After the maintenance of the last three days, we have determined that the cost of running the server is too expensive to continue for much longer. We will be closing down the site on April 27, 2011, which is when the next bill will be due. At this time, we will be moving to a new server, which will have much fewer features, with some important ones removed, such as MySQL and PHP. This will affect (and disable) Victory Road, VictoryBattles, the Pokékaki, all dynamic pages on Floatzel.net, Victorydex, and VRIM.

In addition, all hosted sites that require these resources will have to move to a new host.

The domain name, victoryroad.net, will be sold to a third party and may be used for different purposes.

Sorry, everyone, and thank you very much for your time spent with us at Victory Road.

Cat, you so funny.
Happy first, everyone!

Way to ruin it, Vel.

Yawn. I was hoping for a more creative April Fools day thingymabob.

...I mean, think about it:

XKCD: 3D Comics (in, at least partial, dedication to the 3DS)

OMGBuntu: Terminal Crash

Youtube: 1911 Video

Google: ...Still kinda dry at the moment, though this one is kinda amusing.

Daw...

Well I just wanna say you guys made this forum really enjoyable for me (and I'm pretty sure everyone else) and I'm glad you made this experience for me.

But I'm treating it like it's the last forum you'll make

we had a much funnier one but cat was being lazy.

he was making the ultimate funny with greenman.

Way to totally ruin April Fools. Don't shut the forums down! D:

This... is not exactly what I had in mind. I'm going to miss Victory Road. =[

*plays Taps* May she rest in peace, she deserves it.

Hm.....well, let's just say that I was initially quite surprised by this revelation, but am no longer for reasons I won't discuss for other reasons

The first thing I checked to day on my calender was: April, 1st. Try again next time, Cat. xD

this is the least convincing thing ever

I'm gonna miss the forums, and all the wonderful people here... ;-;

first i was like D:

but then i was like lololol

Wow, I got fooled good until I saw the other posts and remembered it was April 1st! Nice one Cat!

Riiight.

Not "Royal Ruby" and "Sterling Sapphire" this year, Cat?

(IMO, that [Ruby/Saph Remake] would have worked better this year)

When I first saw the thread title, my eyes opened wide and then I was like, oh wait. It's April Fool's day. Nice try, Kitty. :3

I'll take over the monthly bill

Without this thread, I wouldn't have known it was April Fools. :v

.....This was the best you could come up with Cat? I am disappoint. Throughout the year you think of all these funny things that would be good for April 1st, but you default to the thing half the websites use.

Wikipedia's April Fool's Day jokes were funnier than this.

Aw... I guess it's time to say goodbyes then. And on the 27th no less. I thought I heard that's when Royal Ruby and Sterling Sapphire were coming out... What a sad day this is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D:

MY LIFE IN RUINED ;~;

cool tags

Nooooooooooooo! This can't be happening. Wait a minute *checks calendar* Nice try Cat!

Oh jeez, I thought this was true, until I read the other posts. That was SO not funny!

... Okay, I'm smiling about it now, but, still.

At first I was


Then I was


And then I got attacked by the

At first I was


Then I was

Well the news isn't great, but I've been looking for a reason to spend more time on the Smogon forums, so I guess this is a blessing in disguise...?

My "Will you go to prom with me APRIL FOOLS" joke I made earlier today was better than this crap.

/april1st

Don't hate. I agree that it is simple, but at least he did something. Maybe he was too busy to code up something really cool. The only prank I've done today was to wrap someone's mouse in clear plastic, so its better than I've come up with today.

g-chuckhlch*


(*Cat never do that again you almost gave me a heart attack I may not be able to physically speak for months)

-plays the worlds smallest violen-rip the fourm

hey guys maybe if we hold F5 the problem will solve itself

The thought the site close shocks me. More shocking then when the cake got stolen.

And then I got over it in a min- Hey look, there's a sandwich!

WHEW! You almost got me there! God dang it, April fools!

Good one, Kitteh...

I thought this was serious until about half an hour until I FINALLY GOT THE PAGE TO LOAD ON VR (it kinda only worked on Floatzel.net for a while), when I realized it was April Fools' Day. Did you know you hardly ever notice holidays when on vacation?

Also, April 27th is when I'll have been on VR for about 11 months.

...Wow, I've been on VR that long?

Happy April Fools day!

I bought VR and Floatzel.net from Cat333Pokemon so I am now you're new owner and admin.

But yeah, I just wanted to have fun is all. I guess Jad took it offensive when I said that.

JAD doesn't take things offensively, offensive things take JAD offensively.

I'm trying my best Jad but it doesn't look nothing like that.

It appears I am too late to this topic, for it is now April 2nd! Now we only have 25 days left! I'm going to make every second count!

Well we still have two more hours if we're going by official forum time.

Why so serious?

And cause PST peeps are awesome~<33333

Yeah, April 1st is no longer there. For all those who got fooled, then it is only a joke. No worries, Victory Road is going to stay.
