Just wanna take this chance to congratulate NG staff, great work! This has been one of the most outrageous april fools prank I've yet seen, and you've truly made the site a whole 'nother experience. Every part of the site design, to the hilarious chat, and China-themed submissions, was so well thought out. Definitely be able to look back on this day and savor all the jokes.
Although the site's mostly back to default, there's still a couple of things that remained unchanged ( mature rated flash still can't be seen, user icon still stuck at Mao, etc, etc) Will these remain as a running gag, or will they be filtered out as the site's changed back to normal?
In any case, again great work on such an extensive endeavor to fulfill the spirit of the holiday, a lot of sites out there can learn a lot from ngs.
