thnx :)

From any thread listing, put your mouse over an angryfaic emoticon and wait - you'll heard the audio, but the animation isn't showing up like it used to.

HAHAHA awesome, it works fine in IE, but it does not in firefox 4. Please fix it :):)

Well, you people lose and i win, i didn't even look, so i came closest to finding the secret.

Successful troll is successful. But anyways, I kinda guessed it but decided to look anyways, so ya got me. But it was funny nonetheless. And i couldnt hate youu. Unless you banned my account.

Please dont. That was just a joke.

Im sorry for anyone i strung along, my job was on the line.

Man I sure hope we don't.

that's very reassuring, tom.

Lol.

Amazing how so many people still fell for it. I thought about 90% would immediately think the whole contest is the prank and hardly anybody would bother looking.

Not the best Aprils fools joke I've seen here, but it was definitely a successful one. And in fact, I don't we've ever had this many people falling for the Aprils fools joke in the past. So well done staff!

Was the prank Bizzarro Tom on the staff, or has that always been there?

Oh the hatemail...it's fun to think the people that were disgusted by Club a Seal and Assassin back then are probably playing Castle Crashers with their friends or kids now.

I knew it was a joke all along...

Only if we can get to that redesign soon! Do you have a launch date for it? Even an optimistic one?

Oh Tom you cheeky Bastard you.

My dissapointment was that I had just told my little brother how awesome Newgrounds got on April Fool's, and was excited to show him. And I only found ... nothing.

was this because you forgot on march 31 that tommorow was april 1st?
if not then what the hell?!

What's even funnier than the amount of people who fell for the prank is the amount of people posting in this thread and asking "Is this the prank? [insert idea]"

Tom check your pm from me. I JUST FOUND THE SECRET SECRET!

LOL if i think about it now .... If im the first one who found the secret secret ill get the secret 250$ ! If not ill just know what is the secret when Tom read my pm.

tom leaping on your bed is considered a bad dream?

Two out of five of my guesses were featured in the first post. At least I was able to squash a few bugs while looking.

The community seems to be divided on the success of the joke. Although many people thought that the joke would be that there was no joke, a large number of people looked for it anyway. The real success of the joke was that people continued to post well after April 1st in order to guess or speculate about the joke. People would have still been posting for at least a week if the joke wasn't revealed.

Hey Tom... I don't hate you at all. I thought it was funny. Come here. Give me a hug. I love you. Let me smell your hair.

Ouch, harsh. How many people sad that by any chance?

I feel so betrayed. When I first read this post I was kind of thinking that you were joking and that there actually was a joke. I didn't look for it that much, but I was hoping that it actually did exist and it would be hilarious like Mockery said in the last topic. Did you actually talk to Mockery about this though? God damn it you guys. I'm so disappointed right now. But I still love you Tom. Waiting for redesign, Pico 2, and BattleBlock Theatre.

Although Pico 2 probably never existed either. LOL

Well at least igot over 5000 people with my prank:
Girls Ass

Lol, I guess the prank is on us. Since no one found it, you get to keep the $250.00!
I'm slightly jealous but I will get over it. :D

so whats the april fools thing then?

So, even though I PM'ed you the right answer. I get no price? Sheesh... What a douche... Lol nah jus' kid. We still have that wonderful love/hate relationship with you man.

im pretty sure the prank is that he did nothing and sent us on a hunt to look for something that isnt there.
