So, I was going through all of the posts of the first 20 pages and I thought, "well this kinda sucks but I might try to adjust," when I went to the front page again I noticed something:

Stone's first post says it was made on the 29th at 10:17 AM but the first reply made by Xero was on the 30th at 10:23 AM.
How could a topic so important in possibly the most popular section go for over a whole day without someone replying to it. After Xero posted there was an explosion of comments which is what is expected. It also occurred to me that the times of the first posts, being on different days, ARE WITHIN MINUTES OF EACHOTHER. The only thing I can take form this is that the date of the first post was changed and moved back one day. But why would Stone, Jeff and all those other admins want to do that? Well, I couldn't really come up with a good reason until I read this:

I still don't get how people think this is some elaborate april fools day prank when it was made on March 29th...


So then I thought, maybe they changed the date to cover up that this was an April Fool's joke. By setting the date to the 29th, it would trick some people into believing this is legit.


tl;dr: Date on first post was changed, this is probably a joke.

I asked jeff about this; Apparently CRAZY JAY, stone, and Jeff kept it locked away in the batcave at this date, then moved here from what jeff told me.
The section and core mods were oblivious to it because our permissions didn't allow us to see the thread (Like how you guys can't see the batcave)/
Only admins where able to see it.

tl;dr the thread was secreted away from everyone whilst they planned this out.

well, I'll just say this: If this turns out to be true, then I expect the entire RHG community to die a painful death. there's no way people will make full length, full body fights on a regular basis. many can't even finish a stick fight to begin with.

and with that, I bring some sad news to you all. after talking it over with Nhaz, we have decided that Zetabrand will be disbanded. All of our current projects have been canceled, and we as a team have gone our separate ways.

Is it really pity if it's a judgmental view on someones points? Some people are not as excited as you for the change, and they are simply voicing their opinion. Who knows what the outcome will be? It could be for the better and the community be stronger, or it could fail and crash-and-burn, eventually returning to here. So before you "pity" people, take into account all perspectives. And have a nice day.


I see their views, but I've yet to see a point that I can actually consider good. That's one. Two, you seem to not notice that the system was started by stone, so he can do whatever he wishes with it. That's my second point. My third is that all the people against this seem to not care to even try the new system so much work is being put into.

So I will continue to pity their arrogance, ignorance, selfishness, and dim-witted attitudes, and I will in fact have a nice day.

I feel as though there will be so much less activity due to the fact that FB take so much more time to complete rhg take about a month now with this new fb rule it make take in the least 5 or 6 I feel like a FBRHG section would be a little more realistic either way Fluidanims is bound to lose so many members
