April Fool's Day

I love my new avatar and was dreading the idea that some smart-ass mod might deface it in the name of April Fools. :D

I can't imagine anyone of Mac's minio mods behaving in such a cavalier fashion.

Were I a member with an avatar of which I was particularly fond, I would back it up locally and at Photobucket or some place.

Umm...we haven't actually planned anything this year, folks. Too many complaints, last year. <shrug>

I'm sure there'll be regular board hi-jinks going on between the members, though.

It's like you've cancelled Christmas :(

I pre-emptively changed my avatar just in case.

What??

No cool April Fool's theme?? No Steampunk?

WAHHHH!!!!

I know! It's like AW's turned into a dystopian wasteland!

*waits for Mac to announce the first-ever Writing Games with tributes from Romance, Horror, YA, Sci-Fi... the poor Poets won't stand a chance against chainsaw wielding zombies and ray guns!

Five genres enter, only one exits. :evil

You know--every year, the jackbooted ones tell us there will be no April Fool's celebrations this year. And every year, they still suck us in on April Fool's Day. So this year, it would be only fitting to NOT have April Fools as the annual April Fools stuff. Thousands of hapless AW members will spend most of their Sunday on the boards, anxiously trolling through the threads in a fruitless search for THE April Fools joke...only to come away as disappointed and dejected as Oliver when the porridge pot runs empty.

*evil grin*

Egads, what a great joke!

Are we allowed to make bets? I'm guessing ponies. Definitely ponies. :tongue

Cyia, you're hilarious. However, I note that you left out us M/T/Sers. I understand why, though. I mean, really. No one else would stand a chance against those of us who spend our free time plotting out new and excitingly gruesome ways to murder people.

I'm so disappointed. It's April Fools here and ...nothing. No Avatar tampering, no jackboots....Say it isn't true, Mscelina can't be right!:cry:

Does this mean there's no porridge? :D

Heh. It just means it's still only 5:23 pm on March 31st, where your server admins live.

Well, how about a Game of Throne banner since season 2 is tomorrow as well...

Or a lap/pole dance banner...

Either works for me...

Just passed my one-year anniversary last week.

Yep. I was an AW member for about a week, still shy about my non-writer status and uncertain about what was where and who was who and fairly unfamiliar with forum protocols, when the April First Steampunk Extravaganza happened.

Boy, that was one disorienting Saturday.

But exhilaratingly fun, and most people seemed to be enjoying it, and somehow the craziness encouraged me to look around at all sorts of boards I hadn't checked out yet, and lots of people were kind to me when I was a true newbie (hi, maxmordon!).

So, whatever happens tomorrow, thanks for last year.

Lol, I knew what it was right away. The text on the page it linked to was hilarious, though.

Not for use with personal massagers indeed. :D

That steampunk thing really confused me. Probably why I waited exactly a day after April Fool's day to join. Just to see if this site was really that weird.

Crap! Please don't let there be another test. :eek:
