>THIS YEAR'S APRIL FOOLS JOKE FUCKING SUCK AND IT DOESNT EVEN WORK ON 70% OF THE DEVICESHow about we make our own april fools prank? /v/, give me your ideas and try pushing it to other boards!
>>736136365filter any and all inappropriate wordsno nigger no faggot no fuck no assso either you go along with it or you make up your own shitspeak like a purposefully mistyping retarduntil it's borderline unintelligible
>>736136365It's not a device thing, it's an it only shows up occasionally thing
I liked the "Epstein files random redaction" prank idea
>>736136487It still flippin sucks
>>736136529brilliant actually
4chan is dead and you're complaining about shitty April fool jokes?
>>736136529you are retarded and fucked in the head and with a little dick all the girls would never fuck you
>>736136568This just feels like GrapeApe is just trying to insult us about the whole Captcha thing rather than a subtle jab.
>>736136365>get it once>never see it againI wanna play who's that anime girl. Fucking hiroshimoot edging me like this.
>>736136365I still think this concept could easily work it they went all in on the pokemon theming and had you “catch” the captchas as you got them, putting a little counter for each new one you catch
>>736136568Nah its filtering the fucking tourists.
>>736136529>>736136434how about we redact everything so the entire catty is just pitch blaxk
I have deertranny fatigue.
>>736136810it's not filtering anyone because it doesn't fucking work, retardyou can just cancel out of it and still post
>>736136810tourists can just reroll the captcha since this shit only happens once in a blue moon
>>736136365>joke is its just a image captcha>clearly a shittier version of the "do a doom level" joke>doesn't trigger all the time>not board specific so theres random sports shit and /co/ characters>not even site specific because shit not really even associated with 4chan is thrown in like meme digital circus slop>also it doesn't seem like its programmed properly because people are getting jenny and "xj9" doesn't work>all of this is not actually visible to anyone unless you're screencapping it, at which point you can just make up literally anything anywaysthis is the dumbest april fools ever and I wouldn't even know it if I didn't get one singular image captcha with kyubey
The moment put in charge of 4 this went to shit
test
>>736136953>this is the dumbest april fools everHow easily you forgot 4chan GPT
so just put everything you say in a spoiler
>referencing dogshit post normalfag internet invasion sewage that should get you bannedit's official, mods are redditors
>>736137119jesus christ
it should have had the captchas be related to the board you're trying to post on.
/quebec/ but instead it's for jeets being flushed to /mumbai/ and they get increasingly smeared in shit the more they post in that board
i still see the old captcha
does anybody know what the criteria for getting easier captchas is? is it just number of posts, or does time play a factor too? i'm only getting the "hardest" set of captchas right now (triangle shapes, dots and lines, squares with lines) and i haven't seen a single april fools captcha yet.

>>736136365raope
Worst april fools since 4changpt. It's fucking nothing.
>>736136365whats the april fools about anyways?
>>736136365Janny sponsored ak-12 spam
This event is fucking dogshit with newslop and gachashit + it barely even works. Lame
>>736137548if you win the lottery you get a captcha that asks you a question related to a board you never visit, then since you don't know the answer you close it and get a normal captcha.
I miss Skelegang vs Dinogang
>>736136365Bring back gay ERP.I'll accept my prize now.
>>736136365>joke locked away behind captcha >lurkers unaffected should have made something more interactive than a meme captcha that appears once ever 30 minutes. shits fucking gay and dumb
>>736137415Not sure. I think it's a combination of time and posts. I got the hard set at first, but now i only have one set and it's just a simple shapes.
>>736137646>newslop and gachashitThis is what bothers me the most. I should not be seeing gacha and fucking post monetization made for profit Youtube "content" being referenced by the mods here.
>>736137673Its banned too now. Just accept that there is no more fun allowed anymore.
I wanted to try it out but it says verification isn't required, and that my post is considered spamAnd when I finally got a captcha it's the basic one
>>736138007same
i don't even think the captcha idea is that bad, this is just a terrible implimentation of it. all it had to be was exlusively captchas related to the board you're posting on, and you get one every post. then you watch and see which boards have the largest decreases in posting and laugh at them.
>lurkers are fucked>pass fags are fuckedsomeone coded this shit and not a single good thought went into dey head
nigger nigger nigger
>>736136487we'll make our own april fools joke with blackjack and hookers
>>736138136They do it for free
A random small emulator with a random rom booted up pops up and you have to actually play a video game for a whole minute before you can post
>>736136529the chanstein files. I love it
>>736136529just do it
>basic captcha>basic captcha>basic captcha>captcha not needed>basic captchaWoooooooooooow. Such April fools. Very amuse.
