You really scared me :( I swear my heart stopped when I read the message on the site.

I freaked and tracked you down to livejournal when I saw the notice on the site. I couldn't believe it. Thank you thank you thank you for not being that petty. I adore what you guys do here and that was totally not nice.

It felt like my best friend had died. Maybe i need to get a life.

Judibry @ Apr 01, 2007 05:15 pm

I felt like throwing up, so never fear. I am not the only one who needs to get a life!

Thank goodness it was all a joke! (An ebil, ebil joke!) Sigh.....

On the bright-side, I caught up with holiday homework, but that was just mean :( didn't occur to me it was an April Fools joke, but I'll be ready next year =]

CharmedPhantom @ Apr 01, 2007 06:01 pm

good one. =D

Emotional Roller Coaster, anyone?

Though, I believe in the last 24 hours I certainly have come to respect the staff that much more.

Nyghtinggail @ Apr 01, 2007 07:26 pm

WHEW!
I definately had a panic attack.
I actually EMAILED you!

I didn't realize until later that today was April Fools' Day, and I felt a mighty fool.

I'm very glad the site isn't closed. Hooray!

lilydarliing @ Apr 01, 2007 08:58 pm

I think that was the best prank in the history of pranks. That was well played. Scared the CRAP out of me, but still veyr convincing. Haha, NO MORE!

kellbell930 @ Apr 01, 2007 10:16 pm

You know it was evil but just think they could have changed it to a dramione site...Then what would we have done?

oxymoron8 @ Apr 01, 2007 10:28 pm

Oh my goodness, you don't BELIEVE how worried I was hehe. To the point where I believe I contacted you? Sorry about that by the way :] Glad it's back

anon_ee_moose @ Apr 02, 2007 12:31 am

It's a good one, but I already guessed that it's something like that cause I'm a member of a couple of sites who did similar things...
But I still refreshed my page over and over and over again maniacally and my friend thought I'm insane.
Well played!

Aalyah @ Apr 02, 2007 01:24 am

i am just so addicted to good D/G stories and thus this site. every morning i check my emails then come over here to see if any stories i am reading have been updated. you got me good with your prank.

Cap @ Apr 02, 2007 03:44 am

I think I checked back about 15 times. I'm so glad it's not really gone. Then I'd have no excuse for letting my kids run amuck

beckysue2 @ Apr 02, 2007 04:01 am

Oh my gawd. Thank Gawd. when the site went down yest I was going to cry. It didnt even click that it was an april fool's joke even though my brother kept "trying" to pull pranks on me.... Please don't do it again...i think you've all just shortened my life span by a couple of years..xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shwadi @ Apr 02, 2007 04:37 am

April Fool's joke? HAHAHA.

Moonyk @ Apr 02, 2007 04:51 am

LOL. Can I just say YAY to admin status? I had to log out to see what everyone was so upset about... and then it was SO SO hard not to spill the beans...

You know, I think that may be the first secret that I've ever kept in my life... ;)

jandjsalmon @ Apr 02, 2007 04:59 am

I have to admit when I saw it the night before I wasn't very worried because I saw "maintenance" tacked on to the end of the URL. That and it didn't sink in that it was April fool's until after so I figured it was an evil prank! ;o

LimnHere @ Apr 02, 2007 06:58 am

awful lol should have guessed it was a prank

hummie @ Apr 02, 2007 07:04 am

I just about cried when I tried logging in yesterday!! My family doesn't ever really do anything on April Fool's day, so I didn't even suspect it was a prank.

saucy @ Apr 02, 2007 07:15 am

Ahhhhhhhh. Oh. My. God....

...I've been away from FIA and the forums for weeks because I've been caught up in school stuff, and yesterday I thought, "Phew, now I've got some time to just relax and read..."

And the archives AND the forums were gone. And then I stalked Mynuet's livejournal for ages, and I was even going to write this long understanding note about how it was fine and that I wished her all the best. Ahhhh.

I'm going to freak out. Forget April Fool's; the fact that the site is back is kind of like having Christmas!

spider @ Apr 02, 2007 08:26 am

I stayed real cool, calm and collected. I had a feeling it was a prank. So, I just waited it out. But seriously, if this site ever closed down for real. I wouldn't know where to go to read anything related to D&G, because this is the only site I visit for HP stories.

Rashonda @ Apr 02, 2007 12:02 pm

~Very evil.....I like it.~

CourtneyFaith @ Apr 02, 2007 12:38 pm

me and my sister went through sum serious withdrwal, lol i'm happy the sites back.

geminizdraco @ Apr 02, 2007 03:25 pm

I was gonna be so pissed if I couldn't finish reading some stories! hahaha
That was a good one. A REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY EVIL- LIKE CRUELLA DEVILLE EVIL- prank, but a good one. Pulled off very nicely.
