I find it funny

how some people takes things THAT seriously; this forum became just a theorical-fact-filled library with no personal connections between people nor sense of humor. I can tell stories of how people make fun of something in SMNC and it turns into 50 page troll thread (overnight), does it cause harm? No.
To answer the question - yes, it was made for lols. Good thing some haters popped in ^_^
