You are not allowed to punk important people, like me.

MacAllister, Medievalist and so on - they're all fair game. :D

AW. A very nice place!
last April Fool's was a blast. The Mods switched lots of members avatars so nobody knew who was who :-D

Not much, actually :D Most of the threads you're seeing were instigated by MacAllister or mods.

As long as you make sure no innocents get hurt, April Fool's is fair game. Obviously.

I'm not sure scarlett's going to appreciate you imitating her like that.

Unfortunately, we do occasionally get real posters like that. They don't tend to last long, unless they're long-time members who are lolcat fanatics, in which case, we have a whole thread full of that sort of txt spk.

As for the usual April 1 prank the mods play, I've got my avvie saved to photobucket. They can kick me, but I won't stay down for long. :D

Well, no matter how many joke threads there are, you can be sure I will be there, earnestly trying to help out the clueness newbs and telling the trollish ones to watch out before they get banned. I'm super-gullible on April 1st, but at least I have a sense of humor about it. :D

We do have to be a little careful. A couple of years ago well-intentioned April Fools hijinks really upset some people.

i saw some of those posts, the ones yelling at the mods. "How could you have not helped those people like that" and "did everyone go crazy yesterday?" and etc.

the problem i have with lolcatz is that i had to eradicate them from my writing last year so i could start learning to do it right and funny enough, i cant do them any more.

It upset some people last year, too.

I'm very sorry Stew. None of us intended that.

Should we maybe coordinate to use a special font color, or sig or something?

I hate the idea of causing distress.

Ah, I think they've all gotten over it reasonably well, Lisa. and maybe they've been cautioned now to mark the date for chaos at AW. ;)
