Ok, I want to avoid seeing fifty different "April 1st" crap posts, though it will probably happen anyway. A lot of them are amusing, so we shouldn't ignore them all together, but how about we just stick to a single thread for the April 1st stuff? I'll start off with China buying Google: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/01/china_buys_google/
http://www.google.com/romance/ Google romance. I love google's april fools pranks. http://arstechnica.com/reviews/games/forever.ars DNF review... http://shalshdot.org Slashdot: OMG Ponies!
Here's a nice little roundup: http://aprilfools.urgo.org/ Also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1,_2006
Mean, yes, but not entirely out of line. I bet there will be one eventually. EDIT: Revo's supposed new name. Might be April Fool so Im putting it in here. http://www.revolutionreport.com/index.php?act=articles&code=read&id=373 Nintendo nplay -_-
I pretended to have my site get served by capcom with a C&D order. Pretty much everyone bought it. I went a bit further though, and then preceeded to release my beta's. Of course when they downloaded the zip, it contained a note saying april fools, but to get em one more time I included a ROT13 URL and said if they could decode it that they would get the real link. Of course that one is fake as well. I had a couple people go along with it as well and pretended that I really did release my beta's on accident when I uploaded the wrong zip. To my shock it actually got a LOT of people. Noone afaik knew it was false. http://www.thehorrorisalive.com The C&D:
It got me, since it was still march when the bastard did it. Still, all the posts are faked heh. Fun stuff
