Nintendo has sued Runouw.com

Postby Runouw » April 1st, 2010, 6:23 am

Dear users of Runouw.com,

Nintendo has sued us for using their music and graphics in our fangame Super Mario 63. We cannot tell the exact fee, but it is around 1 million dollars. We will remove the game and the SM63 forums in a few days. They will be replaced by the GT and the Evil Factory forums, I want to add a Level Designer to it later this month.

Thank you for understanding our situation. I hope this doesn't hurt you too much.

If you are interested, I scanned in the mail I got from Nintendo here: The Scanned Letter

April fools, Runouw :D

Edit by Runouw:
No, it isn't a April Fools joke. I just got the letter yesterday.
In fact, I didn't even know that April Fools was today :?

Go here, Runouw. There's candy. I promise.

Well, okay, it's a joke, but that's only half the truth. There's more April Fools in this post.

Half the truth? More April Fools?

WE'RE DOOMED!

Wait....I don't get it. BTW how are you even here, Runouw? I don't see your name at the bottom of the index page.

There are actually three options for hiding online status:
- Off
- On, but get counted in "hidden users"
- On and don't get counted
The last one is just for admins. And I guess this is what Runouw uses.

Okay. That would make sense.

Hey Runouw, surely that wasn't the best you could've come up with, right? ;) Perhaps a fake game demo, or something really exhilerating! Something that would blow our minds.

Or, classic epicroll is fine, too :D