>>736136365This genuinely could have been the greatest prank ever if they played it straight and kept it board or at least keep it more 4chan-specific in particular.The entire joke would be that the board would become good because the laziest shitposters would just get filtered out. We could have had a new rennaisance akin to /v/ becoming the blue /b/ and the grand /b/ revival finale that followed last year.But no, they just had to halfass this shit. Fucking cretins.
I wish we have emote back
>>736136365>Get jumpscared with an april fools captcha >Hit cancel >Get normal captcha>Continue posting>Verification not requireHow do I opt out of this tard shit this isn't entertaining.
>>736136529It sounds way better than this lame excuse of an event.
>>736136365kind of midis it some sort of captcha thing?
>>736136810It's actually not.You can cancel it, clear 3 challenges like usual and post.
>>736138469>and kept it board or at least keep it more 4chan-specific in particular.*and kept it board or at least more 4chan-specific in particular.
>>736137415Cookie has to be one month old
>>736138481I wish they would automatically jumpscare people who type the n word.
>>736136810it didn't stop me at all >>736138564it doesn't even trigger half the time
>>736136365>How about we make our own april fools prank?This exact same April Fools but, instead, you can't cancel your captcha once got and refreshing the page will still give you the same captcha.Getting the captcha wrong will publicly shame you with something "Newfag award : Doesn't know Moetron" or "Get out of /jp/: Doesn't know Cirno/Marisa" etc, and even list all the captchas you've gotten wrong. Those who have gotten theirs right will be awarded by something good, and captcha will get harder each captchas you've gotten right. This is such a half assed year.
they just keep getting worse every year
Mfw disappointed
>>736138136>only shitposters and spammers get to have funit's not fair
>>736136365April Fools is up? t. phoneposter
>>736136529> as the day progresses more and more of your posts get redacted until 90% of all your text is blacked outWould have been mildly funny
It's still March. I refuae to believe this year's is a shitty captcha.
>>736138590Honestly i dunno why i keep expecting mods to actually do a straight up screamer prank one day. It would probably be lazier than this but it still feels wrong there hasnt been one.
>>736138716Yup, it’s just very infrequent
>>736136365>get Griffith once>after many tries I get the regular captcha not even the aprils fool oneJFC
>>736136568genuinely the stupidest fucking 4chan april fools they've ever done. 2018's remains undefeated
>>736138747We can still get a Special event like last year
>>736137673Nice attachment
I was out gambling, what's the joke even?
>>736136365kOK WHAT
>>736138747It's over
lol
>>736138842The entire site
>>736138265>>736136529the moot files
>>736136365What pisses me off the most is that if you fail the April fools captcha, it just gives you regular captcha after. So you can just completely ignore it anyway.
What is the prank even about this year?
>>736138975You, you're the prank.
>>736138842Unfunny captchas like "what is the name of this character" that you have to type in or "which of these does not belong" and it's bunch of space marine chapter emblems.But 90% of the time you just get normal captchas or are not even required to do either.Just or this post I did not need to do any fucking captcha!
I genuinely don't see anything, what is the supposed joke?
I like the one where the boards were slowly killed off until only /b/ was left. Can't remember if that was last year or the year before.
Wouldn't it be funny if this is going to escalate just like last year and the one before, and after the frog finally gets boiled by the end of it we will have to win at fucking mahjong or defeat Christopher Robin to post?
>>736138967You can just cancel since it does the same exact thing
Testing to see if I get a special capcha... Nope
>>736138975Tl;dr this year's April Fool's joke is https://youtu.be/G6UydqWS01g?si=lQxnHyNegAH-umnj
I was expecting some sort of facial/ID scan prank since that's been super topical lately. It would have been lame as fuck but at least it'd be a joke about current events.How do you even make a prank lamer than this?
They could have implemented Homerun Derby as captcha. Been one of the most requested joke events for nearly 10 years
They could still salvage this april fool's if they make this captcha add-on permanentT. Misnamed megumi as megumu.
>>736139001Yeah I'm not sure if it's because I haven't restarted my browser or something but I haven't even gotten the new captcha. It's nice since this shitty website for nearly an entire month made it so I'd be rangebanned for the entire fucking day, had to make a burner proton email just to post half the time. Less annoyance is all I want.>>736139068>implying the same devs that made a half-baked stockmarket that did nothing or fucking 4chan GPT.
>>736136365Sure what do you have in mind
I don't like this joke
which April Fools events do you prefer: ones which completely alter board and posting dynamics (board mergers, board shutdowns, candy competition) or ones that are basically background noise (captcha change, crypto market, posts marked as AI)this is an (un)official survey
This year's would be better if you get an instant 3-day ban for filling in the captcha.
I say we make our own april fool by posting Miku.
>>736136365Split boards in half, like /po/ going from papercraft & origami to "/pa/ papercraft" and "/or/ origami," /s4s/ splitting into "/sh/ shit", and "/4s/ 4chan says"
>>736139193The first one obviously
>>736139178>Sure what do you have in mindOne that actually had a visible change to the website and actually fucked around a bit like the board merges.
