lightningtiger Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) 'Kristel' your MOC of Emma hitting the bottle is priceless ! LOL Though now I'm getting a little tired of this going on and on......I feel it's run it's course.....back to EB time.

RaincloudDustbin Posted April 2, 2013 Right... this isn't even funny anymore, not that it was to start with. It seems that this is real. Not that anyone will really care but I'm done here. The name is frankly appaling- it's not even catchy. Way to promote the hobby, by being extremely exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Legonater Posted April 2, 2013 Guys, just because it goes a day or two longer doesn't mean it's not a joke. Don't most EB April Fool's go for a couple days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted April 2, 2013 Guys, just because it goes a day or two longer doesn't mean it's not a joke. Don't most EB April Fool's go for a couple days? Yeah, even Brickset said that it was April Fools joke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaincloudDustbin Posted April 2, 2013 It's getting annoying though don't you think, if it's a joke... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickington Posted April 2, 2013 Um, guys even if it isn't a joke, some people are getting a little out of hand. If you love the hobby so much, you shouldn't care what the site is called. You should love the site for what it is, not the name or the color of it. That's just my two cents... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke of wellington Posted April 2, 2013 I will probably leave EB come on America is one country no AMERICANISATION!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickington Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I will probably leave EB come on America is one country no AMERICANISATION!!!!! See, that's a little out of hand. I wouldn't leave if they changed the name to AussieBricks, or something or that sort. As I said, I love the site for what it is, and I would hope that any AFOL would as well. But non-Americans are feeling unwelcome or excluded, it's the site that I've got issues with not the hobby. What about non-Europeans? Don't you think they might feel excluded? Anyway, seriously, I think it is an AF joke, but only time will tell. Does anyone remember what was last year's joke?

Does anyone remember what was last year's joke? Eurobricks didn't SCREAM European like this though. I'm all for a name change just one like GlobalBricks or InterBricks or UniBricks or even EarthBricks. That way, nobody is left out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted April 2, 2013 I hope this is all a joke, and I'm American! I liked the name Eurobricks and it doesn't bother me one bit that America is not recognized in the title. Ameribricks is more discriminatory than Eurobricks, so if it's real, the name will make it worse! Tomorrow or two days from now will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimmbeard Posted April 2, 2013 Well it probably is an April Fools joke, the staff just want us to get all jumpy . I don't really mind the name at all. The site's still the the same . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 2, 2013 Perhaps it is America month like Ninja month, Superhero month, etc. America your avatar. Hmm, mine is already red, white and blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arsenalfan98 Posted April 2, 2013 If I may say a few things... 1. If this is indeed an April Fools joke, then a clever one it is. 2. If it isn't, then this is an odd move to say the least. I don't know the numbers, but I doubt very much that there are more Americans on here than Aussies, Asians, Africans and Europeans. 3. Remember, most Americans descend from European colonists, and even then, a large percentage from Ireland alone! 4. Lego is indeed Danish, in Europe. 5. 'Murican's ain't got nothing on Europeans.

Brickington Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) 5. 'Murican's ain't got nothing on Europeans. We can do this: XXXX What can you guys do? Okay, I'm done... EDIT: I just realized that could offend some. Edited April 2, 2013 by Brickington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted April 2, 2013 I can say that I personally like a lot about Europe. If this isn't a joke after all, EB (or should I say AB ) has gone crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izzy Posted April 2, 2013 We had a very long and heated discussion about how to grow "EB". It became clear in the course of the discussion that we felt the name could be holding us back. Flash forward and bam, problem solved. Welcome to AB. I like it. Then people can say that they are members of the A.B.C (AmeriBricks Community), you can't get any more simple than that. Genius really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Otaku Posted April 2, 2013 I am a little slow, I missed yesterday and didn't realize some other people are slow like me. The site still says Ameribricks and when I first saw that, I thought you had dumped LEGO for the old brick toy American Brick: http://www.architoys.net/toys/toypages/ambricks.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arsenalfan98 Posted April 2, 2013 We can do this: XXXX What can you guys do? Okay, I'm done... EDIT: I just realized that could offend some. Number 5 was just there, ya know, for the laughs. But, we have one thing that no American can say.......... Cheaper. Lego. Sets. I cannot speak for all of Europe, but a majority of it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
def Posted April 2, 2013 But non-Americans are feeling unwelcome or excluded, it's the site that I've got issues with not the hobby. Non-Europeans were excluded before? I've never felt more like a second-class citizen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
