Death of The Mudkip

Published:

Description

Just my way of commemorating today's April Fools Joke, ...
supposingly perpetuated by DA themselves.

For those that got here after the big joke:

A few hours ago, ... I came on DA to check my messages,
... and found my Avatar changed to this weird, little anima-
ting blue Pokemon thing with text that read,

"So, i herd you liek Mudkips??" Exactly like that.

So, quite annoyed, I go to change it, and then, I find that
that Browse option and file name field is gone, and there is
this flashing blue text that reads:

"u dont liek mudkips?"

Ugh. Well then, like many others, I thought my account
had been hacked, and was about to change my password,
when I saw that all the other Avatars on my page were
all different.

So, I got the impression that, ... maybe, ... this was not an isolated incident, ... and decided to see if others were
also affected by this nonsense.

And so, then, ... I see that EVERYONE seems to have the same issue. But then, I read a few, and it seems that
the entire thing was a big joke. And apparently, by DA.

So, okay. Big April Fools Joke. Okay, haha, I see the humor, and I guess that it is a little funny, ... but ... And, yeah, I know, some folk will think I'm being a killjoy, but ...

DA has a great number of system problems that do not seem to be getting fixed or even addressed. And now, ...
they come on with this stupid, immature stunt that was obviously fashioned to look like some uneducated trouble-
maker that couldn't spell was causing general chaos.

That shows quite a lack of professionalism, DA. Instead of wasting your time with pranks that look like your site has
even worse problems (and could become bug behavior at a later date), you could be trying to fix the problems that your system is infested with. Like the folder issues or getting the Maintenance error screen 90% of the time when you try to edit something. WTF, DA.

Instead, here you are, wasting time and resources, on childish nonsense like this.

Quite frankly, if you wanted to play a prank, you could have thought of a better way. ... Like some funny message
in all of our in-boxes, put in such a way that would clearly tell all of us that it was just you guys, being funny.

Seriously, there was no excuse for getting everyone mad.

My Description for all my Anti-Mudkip Faves:

"Way to go, DA, pissing everyone off for a joke. Heard you had to end it too early. Bet your Help Desk got flooded, and you are always asking us not to do that.

WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK WOULD HAPPEN??? You brought this on -- yourselves, ... DA. Stop playing around, ...
you guys, ... especially with immature pranks, and work on what you really need to do!

DA, ... you owe us all an apology. And you no longer have a right to ask us not to flood your precious Help Desk with a lot of request."
