Thank You! (from Tobor)

THE REIGN OF OMEGON LIVES.

I have to thank you all so much for your assistance so far!

A few of you certainly were able to give me help in order to habilitate in the new WordPress blogging environment! Mostly the fact that I can make a decent post thanks to a look around on the official WordPress guide, as well as you guys of course!

Over time, I feel I’ll be able to get better, and who knows? Maybe I’ll get my own blog one day! Even though it might not be as great as the juggernaut that is the Poptropica Help Blog, there’s a possibility that I could make an equally good blog. GONe will be the days of my noobish self as I continue on my journey here! 😛

Haha, I can’t grow too confident yet though. And neither should you… after all I’m hardly the first to begin my sentence of serving this blog with a thank-you letter. See you all later!

Hi. My name – at least online name – is ToborAureum. You probably never have heard of me, but can I ask you a favor? I need tips on how to make my own functional blog. I know you are really good at it and I’m happy you are so good at it. I don’t wish to embarrass myself on my own blog, though – I just need some help from people to get the hang of it.

Don’t worry, I won’t stay long here. I’ll go as soon as I’ve learned as much as I can. Thank you 🙂

APRIL FOOL’S, gamers and Mocktropicans!

Slanted Fish

In case you hadn’t guessed – rest assured, yesterday’s “Mega Fighting Bots Help Blog” tomfoolery was all part of an April Fool’s prank thrown together by the PHB team. Did we fool you? :mrgreen:

MFB April Fools

We loved Gamer Guy on the Creators’ Blog and decided to bring a taste of his atrocious spelling and grammar (not to mention his obsession with Mocktropica’s Mega Fighting Bots) over here to the PHB, and what better way than on the Day of Jokes? 😀

So in addition to a typo-ridden post, the comments section of said post was also flooded with both Mocktropicans standing by Poptropica’s side, as well as elite gamers espousing their favorite game, which of course can only be Mega Fighting Bots. I mean, kicking bots all day long? That’s the dream!

Several of the PHB authors were commenting as “Gamer Guy”, and we did our best to answer most of your comments, which we hope kept you entertained! 😆 Also, Blake made a post encouraging Gamer Guy’s arrival and admonishing all the haters, because, well, GG may have offended a few n00bs.

Plus, we’re not sure how many of you noticed, but we also fixed up a brand-new About page (as mentioned in GG’s post) to introduce ourselves as pro gamers (check it out!). 😉 And did you see Gamer Guy’s Gravatar profile?

And as you probably saw, we added a header for the MFBHB, changed to an MFB background, and turned the theme color gold to match it. Did you like the change? Not to worry, we’ve reverted back to the regular PHB graphics and are back to typing with proper grammar. 😛

We hope the prank didn’t scare you too badly!

love and robots from the gamer guys & girls!

April Fools?

Codien

[Insert quirky pun to trick all Poptropicans here.]

Remember the good old days of Scary Tomato's Weblog?

(post written by Hijuyo; trick by Codien)

If you know your PHB history, you know that the founder, Hijuyo, used to be known as Scary Tomato, whose Poptropican was pictured in its very first blog header (shown above for your reference), back when ST/Hijuyo’s graphics weren’t all that great.

A few months later, along came Codien. He became the third author to join the team, after Smockers, and began sprucing up the place by creating amazing graphics for the site and even renaming it from ‘Scary Tomato’s Weblog’ to ‘Poptropica Help Blog’ – what we still know it as today.

PhotoAnd although he left the team, Codien’s missed us and is back to posting and being the awesome graphics guy – that part is not a joke! Coming back just in time for April Fool’s Day 2011, he quickly came up with the idea of triggering back some old memories as part of the prank – by putting the very first header up and once again changing the site name to Scary Tomato’s Weblog!

We hope it made you smile, but rest assured, we’re back to being the Poptropica Help Blog, and with Codien back on the team, our next header is definitely going to awe everyone. 🙂

Happy April Fool’s Day!

-‘Scary Tomato’ and Codien

*note: Since the PHB prefers to maintain a limit of 7 staff members and Smockers hasn’t been posting for almost a year despite attempts to contact him, we have removed him from the staff list. We are saddened to do this, but it is extremely unlikely he would have continued posting anyway. Farewell, Smockers, you will be remembered. :,)

P.S. Wondering what Poptropica did for April Fool’s Day at the same time? Check out the new ‘Prank Can’ gold card available at the Poptropica Store!
