Yeah, the last one was better than the 2007 one though, I missed April Fools in 2006 so I don't know what that one was. I found this one quite ammusing.

If I remember correctly, it was the same as 2007. We all had admin red names on the userlists.

If I remember correctly, there hasn't been too much variation from that. This one was very good and creative, I thought.

Blows youtube's joke out of the water, all they did was change everything loaded off the homepage upside down... with a choice to make it normal.

Look, Larzo, I know it's tough to accept this, but it's true, I've been in and out of psychiatric treatment because I almost went insane when I first heard this. It's sad but true.

I prefer to believe all the hundreds of users who convinced themselves it won't happen.

I have to admit it's still hilarious seeing Mao everywhere.

Heh, well the truth is that nobody actually knows for sure, Tom's post was pretty unusual, it's not like him to just say that without actually explaining why in detail.

Besides, if it ever does happen or not, we don't really have a say in the matter. So we might as well just enjoy the BBS while it lasts, or not.

April Fool's joke rings any bells?

No?

Read this.

Best April Fool's Day ever! Now they only have to fix these freaky icons and level icon.

I guess it's only a matter of time before they take 'em out, I'm sure gonna miss that golden aura though.

And we all learned a valuable at the end... I love you all.

/thread

I think there is a site where they stored all the overhauls... I can't remember what it was. Numagrounds was good, Poogrounds was so-so, but this one was the best I've ever seen!!!

One emotion is fixed haha

Eh, it was ok, the fact you couldent post really was boring to me, but it was ok

things that have been fixed:
- word filter
- posting
- layout

things that should be fixed:
- voting buttons
- icons
- emoticons

I thought it was a really good joke this year. They certainly did put a lot of effort in it. It was funny to see 400+ users eagerly awaiting to unleash their posts on the BBS, and it stayed locked all day long :p

The colors started to hurt my eyes a bit after a while though.

Personally, it fucking sucked. That's all i have to say. Especially with how far they went with it, it just seemed racist.

They are "fixed", clear your cache.

Voting button doesn't need to be "fixed", though.

It's nice to smell the metallic smell of the normal site design again.

That was one april fools joke that went TOO FAR!
Yeah it was really funny to begin with and the staff went through a lot of effort to pulling that one off, but not letting us post in the BBS was just plain cruel! =(

Well at least we got to learn what Newgrounds would be like if we got taken over by China...
(Seriously I'd fear a nazi takeover much less than a Chinese invasion!)

That...was..not...funny...at...all......
..grrrrrrrr

I KNEW I shouldn't have gone to sleep at 2:59AM!
I missed all the transitioning fun!

How can I call myself a hardcore NGer when I was asleep when the forums came back up?

I rather enjoyed it actually, a whole day with no stupid posts, other than those on submissions (and the fact that you couldn't vote on reviews made some idiots go overboard with the "YOU'RE A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" comments...kinda sad)

I rather liked the front page design and the avatars :)

Yes, I guess Tom really tried to make this one epic. He knew that Poogrounds was really lame and a complete fuck up on his part.
