this prank is driving away at least one valuable member of the site.
Not just to say im valuable or anything, but yesterday morning when i saw all the seven reich member reference all around, i decided to not submit my april fool runs until the spam was removed (thanksfully it was removed shortly after)
By itself the prank wasnt so offending, its the heavy spam on forum that was obstructing all the fun (of the april fool day, not the staff prank)
Last year prank was incredibly smarter and more successfull, it feel like anytime nach lack creativity he will just speak of nazi or hittler... barelly a funny subject at all imo
(while i agree with warp overall that its a good parody subject, im not coming to this forum for this basicly, so it was a bit overkill)
edit: now i think we should move along, it isnt worth wasting our tasing time on this subject, but I appreciate the apology, thx for that.
edit2: i didnt meant "last" year but 2010 yeah blame my poor memory...

Wait what happened to Dacicus?

I think this is a bad turn for the site. Thus, I henceforth resign as publisher, encoder, etc. I'll delete my YT account and all of my archive.org uploads in the next few days. It's been fun, guys.

I've seen that post but it was posted on fool's day too. This can't be real, really!

Okay, now to make the circle go round: saying that "people who were offended by this are absurd and juvenile" is pretty dumb.

If there's anything positive to take here, mods, it's that all the silliness is confined to one topic now...
except in the April Fools submissions...

Did Dacicus end up deciding to leave? Last I talked to him was two days ago on IRC and he said he was "seriously considering" leaving.
I agree that he's a valuable member. He's always volunteering his time to help the site - publishing, encoding, making runs, and participating in discussions. It would be a shame to see him resign over this controversial issue.

I don't think that losing such important members because of someone's bad humour is permissible at all! We must find out if he was serious and do all we can to prevent his departure, if we was serious!

At least Dacicus only resigned, right? It could've been worse. =0
Everything is not bad comparing to anything worse. Compare to perfect, as we do here, and you could improve the subject.

Some time ago I did not care much this joke, I valued TASvideos as was. But if I'm not mistaken it was announced here the resigned of a editor of TAS, also I come to announce another resignation, mine.
I'm tired of everything that happens here, I was very excited trying to make movies first,I had try, but I never could. Also I remain in doubt what you are looking TAS videos. Speed or Fun? What prioritize first?
After all, I do not care. The rejection of my last movie was frustrating, it also served to steal it an idea. Nows that I may not recover the time lost here, bye everyone, it was an honor working with you.

Uh.....What does Nach's April Fools joke about Nazi's relate to your sonic submission?

It is not a mature action leave the site just because we rejected your movie.
And to answer the question: "Speed or Fun? What prioritize first?" Both. That is why we have TASes with speed/entertainment tradeoffs, playarounds. Even the TASes aiming for speed have entertainment on it.
Some moderator should split this 3 last posts. They are not related to this topic.
I dont really understand what you mean by "steal it an idea." So someone is trying to improve your TAS and you got mad?Not really mature. If I got mad when someone obsoleted my TASes, I would've left the site a really long time ago.

Normally i would say Yes, but thennI thought "its not the same hack" so ill stick with meh.
I see you are not understanding the point. I knew I would have offensive answers and do not think it isn't mature. I do not leave the site because that film was rejected, I leave because I got bored of it. I just created a movie of hack of Sonic 2 and I uploaded to YouTube, it's best that to wait for their approval here and that few people know it.
If you want, you can continue to threaten me more.
Please, Felipe, no one is threatening you. We just want to understand why you're leaving.
I don't understand what you mean when you say someone stole the idea for your "Perfect Bonus" Sonic 2 TAS. Is someone making a Perfect Bonus run of another Sonic game, and you think they took your idea?
Sorry, I think I exaggerate to say that. But none of that. I can not go more with this, TASvideos, ask for a level I can not reach and I have not motivations to do so. Also in the current movie of Sonic 2 run in Casino Night they use a strategy that I was used, but they said that was my idea, then it would be not "stealing an idea."
Well, I'm leaving because I can not go more. Maybe yes was something valuable, was worth being here and help somewhat. But now, bye.
