We are sorry to announce we are moving servers and need to shut down our forum section for 30 days.

April fools.

I thought the sticky might make it look more official.

It does, but I must admit that my first reaction was a rather mild "Huh, they sure have a crappy hosting service."

They shouldn't have had the april fools in the first post, it should have gone on all day. Then finally at the end we should find out.

If it hadn't said April Fools in the first post, I probably wouldn't have stickied it. I've had bad experiences with such things.

I seriously got scared when I saw this. Only for a couple seconds before I remembered the day, but I'm not quite sure how I would survive without Hatrack for 30 days. *shudder*

No AF note in post #1 would have been awesome... if not frightening. Although having that message come from a new member with (now) two posts would have been suspicious anyway.

Hey, Pop! If you don't let us know that its an April Fools', then people would fall for it more. Then they would post about "how can this be?" and stuff. :hides evil grin:

In order for anyone to think this thread is real before clicking on it, people are going to have to do some post-whoring to bump up its length. [Wink]

Clear!

(Phew! That was close! I actually saw a beautiful light, shining from the end of a tunnel, and was heading towards it when I got to the "April Fools" bit. I was snatched back from the brink just in time.)

My first thought was, and I quote, "meep!"

...I'd forgotten which day this is.

Since I didn't make it clear, and since some people seem to have missed Adminstrator's second post -- I didn't start this thread. It's not me who let you know it was an April fool's joke. I just stickied the thread.

Cute!

I wanted to cantor Lamentations. Oh, well, probably for the better, as I don't know the tune well. (Yeah, we Jews have a great way of singing almost the entire Bible according to another form of punctuation. [Big Grin] )

[Smile] The first thought that crossed my mind was "man is April going to be a productive month for me." The second was "I wonder if I'll come back after the month is up?" The third was "Heeeeey, that's not how you spell "administrator", quickly followed by a realization of what day it was.

Two things:

1) Haven't seen you in a while. Where you been boy?

2) I passed your post count. You've got nothing to brag about now.
