)

I'm blaming @Tenyo or @LadySpark. Honestly, whoever thought it was a good idea to try and make me a mod was making a HUGE mistake.

I don't know what's actually going on here...

The mods do. I guess they're just unlucky to announce Nate's retirement on April Fool Day. It's natural for members to believe it's a prank, more so when there's a YouTube video in it, which shouldn't be there considering how serious the retirement is.

Well, I'll just believe the retirement is true. It's bad being skeptical over something sad. If it's a prank, it's a bad one too since it crosses the limit of it.

True... That Rick Roll is making me think it's a prank, but then I'm like "Wait, what if Nate is ACTUALLY LEAVING?" and I get all sad. :(

I am SO freaking confused right now.

And considering everyone can see the Staff forum, it's making me think I've been made a mod and broken everything. See? I'd be a terrible mod.

Or perhaps, if it's a prank, the said forum being made public is a part of it. Oh well.

I hope Nate's retirement is not the end of his time being here.

You....just read my mind. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, right?

Here's what happened, for those of you questioning the mod's integrity. ;)

About a week ago, the staff forums crashed and everything went poof. Nate warned us there might be some problems with the staff forum, and last night, there was another bug that made the staff forum visible for all.

Nobody was made a mod. It's just that the permissions on the staff forum that made them not blocked for regular members, like usual.

Though, it is rather interesting that only the staff member forum crashed and no other forum was affected.

*shrug* I guess it is "just a bug" that will "be fixed" shortly ;)
