Finally! You admitted it! I was starting to think this was not a joke..

At first, I was confused as hell, and my nearby friend, who is... let's just say "not a fan" of commie china was really pissed off. THEN I saw the date, and laughed. I think my friend might've actually gotten more pissed, but then again, isn't that the point? Great job Tom.

....It should've been as obvious as PooGrounds.

Sure, it was elaborate.. but too blatant a change to be real. And seriously... do people never check the date on these things? xD

I can hardly believe what I read. April 1st ... it happened on April 1st - this is an INTERNATIONAL thing last I checked. WTF!? Out of all the NG April 1st pages though, I enjoyed this one the most. Looking forward to next year.

No more China approval?
Great shame upon our ancestors!

Yeah, I was April fooled at first. Nice!
I can't believe some of the hateful and militant responses that were being posted. Freedom of speech really is a double edged sword.

Wait, the layout and text alterings etc was not a joke...?

Also, just because the Australian government is trying its own web-filter does not mean Australian citizens agree with that... unless a member of Labour party from Australia PM's you a message like what you just showed, you cannot say "This one is especially ironic because Australia is experimenting with it's own government-run web filter" because that Australian probably does not agree with the web-filter process.

And I repeat, the layout and text alterings etc was not a joke???

Seems we will have to wait longer.

I actually did too, and I thought those posters were actually Chinese people but for a joke he banned everyone else by IP banning. I first looked at the design and thought "April fools" but I thought it was just the layout that was for the April fools - I didn't realize China was still blocked until I read Tom's post. I was thinking "So this is how Tom welcomes the Chinese..."

The layout and text altering was hilarious. I loved seeing people's posts without the word 'a'.

Also, I know people have asked you this before, but were any of those PMs actually real, Chairman Fulp?

oh yeah, just like what i said dude.
not funny
that was too much, even for april fools

Eh? "Who cares about China?" did that dick say?

I thought Newgrounds was Everything For Everyone?

Well, at least Newgrounds gave it a shot. Too bad China has got such a cunt of a government.

This is seriously nothing to be joking with.
I'd wish I could hire some professional... cleaners, but the Chinese Gov has probably monopolized them already anyway.

I can't believe you thought about selling out like that! If the Chinese think this is too much for them then fuck them.
All your members love Newgrounds exactly the way it is now.

well, im glad, the china thing was destroying Ng :/

Ya know... Newgrounds isn't blocked in India at all and you probably have tons of fans here (including me) and we're the 2nd most populated country in the world next to China. So cheer up! Maybe being blocked in China ain't so bad ;-)

so funny.

i didnt even know what apirl fools day was. :S if i had known about it then i would have been rather passive. and why is ng being blocked in china anyway? because of communisum? and removing the blogs, audio portal and the flash portal would removing everything that ng was made to do. good thing it was a joke.

great prank, would get fooled again! 5/5

I am an American, dumbass

Then you're UNPATRIOTIC, GO BACK TO COMMY CHINA!

Wow, you're dense. It was a joke, numbnuts. Are you really that stupid or are you goin to school for that?

I still can't believe you idiots fell for it. The same people who told Tom to fuck off might be posting here saying "Haha, good one you got us".

Bunch of smug, uptight retards.

OMG

Here's a little recap on the Rules of the Internet:

Everything that's announced on April 1st is an April's Fool joke. Always. -ALWAYS-
I can't believe people actually fell for it. I can't believe people actually got pissed over it either... ze gullible masses!

Tempting, TEMPTING?!? How could you have been tempted to take out blogs and the flash and audio portals?!? That just shows your greedy...sickening. Think about it, deleting blogs and the flash and audio portals?!?! China is a greedy wasteland...

HEllllllllllllllllll yea
capitalism IS awesome hahaa

way to stick to your principals. Unlike those bastards at google at least you understand the importance of freedom of information on the internet. While I support the ideals of communism, "being a member of the north-eastern communist society," I feel that china has gone awry. So grats on sticking to your ideals