>>736139193Total chaos.
Oh.I just got it. That's it? I stayed up for this?
>>736139193the former 100%
>>736139068>win at MahjongI'm here to be your champion
>>736139228>/vi/ - video>/ga/ - games
works on my machine
The real prank was the "brief downtime" message. The shitty captcha addition was just the punchline.
>>736139279Saabaru-chan!!!!
>>736139228I dont hate this. It would be a bit awkward for /V/ due to already being split into a million different boards.
>>736136365They should make /jp/ good again for april fools
Confess your image board- and forum-related sins in the replies to this post.
>>736139193The former
>>736139193>>736139193ones which completely alter board and posting dynamics. these cause division and paranoia and those is what all tards on 4chan are really into. forcing small groups that normally stay apart to stay together is funny.
>>736139193The first one, these are always memorable as hell.
The biz shit was and still is the worst april fools
>>736137048It’s easy to forget desu
hmm not the greatest desu
>>736136529wut
>>736139228so would /vp/ get split into a board for pockets, and a board for monsters? would /vt/ get split into a "virtual" themed board whatever that would be, and the dreaded youtuber board?
>>736136434Tbdesu, you'd think the captcha thing would be the cherry on top of the actual april fools prank
>>736139338Hop in, we are making our own april foolsprank on the jannies and mods
>>736139193ones that completely alter the board and postings.
>>736139413that one had a graph; it isn't in the running.
>>736139413LMAOing at the baggers with my Mogul title at the end of it was fucking hilarious so i disagree.Wish it was actually influenced by the stock though.
>>736139413nah the boards closing was the worst
>>736136529would be funny but probably hit to close to home with moot being in the real files
First because most people don't even remember what happened if it's the second
we lost
I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING GET IT TO WORK!This year's joke should be that every post with an image turns into a random doro image.
>>736139193ChaosAnons wont admit it but last year is legit fun, we basically had a board battle royale
>>736139228What about boards that are only about one subject like Technology or Fitness? Do they stay the same?
>>736137673Honestly, I’d take that shit at this point, this year is just so boring that I’d take something I actively don’t care for over it.
>>736139551
>>736139480I can see it catching on desu
is there ak-15 in captcha?
>>736139562Leg day and arm dayHardware and software
>>736138820Something would’ve happened by now, yeah?
>>736139562Fitness -> fit + Loch Ness monsterTechnology -> hardware + software boards
>>736139551>>736139193/v/ becoming blue old /b/ was the best fucking thing to ever happen here, but the buildup to it was hilarious as well>The fucking panic immediately after /mlp/ has been breachedI doubt we'd ever get anything as fun again without it being a retread of the board merger for the third time.
>>736139635Just realized the captcha was "add a caption" I was wondering why it workedGuess that's a free answer for anons
>>736139068>beat Christopher RobinThat would be pretty funny Sam, but I already did that. I don’t have the strength to go through it again.
I finally got it to work, if you're getting a normal or no captcha make a post and then try again. They won't appear if you try to refresh the captcha over and over without posting. Guess that's one way to drive up posting traffic.
it should have been a zoomer text filter that basically strips vowels, repeating consonants, and adds inline emojis
>>736136365The problem is that you can get it wrong and still post, or just request a new captcha to avoid it outright And of course if your verification is not required you won't see it either To be funny the new captcha should be mandatory for every post and if you can't solve it you aren't allowed to post for a bit. Every one you get wrong you can't post for a longer period of time
>>736136365wtf is this bull shit
>>736137119We need to kill post-covid (post-2016 preferably) internet users, kill them all and have a cultural reset on the internet
>>736136365I didn't even notice anything until now
so was rapeape on the chanstein island?
>>736138226PLEASE INSERT GIRDER
I got one. Now I don't need to verify. Not much fun.
>>736139068Win at mahjong would be fucking kino, would finally get me to learn the rules of that fuckass game
>it really is just a meme captchaaieeee
>>736139193just give everyone the ability to ban people (with cooldown). 4chan royale
>>736139551it was so much fun
>>736139510Kek, forgot that one. The ensuing chaos was fun.
I got an SSR captcha, no need to be jealous
>>736139993what about ban evasion?
>>736136365test
events that usually result in off topic theads being spammed across the entire boards and/or involve users actively participating are the best ones. (candy princesses, covid, stock market, board merge)
>>736139193the former
>>736139441See >>736139338Simply spoiler random chunks of your post before submission.Attach a funny name if you so wish
worst one so far
>>736140497That would be less gay if all boards had spoiler tags but since they dont its pointless
>>736137673>hiromoot had the opportunity to make April 1st a slutposting festival>opted for the safe funny routeSad to see. Would've been the sluts E3.
trash
>>736140761That's where I'm hiding today
last try, im not sitting here doing fucking normal captchas for hours for a funny one
>>736136365remember when /b/ actually became usable again during the last april fools? good times

>you can just close out of the captcha if you dont get it and do a normal onecome on man
>>736136365nsfw loli allowed on every board, /l/ brought back.>how is that an April Fools prank?... It's April?
