By the way, the real prank at the wiki was NOT that the site had been shut down (which was kind of an afterthought). The REAL prank was something more subtle (has it been mentioned in this thread?). And yes, anything we did this year was going to be lame compared to last year. Maybe we should have started out smaller in '06 and built up. Alas. (Well, we did have one idea that would have topped last year, but at the expense of really messing up the database, so ultimately we didn't go with it. Maybe you'll see it someday if we can figure out how to make it feasable.)

Maybe the prank is that there IS no prank....

*brain breaks*

EDIT:lol, already found it. That was pretty subtle...

Google's prank - the Toilet ISP - might have gotten more people if they had changed the $ to £ for their British users, especially since they linked to it direct from the front page of google.co.uk.

1/10. See me after class.

The joke will be on us when the wiki is still "down" tomorrow, and until they get the $1200.

We thought about that.

How about the way PBS does it? Give us 10 minutes of pro-awesome, then 30 minutes asking for money, followed by 10 more minutes of awesome.

Ah, pledge drive day on PBS. A time where I wished I could call and complain, saying "Where the heck are my cartoons?!?"

P.S. Wiki prank was the pwn. You actually scared me with that front page. I was all, like, "Noooo! It can't be true!"

Didn't quite notice it at first, but now I see the stripes more clearly.

P.S. Some guy on the wiki says there IS something on H*R, but you have to look carefully. I says he's lying, because I'm practically checking almost everything and there's nothing there...

When I turned my ZSNES emulator on, a message appeared sayin'
Code:
You have not donated today for ZSNES, you will now suffer the consecuences!
Press SPACEBAR to continue

I freaked out and went "OMG! ZSNES IS ONTO ME! SO LONG, KIRBY! I COULD NOT REACH NOVA! I NEED ONE MORE TREASURE IN THE GREAT CAVE OFFENSIVE!" I Alt-F4'd that thing, but then got curious and clicked the ZSNES logo again. The message said
Code:
Welcome to ZSNES! Did you now that half of the staff that created this emulator are fish?

THEN I looked at the calendar, April 1st = ZSNES' A.F.P. I rushed to the wiki to see if they had already submitted the A.F.P of H*R.com, which gave me the "Shut Down" greeting. I kinda got weirded out, but then I saw the "info" link. Meh, kinda nice prank, BUT WHERE'S MY H*R A.F.P!?
Man, too bad TBC didn't had time to do something, or something bad happened to some relative today and they rushed to see what happened. I don't know...

Or the fact that it's Sunday.

So?
Every (I think) April Fool's Day, H*R.com has a prank.
Whoa, posting this gave me a Dejá-Vú...

Are you sure you're not confusing that with what Dot Com said about there being another, more subtle prank on the wiki?

The wiki prank was okay, but I laughed more at the one on the fanstuff wiki forum. A "you have new messages" box on a forum. Funny stuff.

Guys, wasn't it around this time last year their dad, errm, died? Does anyone figure they might have not done anything because of that? :-[ I feel awkward saying that and all but that was my suspicion. I feel bad talking like that.

Give it some time, either way. I'm sure when they get back they'll do some silly "Homestar pulls an April Fools joke two weeks after April Fools without realizing" cartoon or something. That seems like something they'd do.
