[news]

Over the past few months, we've been working hard to respond to all of your requests from the past year or two regarding what you want out of a social networking and blogging site. With that in mind, beginning tomorrow you will have the opportunity to opt-in to the beta test for our new Friends Page format. We'd like you to try it out and let us

We consulted with a cutting-edge market research firm and concluded that no one really wants to read more than 140 characters about what their friends are doing.

Says you. Personally, I dislike having to click a damn cut if I want to read something. If I have to wait for the site to reload up, it's not worth my effort.

& you're just making yourself look like a bigger ass for pointing it out.

(insert gif or something, you know?) the internet is full of sass all the time. its april fools day, more confetti plz.

[jeunelis]

psst. that's because you ARE.

[thenewmoon]

good one ned, maybe you should learn how to be polite on the internet.

[jeunelis]

Maybe. But then what would the fun in that?

[thenewmoon]

yeah, that's probably right. save the politeness for work & grandpas. take it easy pal.

[jeunelis]

WHY SO SRS.

I spend my day being polite to morons who don't know their ass from their head. I'm sorry that you can't wrap your head around that concept that it's NOT SERIOUS, IT'S A JOKE, AND GET OVER IT.

That's on you. Not me.

i meant "take it easy" in the sense of "have a good one" which was a light attempt of geniality, ya know? i spend my days being polite to the same morons probably.
if you read what i last said and consider a lighthearted tone you'll understand i get it / got it / grate it.

[jeunelis]

Haha. Sorry man. Having a bad day.

[thenewmoon]

you know, like grandpas?

[jeunelis]

Maybe we can include me on the butthurt list.

Yeah, except I should probably point out that at one point, banner ads on LJ was considered to be an April Fool's joke. Bear in mind that back then it *was* obviously a joke that LJ would ever have banner ads, and it had been one of the fears surrounding the 6A sale, which is why it was played.

...but, well, we all know how that ended up, and which company was the one to actually implement banner ads, don't we?

(not butthurt here; I got the joke. But I wanted to point out that regardless of whether it's obvious or not, nobody on LJ who was around at the time is going to completely trust LJ's April Fools jokes.)

Seriously, the butt hurt in this post is AMAZING. For one I am on LJ side, and I have come to realize how ANNOYING I was. FUCK.
