From today we here at darkSpyro are introducing a totally new way for you to help the website and in doing so bring to life many of your oft-requested features. The 
dS Coin is our brand new currency that you can use to gain access to all of the newly developed features and extra customisations of your experience here on 
Obviously we can't expect you to jump on board without trying a few things out first so we have given each and every one of you a starting balance of a whopping1,000, enough to make hundreds of posts! You'll be able to put it towards many different things like posts, topics, titles, avatars, skins, usernames, signatures, your own personal board, and much much more!
Our prices start at just $5 for500 and get more competitive the more you spend at once. Those of you who are unable to or can't afford to actually buy any dS Coin you'll be excited to hear that we also offer a 
Gem conversion service where you can transform your hard earned Gems into the brand new currency with great ease. It may take a while to build up enough to turn into enough to purchase the more expensive items but it will be well worth the wait when you finally get there.
Lastly, since this is just the beginning the prices are still in flux as we figure things out, while we're doing that you have our guarantee that if a price in ds Coin goes down within 30 days of purchase we will refund you the dS Coin difference. And, of course, if a price goes up there will be no extra charge.

Well played. Now we know what Darkspyro would be like if microsoft owned it.
I'm not sure what I find more hilarious; this joke or how people are reacting to it.
This is bull. If this is real, I am leaving this site. I am not spending $5
Drobot, look what I sent to funnybone. And you will understand.

Are you seriously leaving just because of the
I remember the exact same thing happening in the closing down of the site joke. Luckly it was only one user, but still, this is what April Fools is about.
It's sad saying goodbye to such great users. But they made themselves go insane over a tiny joke. You'll probably be back in no time, or maybe you're doing an April Fools joke? Because it's pretty unbelievable that people would have such a bad reaction, on a one day April Fools joke.
How do I change myself from green sparx to a chosen rank?
Click the amount of money you have, scroll down to the bottom, click Custom Title, and you will find your way from there.
this is the worst ever!!.. im done with darkspyro now.
Okay this honestly makes me very mad. After 2 years of being on this website and being able to post freely and earn gems without having to use them for anything but keeping progress of how long I've been on the website, I really dislike this change. I feel like I can't do things freely.
Of course you can't do things freely, Dark is allied with the Illerminocculous and their evil plan to erradicate pies from Skylands. All this gold is going towards their Pie-Destroyer-O-Matic fund.
It's actually HILARIOUS that some of you think it's real.

Congratulations. This joke actually got me to sign in for the first time in months. I was quite surprised to see an actual coin-count. I am impressed... I wish get back to posting more regularly again... Happy Fools' Day everyone.
Only 1000 coins?
So that means i'll be out by the end of the day, with the amount i post.

Okay, not really. This is actually pretty good April Fools joke.
Well....This sucks

Yessss...URA!
Quote: KnightArtoriasWell damn...I wish I would have changed my custom title to something else tho...something like "Hollowed".
...
Excuse me while I liquidate my gems.
EDIT: Awww...not enough gems.
*feels sorry for whoever actually falls for it and gets rid of their gems*
You can, it's in the settings, where your avatar is. There's no limit in changing it.
Yessss...URA!
I AM SO ANGRY I JUST SMASHED EVERYTHING!
As soon as I run out of DS coins and reach up to rank of Emerald Sparx, I'll be leaving.
It wouldn't be a problem if we could keep the custom titles. ^.^b
I would very much like to keep the custom titles. They seem like a good idea.
Quote: TheSpyrofan12
Really, though, the titles we have and listing our gems seems a bit redundant, since for the most part only gems affect it (I can't remember if mods and dark52 have custom titles, and I can't check since even if they don't normally they can today
)

I can't believe some people think this not a prank, heheh

dark's rank has always been "Spyro the Admin," and the mods are all "Hunters." Frankly, this is the only board I've been a part of where there isn't some sort of custom title you could put under your username. And I've been on forums since 2004. <.>;

Not looking at the calendar during this week makes no sense,either.

What if this was an April Fools prank but that April Fools day prank was an Aprils Fools and this is permanent?
The young users upset over this will leave.

The money bit would be kinda...cruel. T_T
The titles would be awesome!

This joke just lighten my day ever other joke people tried to play during day just made it horrible I'm glad Darkspyro had great jokes that give out good reaction and I like rank renaming
Deeply sorry everyone, there have been some major problems with getting the payment system up and running consistently so we're going to have to switch off the dS Coin program for now. Hopefully it'll be back one day soon!
And in the meantime any purchased titles should remain until the next gem update although you will be unable to change them further once the dS Coin program has been switched off, that's scheduled to happen in approximately 10 minutes.
Yes, it was of course all an APRIL FOOLS! Oh you should have seen the looks on your faces!

Damn, I was hoping to keep being the Leader of the Free World...
I wish we could keep them for longer.

Remember Google Nose, guys? Now THAT was a devastating April Fool's prank.
I shall enjoy the Hollowed title for as long as I can.
It would be a great idea to keep the custom titles Dark, also, did anyone actually buy the personal sub-forum? If you did, props to you for playing along with the prank that much, I think those that left didn't know the date though...

You never be Notes. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Honestly, this depresses me because it's really just the most popular rejected suggestions from Site Help & Suggestions being waved in front of our faces. I'd totally take advantage of the username change, y'know.
*sigh*
You never be Notes. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I expected as much, in my mind I was like, "The coin thing will disappear on the 2nd. It is April 1st, dark never misses one, and nothing else around the site had changed. Well played."

My title is going to be stuck on Death Farts for so long. Oh my cheesus.

I would say that it'll be funny in hindsight, but I think regular sight should have caught that one.
