Yes. That was an April Fools joke.

If you fell for it, you are a complete and utter fool. On the flipside, if you fell for it, you are simply asserting our massive amounts of skill.

No. The site was not taken over. And no you're not required to draw Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh. In fact, unless you're pretty good (like hakkai), I suggest avoiding it. It will not improve your artistic skills nearly as much as other things will.

And since it's over I would like to ask everyone to stop talking like complete and total idiots if you do not want to be banned. It was funny in the beginning, but then some of you got out of hand (imo). I will reiterate over the newest 2draw rule put into effect in December:

People who don't make an effort to type, spell, and write properly will start getting their comments deleted. Same goes for image descriptions.

There were a few moments there I was a bit worried... >_>


I think it was something davincipoppalag had said that did it.

Thank you Marcello. I nearly died trying to type like that. But it was good fun, thanks anyways.

Only thing is, never again use day-glo colors. It killed my eyes.
 
Shanghai (Apr 2, 2005)
It feels good to finally get the pokemon pictures out of my gallery *deletes them with glee*. I actually drew yugi and pikachu making out...
  icon
Kilala (Apr 2, 2005)
I feel like an idiot. Well, I am but you didn't have to bring it to my.... umm... GOD I need to go back to school!!! I agree with Nightmare... it did start to hurt my eyes too. ^^

Wolfgrl (Apr 2, 2005)
YES NO MORE PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND MORE GOOD GRAMMER!( actually suck at spelling ^^)
  icon
marcello (Apr 2, 2005)
aw redpanda, that one was hilarious
  icon
Kilala (Apr 2, 2005)
I try with spelling. I have a big vocabulary but I don't have good spelling so I don't use it much on the computer. I am working on it though. Why would you guys go to so much trouble just to piss us off. Even though it was so damn funny why?
 
Shanghai (Apr 2, 2005)
I did take a screen shot of it first though ;)
  icon
marcello (Apr 2, 2005)
deleted pictures can be restored, sometimes
  icon
TaCO (Apr 2, 2005)
Just draw It agian It's not like It would take you long.
  icon
Kilala (Apr 2, 2005)
Oh really? YOU HAVE BEEN LYING TO ME!!! Sorry... how do you do that? I thought deleted data was gone forever.
 
Shanghai (Apr 2, 2005)
Oh I was just saying I thought it was funny too, but really not something that has a place in my gallery
  icon
TaCO (edited Apr 2, 2005)
redpanda: You need to draw more.

why does It matter If you have It in your gallery????
All I have Is crapy pics in my gallery and I don't care.
I draw crap cause I love to draw crap.

Are you seriously doing this? Why? What the hell is the problem? I have got to know. Does it offend you so because your grammar is far better than theirs? Seriously? There are people who are rockin' artists, and they have no grammar\spelling knowledge (or they don't give a damn). Seriously. I need to know, Marcello. When I'm informed, then I can shut the hell up for you.

nekodesu (Apr 2, 2005)
haha!! Thank god the pinkness is gone and best of all...no more annoying pikachu/Yugioh banner!!!
And when you say spelling, does "lol",or "jk", or any abbreviations along those lines considered unacceptable?
  icon
MidnightRaven99 (Apr 2, 2005)
My gosh Marcello. Never do that again, but I am so glad 2Draw is normal again.
  icon
Hakkai (Apr 2, 2005)
I feel speshaul now, thank you. =DD

Acting like idiots and drawing pokemon/Yu Gi Oh was kinda fun. We should have another loosey goosey day like that.
  icon
Deformed (Apr 2, 2005)
HAHAHAHAHAAAH!! I almost fell for it. I was pretending to be... uh- mad...
  icon
nekodesu (Apr 2, 2005)
Bumface, who are you to call a "mroon" when you can't even spell the word correctly? What were you even trying to spell anyways? Maroon?
  icon
inatyrb (Apr 2, 2005)
Ha... I feel like a fool. I did fall for it slightly before I knew it was April fools day, but then just to be completely sure I went a checked things just to be positive this wasn't real. If it were real, i'm sure I would have cried! Seriously! I would! Well colors are back, grammer and spelling is back, and thank god there's no more lil 10 year old trying to run this place... ^^...

I thought it was a really good joke. It got my to crack up :D I actually liked the purple layout :3

Cordelia_Pink (edited Apr 2, 2005)
I knew it. I knew it!! See, I knew it was just too ridiculous to be true. Like, c'mon! lol OK so right now, we're going back down to serious business. Like, seriously.

Sometimes when I'm unsure of the correct spelling of a word, or if my grammar is alright, I have Microsoft Word open just in case. Good place to edit; you can always copy and paste it in here once it sounds fine.

ky: it's been beaten to death already[/b]

I don't want to know what the rules are. I want to know your reasoning behind it.
  icon
Anna (Apr 2, 2005)
Actually, several mods explained the logic behind the rule more thorougly throughout that thread. I noticed you brought up your point in that thread, so why bring it again? Just wondering.

There's a reason dictionary.com is one of the first bookmarks in my browser's bookmarks bar. I check my forum posting and IM conversations a lot with it.

friend (Apr 2, 2005)
OMG I WAS HOPING IT WAS A DREAM! lol.
  icon
Nyuusen (Apr 2, 2005)
... I doubt he means you have to type up your posts and copy and paste it into spell check for grammar and spelling. Just...be mindful about it. I'm guessing he's not going to kill someone for one typing 'eh' instead of 'he' once cause of a typo. I'm doing a lot of guessing.

Anyway...I think the joke made people act like asses and morons. I hate April Fools day.
 
Shanghai (Apr 2, 2005)
well regardless of if it matters in whatever situtation I'm in, I get annoyed at my own typos. So even if someone else doesn't care if I make a typo I still don't like them myself.
  icon
renire (Apr 3, 2005)
yeah Hakkai.....oh and what, may i ask, is wrong with spelling mistakes?
  icon
Anna (Apr 3, 2005)
Click on that link and read. Reading. It's good for you.

marcello (Apr 3, 2005)
http://www.answers.com/ better alternative to dictionary.com (no popups or obnoxious ads, plus a better design).
if you have firefox, bookmark http://www.answers.com/%s and edit the bookmark to give it a keyword (such as "ans"), then in the location box type that keyword and a word or phrase (such as "ans caligraphy" without the quotes) and it'll pull up the definition (or the spellcheck)

Baby_Shyanne (Apr 4, 2005)
Lol! I knew it was an April Fools joke lol! ::Sticks out her tounge at Marcello and blows a raspberry:: It takes alot to fool me lol. You're looking at a gal who wasn't believed one april fools day about a death in the family (actually happened about 14 years ago now heh)
  icon
MoonlitShadow (edited Jul 14, 2005)
Funny April Fools day joke. n.n

Also, I like this new rule. Now I can actually understand what people are trying to say. =D

Though, to add to the controversy, I believe that, as long as it's obvious they are at least making an effort to spell, type, and write properly, they should not be punished regardless of if they do not have perfect spelling or grammar, because grammar and spelling are actually pretty hard, and I swear the typo demon is out to get everyone. o.o ..My grammar and spelling may both be horrible, yet I am not so lazy as to abbreviate such already small words like you, are, see, ect.

Don't forget, there is an edit button... It's not like your comments are etched in stone, you can go back and fix them too.
Anyways, my post is late, it seems.. o.-;;

I didn't actually notice. But then I read it and nearly had a aneurysm. I hate people who refuse to spell right.
