Peppermint_M Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Howdy, I can't think why you don't know this is a permenant chage folks! We need to work to our Demographics after all! http://youtu.be/yydlX7c8HbY
Devorath Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 This has to be one of the most rapidly replied-to topic in the history of Ameribricks. Actually, that's not that hard.
Tazmaniac Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Nothing against the Americans here, but if we have to change, can we make it "AussieBricks"? "AmeriBricks" just doesn't roll off the tongue very easily. Somebody give this girl a cookie! That's totally on the money, AussieBricks. If that was not part of the voting options then I think we need a re-vote. But seriously, it's still the same site guys and if a name change gets us more users, then I support the staff in this outrageous decision.
UrbanErwin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm not a big fan of the USA, does that mean that I'm getting banned? Aprils fools day
Alasdair Ryan Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I like the change to Ameribricks.com,and I love that lovely blue background colour too..... Do you have plans to replace the pirate section with a cowboys and Indians section? I bet Boneparte would look great with a gun holster around him,rather and being a captain of a small pirate ship.
Roger_Smith Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Also, we need some place to discuss weapons! Well you guys do have the right to keep and brick arms, according to the second amendment, so that's a wholly understandable wish Nice April Fool's. Luckily, I was already warned by the local newspaper announcing a visit of poope Francis to the capital of our federal state :D
Good old Lego builder Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure in a few years AmeriBricks will be renamed to ChinaBricks. With language and all. Sateh!
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 First Youtube closing and now this.........I also hear that this guy will run for the oval office next...... You gotta love April Fools !
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I actually didn't notice the banner was changed. Zeroed in on WhiteFang's review, I completely overlooked it! I would like to see the users demographic numbers. I've aways wandered which country has peak numbers throughout the day and night. I had a good laugh
Aussie BJ Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Looking like a bit of a Hamburger now....... Well played Boys and Girls Hoorah.......!
AndyC Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Well it certainly made me smile, so objective achieved I think.
Etzel Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 It was inevitable I guess, we couldn't ignore the demands of the masses of American users anymore. Well, I might be not be an American myself, but I'll do my best to adjust to the new times and adapt the new customs. America! Duck yeah!
Commander_Rob Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'd had feeling something like this would happen since the site went international from its former European focus. Oh well, nothing to be done but trying to make the best of it. Avatar adjusted to something more AMERICAN.
xxlrocka Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Ameribricks isn't complete without an Ameribrit! But yeah, good joke, guys. Real good.
Brickington Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I love you guys! Do you know how happy I am about the change? This new name and theme is awesome! USA! USA! USA! America all the way, baby!
Falcon Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 APRIL APRIL !!! @ BOb: You knwo who invited the internet??? "We" made it.... the Ricolaaaaas ....next too .... it was an English Inventor (Tim Berners-Lee) who was working at the CERN... or did you mean the Arpanet??? @ the Admin of Eurobricks.... sorry Ameribricks.... : thanks for the work and the time that you have spent for it...
Brickington Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Wait a second!?! This is one of those April thingys! That really fires me up. I was loving it.
Skalldyr Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Howdy! But seriously, it's still the same site guys and if a name change gets us more users, then I support the staff in this outrageous decision. I agree with you. Weapons, Hot Dogs, Burgers, Baseball, Basketball. Ameribricks.com I'm coming!
DrasticPlastic Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 This is insulting to Americans to portray them as needing everything to be about them, not every Yank spends their morning saluting the flag... This is just the worst sort of pandering - this site is about lego. Why not call it 'worldbricks' and, in a masterstroke of not understanding trends, you change the name while user numbers are increasing?!?!
Space Terrapin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Happy April Fool's Day to you too! A shame not all responders have checked their calendars....
Only Sinner Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 God bless America! Home of the atom bomb, segregation, xenophobia, celebrity rehab, country music, and Snookie. You're welcome.
