April is around the corner. Whoops! I don't know if I'm the only one here who is excited and anxiously waiting for its first day – April 1st, the Fools' Day. Theymos had in the past used a few of such a day to prank the forum. We don't know if he will be at his element this April or just decides to go on a, "Advertise on this forum" kind of post on the day. By the way, my favourite theymos' prank is
[April fools] New new rank requirements. He really got a lot of us on that. It was barely a few months after the merit system was implemented and I guess that was why it got to many, irritatedly. There was so much wailing until people realised it was just a prank.
There was also
[April fool] BitRona Signature | M: 0.005 F.M 0.01 S.M 0.015 H/L.M 0.02 BTC/week organised by CryptopreneurBrainboss and that got a lot of attention as pay rate was really good. There was a maddening rush for the campaign hoax. Later, many; on realizing they were fooled, shamefacedly deleted their applications before OP edited and locked the thread. It was a real fun time. So, who is going to prank the forum this April?
Jokes are funny when they are pulled on others but not on us. The Will Smith–Chris Rock experience is still fresh. Though it's not what this post is all about, I just had to chip it in. It's the same way with pranks too. I've had a couple of offline pranks I pulled on friends and family, especially as a bachelor. Though this day, I seem to suck at it. Perhaps, the severe challenges of putting food on the table for the fam has deadened the once pranky and cocky boyish mind 🤔.
What's your favourite April Fools' Day prank in the forum or offline?
