Better April Fools Pranks

All the good sites have cool pranks, scratch came in late and only affected the forums.

Here are some example of good april fools sites
http://www.newgrounds.com/ Turned into Kevin Bacon, all avatars change into bacon and every posts ends with bacon and words refering to people (ie, I,me,you,he) all change to Kevin Bacon.

http://www.reddit.com/
There is a turn on admin privileges option when you log in which gives you full fake mod powers

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml The cool new battle finder is a dating website

I think something like newground's prank would be good. Change all avatars to pictures of the scratch cat and put on a word filter that changes all verbs to "scratch".

Re: Better April Fools Pranks

Maybe we should form an April Fools committee to plan better events for next year!

Oh - Paddle, do Scratch Team people have to pay 99 cents per post?

Re: Better April Fools Pranks

I'm loving the newgrounds one, I looked at a bunch of reviews and my responses to the reviews on my songs and a bunch of words had been replaced with kevin bacon, it's pretty hilarious how well it works

Re: Better April Fools Pranks

Hmm....
I have a few ideas (some of which probably aren't a good idea):
-A you've been banned message JUST when you try to go to the front page
-All project thumbnails are replaced with waffles
-All text is backwards (not including projects)
-All front page projects are replaced with your own projects
-Zombies come out of the ground and say hello
-Replace all words with scratch (scratch scratch scratch?!?!?)

Seconded. XD

And when you click in a front-page project to comment, it'll show a big April Fools message. But users might go to their My Stuff page to comment on their stuff.  neutral
