LOL, I was reading this in the archives (time of reading: May 12, 2008), and got scared. Yes, reading this 2 month later scared me. T_T
castiboy (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 4/9/2008 10:50:53 AM
well i didn't have this problem with FF3b3, it had images zoomed, but not blurred. now FF3b4 and b5 get me blurred images even if i'm using the PJ zoom :/
theguy (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 4/9/2008 8:23:32 AM
the firefox zoom is hardly new, I've had it for about a year
Luna (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/7/2008 6:15:59 AM

castiboy (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 4/3/2008 2:06:54 PM
that actually already happens... with firefox's latest beta (it's in firefox's new zoom, which kill's PJ's zoom).oh snap! doomsday.
Bloo (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 4/2/2008 4:51:41 PM

Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/2/2008 2:17:57 PM
It was a stupid, mean, dull, not-mean-enough april fools. >:(
Lollige (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 4/2/2008 1:46:47 PM

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 4/2/2008 11:20:21 AM
Little did I know when posting this the irony it would bring.
cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 4/2/2008 9:39:31 AM
Just because I'm gullible and I missed it last year...
Dry Humor. Really dry humor.
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 4/1/2008 8:53:36 PM

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 4/1/2008 8:02:53 PM
all the pixels got jpg'd! your april fools scheme has gone too far jal. >:o
7even (Level 7 Assassin) at 4/1/2008 7:58:26 PM
Jal, your pirate ship will do very good to my portfolio once PJ is gone.
Also, couldn't let anyone have the 77th.
Acherhar (Level 5 Soldier) at 4/1/2008 5:34:35 PM
Cereal, you must be the most gullible person in the planet, of course this is not real -.-
And if all your posts are just an act, you got me :p
E: 74, what a bore.
cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 4/1/2008 5:32:53 PM
So this is legit...?Ack! I just need a straight answer from you jal...
Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/1/2008 4:30:17 PM
71 has a ring to it, especially since it rhymes with lots of fun.
MrMister (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/1/2008 3:32:25 PM
you posted this at 11:53 am... with 7 minutes left in april f00ls... x0r
Dennis (Level 7 Captain) at 4/1/2008 2:11:44 PM
Of course, NOW, everybody is still laughing and thinking that it was soooo lame but when the site is gone on Saturday, everybody will be crying, except for that one bug, who will be laughing his rear end off. Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/1/2008 2:06:58 PM
Lol guys it's a joke, calm down.MOMMY I WANTED TO BE TRICKED BAD LEIK. OMG JALONSO IS SUCH A LUooZAR.
Pandora (Level 2 Corporal) at 4/1/2008 1:36:35 PM
Honestly, the post seemed way too far-fetched to even be considered the truth. Soz, but epic phale. Dennis (Level 7 Captain) at 4/1/2008 1:13:49 PM
Commenting on an april fools joke in the most serious of all ways is in itself an april fools (counter)joke, damnit. It's called "dry humor". *sigh*
Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 4/1/2008 12:52:57 PM
and holy mother of fuck, this 1st april theme really makes my eyes bleed if I try reading comments
Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 4/1/2008 12:00:05 PM
as little efffort and plain and predictable this joke was, I find it FUCKING STUNNING that more than zero people fell for it inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 4/1/2008 11:23:12 AM
Nah, only an April fools joke... Damn you for getting all my hopes up for a second! Dennis (Level 7 Captain) at 4/1/2008 11:12:01 AM
Well, it's been a great time. So long and thanks for all the pixels.
FrankieSmileShow (Level 6 Manager) at 4/1/2008 10:25:15 AM
Would have been more believable without the "forever" part, it made the title silly. :(
Terley (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 4/1/2008 10:10:19 AM
Jesus christ for a minute there my heart sank, I was like 'what the hell is the world coming to?'.
We love you Jal.
Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) at 4/1/2008 10:07:17 AM
*I never liked PJ anyway* 
You fooled my until I saw one of the April Fool replies... 
ceddo (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 4/1/2008 8:29:05 AM
!! For 5 seconds, i thought I'd never have a perfect homepage ever again.PS: EVERYONE had better be thinking of purchasing Starcraft II when it comes out, because it will of course be the best strategy game in the history of mankind, taurenkind and otherkind.
