I don't like April Fools Day.

I don't like April Fools Day. It's my least favorite day of the year. I was thinking of a idea last night... Since I never go on Scratch on April 1st because of the jokes, and find them not very funny AT ALL, can there be an option to "opt out" of April Fools Day jokes?

Maybe a little Javascript that would comment out designated "div" tags would be nice. It would make me want to go on Scratch again.

Thanks!

bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.

Re: I don't like April Fools Day.

What's the big deal? Most of this year's pranks were just replacing text with nonsense (like the word "you" becoming "pikachu". It's just a little light hearted confusion, and an opt out system would take the fun out of it.  tongue

Re: I don't like April Fools Day.

But it's my favorite part of my birthday watching others in confusion!

Anyways, just don't go on Scratch for that day then.

Re: I don't like April Fools Day.

But what's the harm in A Bunch of Fluffy Kittehs changing some of the text?  I think that Pikachu are overreacting.   smile

Re: I don't like April Fools Day.

I wish that we would be told about the jokes. I was reading a tutorial and every time it said pikachu it was really confusing. "Hi! How are pikachu?" That just makes you look stupid.

I like the jokes, I think that they are awesome. Just ignore them or don't go on Scratch.

Why are people actually fisically changing "you" to "pikachu" when it's not even April fools day? I am not amused nor tricked.

Come on, try Broadcastic OS 2.0. It has 3 editions for businesses, media, and home. Also, there's Broadcastic OS Metro Edition Release Candidate.
