April Fools!

Post » Mon Aug 24, 2009 12:50 pm

Seems the internet's favorite holiday is starting up. http://www.youtube.com/ Kinda clever--post the pranks you notice!

edit: heh and um... apparently the forums have pranked me by causing me to post this in mods instead of a more appropriate forum.

Gstaff says I need to move this to Community Discussion. I'm not sure where that is. Can anyone give me a link?

You've pinned it! The link to CD is at the bottom of the screen on the index page of each game.

Honestly, you just can't get the staff.

Isn't there like a manual on the mods forum somewhere?
Maybe post a youtube tutorial?
I'm just suggesting some pointers to help facilitate the.. takeover? Transition? Morf? wadda we gonna call this? Revolution? Mass moderator lay offs?

@ old mods

The admins of an MMO i've been playing thought it would be funny to revert the server to a date in 2009. It was not funny. Blast this bloody day.

I was disappointed when I checked the forums this morning, but I forgot about the different timezones, and came back to this.

What I don't like about April fools day are the people who post fake stories one or two days early or late. April Fools is one day, but people act like it's a whole week.

Tis true. I think they plan on keeping it....
It's awful in every sense of the word.

Two cartoon sites I know swapped their domains today, both with the excuse they had to sell it to the other one. :rolleyes:

And has anyone already gone on http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page today? lol

Apparently Blizzard changed everyone's race into Tuskarr, with only fishing as available professions.

Edit: In WoW of course.

I liked the Youtube one: 'by using only text you help youtube save 1$ per second on bandwith!'.

Yeah. I don't think they did anything much to their front page?

I remember last year's Rough avatar joke. Genius!

The new dwarf fortress version was actually really released today. I'm guessing many people thought it was a joke, so in a way they were fooled. :P
