I've closed this thread. From what I can see, people have had a little trouble with tact in their posts, upset some people and misunderstood one another to the point that it got heated and people reacted to each other a little beyond the point they should have.
The fact that it's about an April Fool's news update doesn't do any favours towards keeping the thread open, either.
Basically let's all just have a cuddle.
