I received hundreds of concerned PMs from users who did not approve of the changes. We are each entitled to our own opinion and I have decided to share some quotes from the messages I received:

I had a feeling it was all an april fools joke. Could've ended worse tho. I did however think that it was an impressibe april fools joke tho, the flashes, the design, it was all a perfect joke and it certainly did have its effect. Genius is all i can say. just genius

When I couldn't watch flashes or post in the forum, I had to figure that that was their April Fool's joke. I'm not surprised at the reaction to it as well.

i miss the red-design already :`(

Anyone got a complete set of word filters?

Did you REALLY try to get Chinese approval for this site, or was that just a platform for all the jokes?

I find it hard to believe that there was anything serious behind all of it, given the number of blatant piss-takes and petty cultural slandering.

Dude, yesterday was my favorite day of the year. I even posted my ratings in stereotypical Chinese/English. Thank you Mr. Fulp for poking the Fan-Boys, that can't look up from their monitors to check the date, in the eye. Now ,everywhere that doesn't observe yesterday as April fools Day, sorry you got caught in the middle. To everyone else who got all flamey and hostile, I say ' ;P ' Thanks Tom!

What a scary april fools joke, for a second i though the chinese were taking over newgrounds.
you sure had me fooled xD

look at what the april fools joke did to this chicki.

You should make a April Fools Wall of Shame. If those idiots couldn't figure out it was a joke from between the time they got on to the site and while writing you those stupid PM's then they deserve to be admitted to NGs wall of shame.

I took a load of screen shots as proof and documentation. Link to the gallery

it kinda stinks that we have been re-blocked in china, but it was a good choice on your part tom, thank you

also i don't think it was right for everyone to get mad at you for wanting to expand your website and for that i'm sorry it didn't work out

over a year of planing ruined in one day lol, that totally sucks dude, but at least we can say we gave china a glimpse of newgrounds right?
nice work tom

Hahahahahahahah, I may have found that too funny, sad, I know ;)

It's funny to see how much racism is brought out from some of the members from such a little April Fool's gag.

WOOT! All my 5 are belong to this!

I love MindChamber but he doesn't love me anymore...

I say the Chinese redesign was awesome. It was SUCCESS and stupendous.
Genius and insane, I loved it. Lots of people complained that it went too far, but I bit the bullet for the day. Completely worth it.
To keep in good standing with our double plus good government, I kept my banner censored.
In fact, it would be fun to see a 1984 parody for next year...

You should just fucking kill yourself right now you shit sucking douchebag.

Thank you!!!!I hated not seeing the action and now I do!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you didn't shut down the flash and audio portals as well as the blogs. But I'm upset we're blocked again.

lol

Finally, we can post in the forums again and watch Mature and Adult rated stuff

Well thats totally not fair!

Yesterday was hilarious. You guys did a good job there, congrats.

I think I voted 0 on the 8-bit waterslide when it was under judgement. I feel like an asshole now :(

and i was just getting to like the red army too...

I had no idea people couldn't link a joke with a joke day. Noobs get pissed at such trivial things.
Good joke though Chairman Fulp. It gave me lulz.