Talos (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 4/1/2008 7:48:04 AM
You make it too obvious jal, especially with the Grim Reaper. More believable would be something crying and not saying manual AA is for n00bs. Shoulda said that the gallery would get flushed along with our points. Always next year.
kendi64 (Level 3 Private Eye) at 4/1/2008 7:43:59 AM
It gave me a scare for a moment until I remembered what day it is! *where is the b*tch-slap emote?*
Opacus - I love the link! I want to play WOW again now :)
A.B. (Level 8 Cannibal) at 4/1/2008 6:46:19 AM
You just did it because you would get 5 points for posting this joke. :'(
Tymon (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 4/1/2008 5:42:31 AM
Haha! First step of my evil plan - done! Now it's time for google.com! Buhahaha!
I love you jal.
theguy (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 4/1/2008 5:20:08 AM
*heart beat racing* that scared the crap out of me... until I found out it was just an april fools joke
Mad Bear (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/1/2008 5:17:33 AM
i have to admit you got me for like a minute or so.. yea.. yea....
Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 4/1/2008 4:05:37 AM
http://www.blizzard.com/us/Tauren marine in Starcraft II, with gameplay videos and tons of artwork. Watch and learn Jal! :P
Bengoshia (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/1/2008 3:58:39 AM
You could've at least made a different front page.... or something, you put like no effort into it.
Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 4/1/2008 3:43:30 AM
Now THIS http://www.wow-europe.com/wrath/features/bard/bardclass.xmlIs an april's fools joke. hahahaha
Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 4/1/2008 2:12:54 AM
I laugh in the faces of all who believed this. Come on, we all know Jal is a lying son of a bitch :P
Setzer (Level 8 Cannibal) at 4/1/2008 1:59:36 AM
something better to do would've been make the [-] [+] zoom tool blur the image as it zoomed, or anything more original than this T_T 
leel (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 4/1/2008 1:35:30 AM
AHA ciao, losers! *rides off on a kickass harley with my bitches in back, splattering mud in all ya'll's faces*
madPXL (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 4/1/2008 1:32:40 AM
yeah, it's the time to get your photoshop tools and create beautiful gradients and textures !!! I'm going to stop pixeling. 3D and toshop is better !!!and for pixeljoint, this website is "has been" :D
Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 4/1/2008 12:20:00 AM
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO I've been waiting for the website to close forever
Feron (Level 5 Sniper) at 4/1/2008 12:13:23 AM
I swear a post of this type gets put up every year, and a couple of people always believe them!
Bloo (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/31/2008 11:30:36 PM
hey..... is this a joke or not??? I mean..... I'm finally gonna level up on tuesday, then PJ will be closed down forever??? What, is it April Fools already??? 
...... *sigh*..... I am definitely going to save my favorite pieces of work here..... ....... Good bye guys! :( DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/31/2008 11:08:47 PM
woo closing party at jal's house trash the place and then pass out on his couch
cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 3/31/2008 8:54:07 PM
I am so confused!!! 
Is PJ Leaving or isn't it?
This post IS filed under "Just for fun" but is that evidence enough...?
bunnyRAGE (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/31/2008 8:49:58 PM
If this were not a joke, I would totally make a new pixel website.But it is :D
7even (Level 7 Assassin) at 3/31/2008 8:40:03 PM
If the title were not on Caps, I'd give it a chance 8D
Like "PixelJoint is closing. Forever."
So cold, so cruel...
l3m0n5 (Level 4 Deputy) at 3/31/2008 8:34:08 PM
Oh my gooshness! NOOOOOO! MY WIPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But its not April 1st yet technically......go eat some mangos man.
Saboteur (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 3/31/2008 8:29:13 PM
D'aww. Gotta change "weekly challenge countdown" to "Pixeljoint doomsday countdown" I guess :( Arbor (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/31/2008 8:03:02 PM
Oh snap. What have I been doing, wasting my time learning how to manual AA? Wasting my time as an artist?!
Pixeljoint, you have shown me the light. I think I shall quit as an artist and become an opera singer. ...tomorrow.
cerealkiller54 (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 3/31/2008 8:00:41 PM
Do my eyes decieve me!?
Plz say this is a sick joke!!!
