 We only put the 'April Fool' text on after midday as originally it was just in the e-mail link (in the UK, if April Fool's are performed after midday, according to superstition, it's bad luck). Glad you enjoyed it!

Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 151 | Well, my little prank got a lukewarm reception... some loved it, some complained deciphering the Swedish Chef-erized text gave them a headache. And there were only a few scattered new posts today. I think next year I'll have rubber chicken paratroopers take over the forum. Or maybe make it explode...  | ||||

| I attempted to do a fake moderator thread using the /you hack but it kind of didn't work. For some reason everybody saw my name where the /you was instead of their own name. So right away it didn't make any sense.

I did see not only some forums doing April Fools Day pranks, but a couple of blogs did some also, mainly Shoemoney and Matt Cutts. Mine reward goes out to Matt Cutts, his was very convincing. | |||||

...I would have put the "APRIL FOOL" lower down on the page though...The way I read it was read the initial few sentences, look at the pictures, and scroll all the way down...I immediately saw april fools 
...Either move it down to the bottom or don't make the text stand out as much.
