Papa Smurf here. I'm a little late writing this update, but exams do come first, don't they? I was even hoping to leave a news update for Canada's curious holiday, Easter Monday, but schoolwork called...
Well, what is new? Well, for one thing, Administrator Sassette's scanner has broken! I don't forsee us being able to buy a new one for a while.
In other news, it appears that the messages forum has finally taken off. This makes me a very happy Smurf, especially since I used to run a BBS when I was a Smurfling.
Finally, let me make it clear that the April 1 news update was a joke. I pray that the message I received asking for an explanation was a joke as well. Regardless, I'm quite pleased that Other Smurf proved to be so popular. I will be selling Play-Doh replicas on the purchase page (no, I won't be).
That is all for now little Smurfs! Administrator Sassette will try to get that scanner fixed (or get a new one), but it may be a long while. Until then, keep on reading those messages in the message forum! And don't forget the fantastic chat forum as well, which ain't exactly chopped liver..."
