Went on dA to see that everyone's avatar has been changed! Mine has even been changed into something involving Lady Gaga! AND, I can't change it, either.

Yes, I eventually figured that out. Still, I never even HAD an interest in Lady Gaga!

I got "Team Jacob", too, lol! NOT that I'd be really into guys who chase cars(literally), have an unhealthy fascination with fire hydrants and trees, shed like nobody's business and who think that the mailman is the Anti-Christ, but hey, it's better than Lady GaGa! I honestly didn't even notice until it was pointed out here, lol.

Heehee. One of the people I watch is called 'Vampyre1o5' she did wilt pics and I comment on the odd picture she does. I mentioned how her name made her edward icon look intentional (even though she hates twilight too!) And she agreed. She finds it pretty funny all in all.
I've seen one person (probably someone much younger) who was overreacting and saying they wanted to leave. But most people are like "LOL. I hate twliight LOL. LOL."
"Oh hell me too! Hahahaha The DevArt mods are such epic jerks. I think I love them."
(It's all that more or less.)
And people are laughing at those making a very big deal out of it (saw one mock threatening to leave and tricking people... because they are saying twilight is EVIL! This is MUCH funnier than last year with the pokemon! Lots more fun.)
My icon is a bit different to yours- you got him shirtless and with 'team jacob'- I got the same character but my icon is just his face and also says 'Real men don't sparkle'.
Hahahahaha.
What does your signature say guys? (They changed that too), Granted my one is borderline suicidal or something like that (Huh?) Others have twilight lines though.
Granted as someone who once lurked on Twilight sucks, this amuses me. A lot.
Oh! I SO have to go over there to see THEIR reaction!
There's also something called 'Team Seeker' in addition to Gaga- otherwise it's Eddie the sparkley vampire and Jacob icons.

Yes, I noticed the signatures, too. Did anyone notice mine? "I want you leather studded kiss in the sand." It also shows kissing lips.

You know that's funny considering I had recently actually WATCHED Twilight when we got STARS free for a few days, and rented the sequel to see what the hype was about hehehe. Apparently I guess the feud had pull pull sides heh.
As for Lady GaGa, don't know her much other than her "Poker Face" song if it's the same person. Needless to say Eric Cartman made that a legend ^_^

So someone noticed the sh*t that was pulled...and it's a prank...well, personally it's not that funny. Decided to report the little mother f*ckers to DA staff, commented to one about the little stunt AND ban all four of their sorry little a$$e$! I have nothing against pranks but allow me to quote Eminem since "there's a fine line that you don't cross and you crossed it." Little b*sterds need to learn that pranks should be done with friends and family...NOT COMPLETE STRANGERS!!! Ha, so how's that a prank for ya, cause if they thought that their joke was funny, looks like mine will probably screw them over so to the four little retards who pulled this sh*t...April Fools A$$HOLES!!! ;D

Not according to one of my watchers, she found four pages of four DA members AND when she wrote in her journal about how it was them doing it, they commented back confirming what she wrote.

Mistica, I have the email confirming that it was the dA staff. Anyway, it's back to normal, now, thank goodness.

It WAS DA staff...honestly I do not think that a member would be able to hack EVERYBODY'S accounts and change the avatars and sigs, and even if they did, the staff would quickly get things back to normal. I don't know what time they changed things back, but I still had "Team Jacob" at 2:00 am Eastern Time, but it was back to my usual avatar, by long-deceased APBT, "Princess", when I got up at around 11:00(Spring Break-WOOHOO).

Yes. Pretty sure it was the DA staff. You get people CLAIMING to do that sort of thing (read: usually liars) but the DA staff do this sort of thing every year. Last year? Mudkips.
I checked online and in 2004 they apparently pretended the British staff members took over DA completely and that all the American staff were barred. They said it was in the name of preserving the english language. And that those who wrote words like 'soccer' would result in IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION. Plus people if they wrote things like 'mom' would have to write 'mum' in brackets and other things like that.
DA staff pull something every year apparently. This year they decided, because Twilight seems to divide people on DA in some circles both IN the fandom, the anti-fandom (especially with the movies now in full steam) to get a laugh out of it, as well as putting out Lady Gaga who kind of came out of nowhere too, and apparently some obscure canceled show (for some reason)- no harm done at all. And after a day they always take it away.
I must admit though I got a bit of a fright when I saw Vanessies DA signature was Edward. (Saw it before mine) XD.

Thought so. Big sites such as that have their leads do a sorta joke. Albiet it might not be taken well by some, it's been done before. Though I do have to wonder WHY they chose the Twilight theme...would have been good last year.
