Awww, I missed out until I found the thread, but I did all my morning browsing just waiting for somebody to pull something and I missed the best one!

I thought zug.com had the best prank of the year. The whole thing about the free vasectomies for fat men was a prank. That had national attention.

I'm a dork also. I blame only having one cup of coffee to that point. I click, I get the message.
*blink*blink* okay... Now, considering that I made 1/2" wide labels that said "April Fools!" and stuck them on the undersides of my co-workers mice last night before I left (at midnight), I'm going to assume this is a joke. Okay, view source... I read some code. I see it's all still there. so...why don't I see it? Hm, I keep looking. I see all the "< br >" in the "message" table, and.....nothing clicks. Now I nuke the cookies and go to see the main page. Okay, it's there. Hm. Do some clicking, find my way around. The site's there. *sips coffee* "now what the hell..." Go back to the "message" page...read source.... OH! br. Duh. *smack head* *scroll down* Sigh. Happy April 1st all! Thanks Hal!

Heh, I actually went around checking all my favourite sites, to see what 'fools they would try to be pulling. I almost expected the mighty TFP to say it had been shut down, or to get a random redirect. You had me wondering a little bit until I scrolled down though. :P
Happy 'Fools!

Had me for a little then I remembered what day it was...
Problem was I didn't think to scroll down... I've been waiting all day for the damn site to start up and have pictures of Hal laughing his ass off...

I had my boyfriend's number dialed waiting to tell him that my favorite forum was being shutdown and how I didn't know how I would spend my time without it. But then I realized what today was and felt like an idiot!

yknow, i was actually concerned... since the tfp myspace group actually disappeared today too. i thought maybe they were connected in the shut down.
i think i may have figured it out sooner if my husband wasn't home today keeping me offline. but yeah, good ol' "check source code" to the rescue. i haven't had a good apr fools prank for many many yrs. ![]()

I knew it was an April Fool's joke right away, but I had to have a friend tell me about the whole "scrolling down" thing.
I thought "Hm, okay.. I'm sure others will be fooled, but you mean I actually have to WORK today?! C'mon.. bring it back up."

I have bookmarks that take me directly to "View new posts" and "Advanced search", so I wouldn't have seen this prank at all if you guys hadn't mentioned it.
Where's Halx to gloat about his success? I also wonder if he pulled any other tricks, he had some great ones last year.

Guess I'm just the grumpy guy here, but being in a country where it's been april fools all day and checking out my fav websites after coming home from going out to a bar, I'm kindof annoyed to find most of them littered with April Fools jokes. I mean... most of them aren't even usable anymore...
Then again... this hasn't been a good day... Blah... think I should just get some sleep now...
