I'm assuming it was a joke, or else the rest of the site would be down right?

The servers won't kill his site as soon as he dies or anything, it's still possible.

Please don't joke about your life, Tohno, I actually look up to you, you are a good person. I have had nothing but good interactions with you. Please don't do this.

>>14160
if he was gonna lock everything down and kill himself you'd think he would take the whole site and not just the front page

R.I.P

Even assuming it's an April Fool's joke, I hope it doesn't reflect some real feelings he has, with the bit about being made fun of when posting without his tripcode.

That aside, the fake ads are hilarious.

Does someone know whether Robert Studebaker is his real name?

The ultimate April Fool's joke? Make an over the top reference to killing yourself. Nobody believes it. Actually kill yourself.

Hopefully not.

>>14165
it's not

Regardless of what is going on, I find it really annoying not being able to access to the proper home page.

So, what did I miss?

No, honestly, care to fill me in? I gather Tohno made some comment abotu killing himself but that's pretty vague.

>>14180
He went on the IRC, got pissed for apparently no reason, then changed the front page to a rant about how we make fun of him on the IRC and he's done, with a picture of his desk with a gun, a single bullet, a note, and a mousepad of Minagi. A lot of us took it seriously on the IRC, I lost some sleep on it.

Tohno, I will let it slide this time, but you seriously had me worried...

It brought in a lot of people who otherwise left, made everyone shit themselves and actually give a fuck.

Tohno is brilliant for this, he really is

I went to bed early and missed the whole ordeal, but I kept my IRC client open as I always do. Just read through the logs from last night, and by Miku's long teal twintails what a fucking mess. I'll leave it at that.

Tohno jokes about killing himself all the time, so I'm not suprised he pulled this stunt on April Fools day. However, I can understand why a few folks were concerned. I might've been too if I had seen it.

This is why we should have phoned the cops just to be funny.

That was a really, really tasteless joke.

I was seriously concerned about him.

>>14187
Are you surprised? Tohno seems to be totally haywire, look at the way he posts in misogyny threads etc.

Sorry, I thought it would be funny.
I think the best April fools jokes are the ones which are convincing, having you wonder weather or not they are real.

But I also didn't expect a photoshopped image like that to fool many people.

>>14192
It was a very good photoshop

>>14193
Not really, the quality was just too shitty to tell properly. And anyways doesn't every household in the US have a gun?

>>14192

You're lucky, we were going to call the poliice so we could hear the tale of when they raided you (since no one knew the gun was real or not).

>>14192
Actually, I was left wondering if you had used a toy gun or a real one... This solves the issue.
