Yeah, I laughed, too. And then said, "boooooo!". But then I laughed again.

I'm still torn by this whole thing with Rev- but skipping any planned April Fool's gag doesn't seem like it will help with anything.

Is this some kind of April Fool already? We don't make a funny prank because someone made a "unfunny" one?

I only remember last years April Fools prank, and that was genius and in no way bad taste. Well, except maybe towards diaglo.

Moving this thread to Meta....

If you must do the usual April 1 tomfoolery...

Just please, PLEASE don't bring the Intellifilter back.

Also, I couldn't care less about Rev right now. I'm more concerned with the fact that I hear static whenever either of my hands is next to my right ear. What the heck?

The April Fool's Day prank is an EN World tradition and I'm looking forward to it as I do every year.

And what's up with all the people with low post counts suggesting such radical changes to EN World lately?

I think you're overestimating post count. According to his join date he or she has been a member of the community for a few years now.

Not a fan of the April Fool's stuff but I see no reason to stop it.

OK, that idea went over like an adamantium balloon. I officially withdraw the suggestion.

I have faith in the staff here. This is one of the classiest forums around, thanks (in large part) to the professional caliber of moderation. That said, I think a measure of caution is in order. I saw some real pain in people's responses to the whole fake coma business, and urge the staff to keep that in mind when they devise their April Fools prank. That's all.

Oh, and I am sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

I think post count does play a part here, albeit a small one. People who read a very large amount of threads and never post are rare. Mostly a person with low post count just isn't an active reader or writer in forum topics. I only read the ones that interest me, and I usually reply to them at least once. But I skip over the larger part of the threads here. I just don't have time to read every topic anymore.

A bigger indication of someone's investment in the site is their status as a community supporter and/or staff member. And everyone's opinions matter and should be heard--not based on a statistic like post count but discussed in an unbiased manner. Whether or not you choose to be swayed by a person because of their community influence is up to you. I, for instance, heartily endorse anything Rel says, because he's sexy.

Yeah, my comment about post count was way out of line. I'm truly sorry, Zelligars Apprentice.
