It is with deep regret that I inform you of a radical corporate reshuffle at MuggleNet as a direct result of the current economic problems. Earlier today, Emerson Spartz, founder and webmaster of MuggleNet.com, was overruled by a large pack of monkeys who rebelled after hearing they'd no longer be fed bananas while working the inner parts of our site. The lead monkey, who only wishes to be called Larry, is now webmaster of MuggleNet.
As a cost-cutting measure, and to make sure the monkeys continue receiving their bananas, all but two of the staff have now been fired. Some of which, have been with the site from the beginning and will be missed by us all. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new webmaster, Larry, to the team and to thank Emerson, Micah, Ben, Ciaran, Damon, Jamie, Rachel, Laura, Dylan, Jill, Rosey, Brendan, Jackie, Becky, Eric, Michael, Kat, our transcribers, editorial staff, fan fiction staff and our interns for their contribution over the years. We wish all of them the best of luck for the future.
Check out the new profiles of the remaining staff here and don't forget to leave a good bye message in the comments section for those staff who were fired.

Welcome, Larry. I think I speak for us all at MuggleNet when I say welcome! I am sure not many people are taking this seriously, as it is April Fools Day. However, I welcome you to the site with open arms and cant wait to hear more from you and what is left of the MuggleNet staff.
hahaha.....th at was fun to write...but this is a really random thing to say...i wasnt expecting monkeys
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:14:05

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:18:45
If this is an april fools joke ill be very angry. however, i cant see something this serious being an april fools joke. this makes me sad, and i dont think webmaster larry is funny, i think that this is a serious matter that should be dealt with accordingly. I suppose this means i wont be doing my intern duties anymore... oh well.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:19:47
In this, my first post ever, it gives me great pleasure to say that I think all you Mugglenet staffers are hilarious (wayta follow through on the monkey picture!). And Im glad that even in these tough economic times Andrew gets to stick around!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:24:39
lol well clearly larry will do a much better job than emerson anyway...good riddance.

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:39:22
Well its rather mean of Larry to kick everyone off the staff, but at least hes cute! Haha. By the way, I love the "Error 401: Page Not Affordable" message, nice touch! Pretty awesome April Fools this year if I do say so myself

I almost cried when I saw the new economically-friendly site. Then I remembered it was the twins b-day. Just ask for a bailout- most likely youll get one.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 21:49:10
haha I love you guys but isnt April Fools Day supposed to end at 12 noon.

I think your Aprils fools day joke is funny. Monkeys in charge! Well, it could have been worse. You could have had Umbridge, Thicknese, the Carrows, Bellatrix, etc.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:02:43
oh please. like thats true.
o well......... might as well go along with it!
Welcome to Larry, and goodbye to all of the "fired" staff!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:05:19
You guys are really taking this joke far....well it is sad to even pretend!

Hehe. Happy April Fools Day everyone :)
And a very happy birthday to Fred and George!!!! I was gonna wear my Weasleys Wizard Wheezes shirt today, but it was in the wash :(
Great job with the postings today. Though I dont think youll be able to beat the year before last when you had claimed to have gotten to take an early peek at book 7 and you posted stuff about it. I cant really remember because I didnt finish reading it because Im a big no spoiler person so when I realized there might be a spoiler I stopped reading right away. But when I stopped and saw the comments, I realized it was April Fools day and It was a joke. So I read the list of things about the book and It was the most hilarious thing ever! And I felt so bad because I had really fallen for it. And I think I fell for the beginning of last years too. --But Ive learned now ; )
~MM~
P.S. jossergirl 7-- does April Fools Day end at 12 noon? I dont think ive ever heard that before. Ive always played pranks until right before bed.. Oops! Ah well, no one seems to mind! (I just hope no one spent all of today studying for that History test I made up)

Good night and farewell to all whom must depart. We wish you bright futures ahead!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:14:36
Okay, so I get the whole joke thing, but can I please get a "Happy birthday, Fred and George" post? Really. I need to feel the Weasley twin love.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:20:24
Haha, this is so funny! So clever, too. Love you guys!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:24:53
Happy April Fools Day everyone !! yeah... Happy Birthday to Fred and George! I love uu guys! =) Nice joke!. haha that was funny
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:31:45
...Stop with the complaints. Its a day of jokes. Dont like it? Log off and come back tomorrow. Nick is pretty hot :]. Comparing the pictures Nick looks like a nice boy to bring home to mom and dad. Andrew looks like he wants to kill you. Or he stays locked up in his room, slowing cancer growth....
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:39:06
Lol. Haha--I got on here earlier, forgetting (as I do every year) that it was April Fools Day. Then I saw all the money saving posts, had a moment of "What the heck?" and remembered! Happy April Fools Day! And happy birthday Fred and George!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:40:28

Happy April!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 22:58:13
Oh no!! Emerson!
= ]
This one relieved me. I couldnt be sure if it was all a joke before.
All these updates, and not one about Fred and Georges birthday.
You disappoint me, Mugglenet staff.
Then again, you are all monkeys...
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 23:18:10
Sniff, whimper whimper. Ill sure miss everyone. Choke, gasp, whine. Dont leave!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeze stay. With snot dripping from my nose and tears running profusely down my cheeks and into my v-neck sweater, I wish you adieu.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 23:22:35
How long have yall been planning this. Yall are completely ridiculous and totally funny. I do not know where you get these hairbrained ideas from. Happy April Fools.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 23:31:11
I will always love you Eric, the only one cool enough to visit the Australians.....we all love and will miss you =(

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-01 23:54:09

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-02 00:20:55
Is it STILL April 1st over there? Then why had the layout gone back to normal?! Well, if the Larry chose who to stay on,I must say he has very good taste! Im sure Nick and Andrew will have LOADS of fun hosting MuggleCast in 7 minutes! :D You guys seriously rule.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-02 00:25:53
