April Fools!

You have a DSi? *is jealous* Gah, two cameras.....two cameras...

Did you see YouTube on April Fool's? The videos played upside down. xD I actually like it better that way, now I always add '&flip=1' after video URLs to flip them.

My friends also made an AIM screenname and attempted to bombard me with messages and confuse me with it. xD

Nothing happened. The closest thing i've done of late is post a continuous flood of spam at hannah montana forums... I don't care how many of my profiles must be deleted... if it's for the cause of anti hannah montana lol

(Hi everybody, yup, I'm still alive up here! )

Well, I did terribly on April Fools, actually... I'm way too gullible.

All the jokes played on me were over the Internet, since I'm on vacation so nobody could trick me offline. On the *mysterious other forum I'm part of*, there was an announcement that the forum was going to be sold over eBay, and a link to an eBay auction set up for it! I didn't actually fall for that one, but apparently the bidding on the place got up to 2550 pounds before they pulled it!

Also, underneath everybody's names was a little thing that said "**BANNED**", which momentarily confused and freaked me out. Many of the board names had been changed as well. One's description had been changed to say that it was for posting Sports Illustrated swimsuit photos over and over again.

What really got me was one person who claimed they were getting to interview Ringo Starr. I totally fell for it... though, in all fairness to myself, it was still March 31st for me. (Darn Australians and their later timezone! )

Yeah, so that was me in all my gullibility. (In fact, I changed my name to Hapless Gullible Fool for a bit to commemorate my gullibility.)

Well on another website that I visit, there was an announcement on the main page that it had been hacked and that the hackers demanded $40,000 if the website was to be put back up. Turns out it was all just an April Fools joke by the admin...but I fell for it. Hook line and sinker.

Yeah, but normal people can pull them too. In fact, sometimes it's easier for normal people, because everybody's expecting the webmaster to do something. (I was pretty surprised when there was no joke here, to be honest.)

(I know I do, haven't read it yet due to the fact that I'm still in Canada. Will be home tomorrow, and should have time to read and review either then or the day after. )

See, the advantage you Australians have over us North Americans is that while it's April Fools for you, it's still March 31st for us, so we're not yet expecting anything. I probably wouldn't have fallen for that thing I did fall for if it hadn't been an Australian guy pulling it, and so when he did so it was still the 31st for me.

Livy, was that twilightsucks.com, by any chance? xD Because I think they had a hacker prank on the front page too.

Eh, I think April Fool's is a silly holiday anyway. 'Sbetter to prank people on some other random date...that way, they have no idea it's coming.

Yes, yes it was. I was in a panic for a few days then I remember...April Fools. And I agree, I always prank people on some other day. Like at the beginning of basketball season I told my dad I was quitting basketball to do cheer and he freaked. It was hilarious.

If you highlighted the front page, there was some little text near the bottom that said something like 'Happy April Fool's from the admin!' Hehehe, I didn't think that site could be hacked very easily. xD

I usually enjoy pranking my friends on April 1, but sadly I let this year go on without anything overly exciting. I can't believe I missed out on the upside down YouTube videos day.

My 'prank' for April Fool's day, since I'm a well-known prankster at my school, was to tell everyone I had a huge prank planned....then not actually do anything. xD Haha, the poor fellows were looking over their shoulders the whole day. Gotta love being paranoid.

Hahahahaha, oh my gosh that's absolutely brilliant! Love it! XD

*makes mental note to be wary from now on*

Being homeschooled i never april fool'd anyone but i learnt about it at regular school around 98 i think... always wanted to fool someone. Then again my mastery of deception has grown beyond silly pranks and i can quite convince somebody of something subtly.

Eh, pranking people online isn't nearly as fun anyway. You don't get to see their reaction, or experience the thrill of running from them once they've realized what you've done. xD

remember that Simpsons episode with Bart pranking Homer?

Sadly, no, as I'm not familiar with the show. Perhaps you can enlighten us. xD

Well Bart plans a really good april fools on Homer after Homer does heaps on him, so he shakes up a beer and freezes it. Then he turns up the thermostat so Homer wants a beer. Homer opens the beer and it erupts. He is in hospital for the rest of the episode and theres a funny scene where he learns to walk again by looking at a candy machine.
