What was your April Fools Gag on your site?

[Mouth]

Other than XF's excellent v2.3 release announcement today, what April Fools Gag have other sites used?

On mine, I created a NEWS node thread discussing a government press release that will be sure to trigger and rile-up site members/audience whom aren't quite canny and forget the date. https://netrider.net.au/threads/government-to-lower-putty-road-speed-limit-to-60-km-h.281580/

Haha love putty road. Had an accident there on a s15 cruise in my younger years though.

Hopefully no prolonged injuries or scars? (Other than the 'good' scars to tell the grand kids embellished stories about).

The news about the sale of the forum to a competitor who has already killed several sites with the same topic. With changing logo and domain to one of killed sites.

Did a similar gag last year (or the year before), they always trigger

Haha, I did something similar a while ago, but the forum members thought it was a really good idea

I'm waiting for April 2 to better surprise them... I'm Machiavellian.

I use the word censor, so e.g. photo of the month becomes photo of the moth

XF just pulled a good one with that ghastly green color

Apparently the font is Comic Sans but iPads don’t have that installed…

Here's mine a few years back:

I'm just not sure about that green here. Otherwise, I'm thrilled by the new look.

Loooool, what’s happening here!? Woke up with a hangover and was shocked at what I just stumbled on

Ah, just go back to sleep

There was one a few years ago where the very traditional, classic look got turned into very bright and obnoxious colours with a My Little Pony vibe, and instead of the grey badge I had, I had a rainbow coloured badge with the title “Lead Stableboy” and so of course renamed myself to Rainbow Dash for the day.

Quite fun to add some CSS so the text is at an angle

I just assumed it was finally xenForo 3

 

[RobinHood]

Is it wrong that I kinda like the new design?
