Though, on a more serious note (and because I'm too lazy to make a thread), are there any plans to loosen up the swearing rules? Because, as is, they... Don't really make too much sense, IMO, and are wildly inconsistent...

I feel so welcomed to such a new and exciting future that it seems like I'm playing Trials Fusion!
Spoiler : the joke :
the joke is trials fusion has this one song you constantly hear where "welcome to the future" is the only lyric. now you know.

Ah, so that's the joke ? That's why people keep talking about a joke since I made the announcement ?
I didn't know about this song at all when I wrote the title, now I understand. Thanks Reecer ! :mrgreen:

Yes, that was the joke all along. Honestly, Unas, did you really think the joke was that you just turned AAO into an expensive commercial pay site with support from Capcom? :-P

Eh, unrealistic figure. Internet CPMs are pretty low, like... ~$1 CPM? Which means you got 25k impressions in ~4 hours which would be highly unlikely. Choose more realistic numbers if you're going to make jokes.

Simply put, I hacked the ad servers. Added a few extra zeros to the monetization rate. I'll change it back before payout so they don't get suspicious.

Why do you say that ?
... It's true that I haven't made a news about our analytics stats for a few years so you probably don't know about the growth of our audience.

Well, if anyone had any doubt remaining, let me reaffirm that the whole conclusion of the news was just a silly April fools joke.
There has of course never been any plan to make AAO a paysite, and V6 is and will remain to be used by everyone, as planned for years.

I hope you laughed at the joke like I had fun writing it !


With that out of the way, I have updated the announcement with a new important conclusion - entirely true this time. Please have a look :-)

Wait, it was all a lie? AAO was never intended to be a paysite?

Then who did I pay money to...?

I assume that your reluctance to create a pornographic branch of the site was also part of the joke? Because that is obviously the right way to go for AAO. ;-)
