Squids spotted on Smashboards?!

[Warchamp7]

Late last night, just prior to routine maintenance, a leak sprung in the Smashboards server room. What appeared to be ink began slowly filling the room and threatened to bring Smashboards to a sticky halt.

However, thanks to the swift response of our administration team, the hole was closed, the mess (mostly) cleaned up, and things returned to normal. Maintenance was delayed approximately 20 minutes as a result, but continued otherwise without issue.

Strange squid creatures are swimming about on Smashboards?!​

Following maintenance however, it was discovered that during the brief chaos, strange squid creatures infiltrated the website, and are now swimming freely throughout it. Smashboards staff is working diligently to remove them, but it is proving troublesome and will take some time.

Where do these creatures come from and what business do they have with Smashboards? Leave your guesses in the comments below!

Warchamp7 is the now rather orange tinted system administrator for Smashboards. He has worked tirelessly through the night attempting to stifle this invasion. Follow his coffee fuelled adventures on Twitter dealing with these creatures @Warchamp7

[KentaKurodani]

Please let us keep these, or at least let premium members choose to have them. I would have this forever. It also reminds me of bloopers from mario so it's an additional bonus

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

At least our profile pics haven''t changed and the name of the site has changed :D
Edit- forgot to mention HOW NICE THE SQUIDS LOOK IN THE PROJECT M THEME FOR THIS SITE!

 

[Kirbyfan391]

If only Smashboards did this for Shaqboards...seeing floaty Shaq heads would've been god-like.

 

[Silvia]

This is quite interesting.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

And now this classic Ice Age 2 scene is relevant.

 

[Modular Zeal]

Not even joking I was freaking the hell out when I first saw one. I was so confused!!!! God I love this site!

 

[ToxicSword]

Dose it really surprises us?

[Someguyyoulikelydontknow]

inkling for smash

pls no

do not want

I do! :D (Not voting for them, but I do want it to happen.)

 

[Shrokatii]

I do! :D (Not voting for them, but I do want it to happen.)

Why? Like, I just see so much more potential in other characters that are more worth deserving of a spot in the game. Maybe its because I have no interest in splatoon but I'd rather them put time into a different character

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

These little squids are adorable.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Not raccoons 0/10

 

[Kurogal]

I kinda like these, not sure what the occasion is though.
And it might be slightly slowing down the loading of pages sometimes, although that could also just be the ads.

Spoiler: In other news, every day should be Earth day.

Especially if it keeps making great works of art like this.

Unfortunately that environment social MarthMario made yesterday only has 9 views so far despite being front paged in the Earth Day article, although there honestly isn't that much going on in there either.

 

[Zzuxon]

Why, there's no need to remove them!
They aren't doing any harm!

We need people to join! Why not join in to liven the group up? The more people who join, the more we can help the Earth!

It's a cool addition to the background
