I look forward to the creativity expressed through the April fool's prank put on by Trav and the rest of the mods every year. It's a tradition, and like all normalcy, I'm guessing it too has fallen victim to the expanding global pandemic crisis. I get it, although I'm conflicted between the need to retain our sense of humor through this time of uneasy uncertainty balanced with the need to keep stressors at a minimum, even if said stressor is indeed humorous. Maybe y'all decided that the prank would conflict with keeping access to information and communication open? For posterity's sake, what did y'all have planned for this year, and what was the decision making process around suspending it? Or did you just run out of ideas?

I was not here yet last April. I did not know that was a tradition. What’s an example of a prank from previous years? “You think that’s air you’re breathing?” -Morpheus
“Whoa fellas, I’m feeling kinda bowling ball-ish.” -Leopold Butters Stoch
It’s got what plants crave. -Brawndo
Magic is here for us all to feel. Naming it isn’t what makes it real.
Running around for us all to know, noticing isn’t what makes it so... -Avett Brothers

Did someone kiss you to turn you back? Or did you have to figure out how to smoke your own venom? “You think that’s air you’re breathing?” -Morpheus

My wife wouldn't come near me.My old, big dog gave me a couple of his stinky slurpies and ambled away. Didn't seem to help either. But next day I woke up on the floor, back to me again... It's hard to describe the pranks that can happen here. They are sophisticated. They are startling. They are great - Just like the Nexus! " Enjoy every sandwich." - Warren Zevon

Last year they turned the titles of all the threads to read "A Jar of Peanutbutter." You couldn't really browse threads that day! olympus mon wrote:You need to hit it with intention to get where you want to be!

Police invading the forum, harvesting pineal glands, fake posts from troubled new users. We've had some good ones in the past. I look forward to next year!

The questionnaire was an april fools joke turned into reality. I look forward to next year when a coronal mass ejection from the Sun wipes out the internet. The April Fools joke would then have to be in the telepathic internet created by people doing DMT/Ayahuasca.  From the unspoken

one year everything was upside down! If there is no learning, there is no change.
If there is no change, there is no growth.
Without growth, we will only stagnate and decompose.