Wow, this sucks.
>>736139480An interesting idea Fuck it, let's go
>they didn't unleash every single previous event all at once during the 20th anniversary
>>736136365youre just mad you can't erp
>>736136953I didnt even get a special captcha, just the regular thing. is there something im missing.
>>736136529I can't play video games how do i believe you, are you really saying this is it - ???????
Word filter to tiktok speak. So "dick" becomes "dih", "kill" turns to "unalive", and so on.
anything but what we got. this shit sucks
>>736136365worst april fools so farthey keep fucking up year after year
>>736136568
>>736139750Did you do it without upgrades, as God intended?
Bring Board Mergers back. Genuinely the single funniest april fools gag in the site's history.
i liked the one year where the main joke was shit but a mod started doing a live lobotomy corp abnormality breach across multiple boards while the main joke distracted people
>>736136810Tourist here, I do not feel filtered
>>736137119>ohh look at me I hate the popular thing and refuse to acknowledge its existence, I'm so edgy
>>736136365what about an april fools prank where the mods actually do their job (lol) for a day and /v/ talks about video gameswould be fucking wild, I can't even imagine
>>736136767Making them collectible cards you can show off would work but as is it's just lame.
This is the best video game related oneyoutu.be/eioYulMp_5k
That's it? That's april fools?!AND IT'S NOT EVEN WORKING ON MOBILE!
>>736136810>filtering tourists for a single daywho gives, this shit is boring. if you fail it you'll get the default captcha after it
>>736136365Flags on all boards but your get a randomized flag for the day. This fucking sucks because there is nothing fun about it to share or shitpost about.
>>736139068>defeat christopher robin>after /f/ got frozen after the hackhownewru
>>736136365Keep the event as it is but if the april fools captcha doesn't work on your device you just can't post at all.
>>736136365just end every post with unc, that always pisses someone off
>>736136568Gay
Does anyone remember which year /a/(? maybe not?) had a picture of Samuel L. Jackson Naruto up top with the German Naruto OP playing in the background?
>got Jenny the teenage robot>typed "XJ9">invalidthey should of at least playtested these
>>736136365anomalies>every so often you'll trigger an anomaly>they can happen on page load, on post, or on thread/catalog update>some anomalies are simple, like an image display.>others are framed as entire AF gags themselves.>anomalies can last a few minutes, a few hours, until refresh, or will last the entire event.>idea is that users will bitch with each other and argue about what the event is or which anomalies are real/fake once the theme is figured out.>halfway through the event, the admins unlock an anomaly guidebook for everyone.>anomalies are added to the guidebook when found>anons can post their found anomalies as images, seeing the image will add it to your guidebook. the same anomaly cannot be posted twice in one thread.>you can (de)activate anomalies from the guidebook if you just want to see them in action for yourself (or get rid of an annoying one)>anomaly guidebook lasts a whole day after the event, to give anons time to fill theirs out.
is this jojo reference?
>>736139993At the start, each anon gets 1 ban vote. They can assign a max of 1 vote per anon. Every ten minutes, people get "banned", and prisoners get released. This is so you can taunt someone who is about to get sent to prison, or increase their sentence with more votes. Prisoners are the people who get banned. Prisoners get sent to a gulag "board" that unbanned people cannot post in, only watch. Of course, prisoners can only post there. Prisoners still get a vote button in the gulag, but it's inversed - it can get another prisoner out.Getting out of the gulag board is easy, but these are all synced with the 10-minute timer so that is your minimum sentence.>get as many release votes as ban votes>serve a sentence based on the ban votes you had prior>get dubs but only if you include "check em" in your postReleased prisoners will forever be branded as former prisoners, and it takes [2 * gulag visits] ban votes to send them back. Here is the twist I think will sustain it: they get [4 * gulag visits] bans to spend.I think to keep it interesting, several things must happen:>half or a quarter of posters start out gulag'd with random sentences>gulag and normal threads are visible on the normal catalog to both parties>you can write a ban reason for someone when voting>a random reason is chosen every time someone gets sentenced as their "crime">all of someone's crimes are visible as a list whenever they postI think everyone will eventually end up in the gulag as people who get out ban random people out of spite.
>>736143502god that would be kino
>>736143667no it just has a low chance to happenyou might see it every 30 posts or so
>>736136365works on my machine also it's a better form of captcha.
when I woke up today and got a Serval captcha I knew today was gonna be a good day.
>>736147595I'm imagining all the emergent behavior this could spawn:>resident shitposters get banned quick>threads that anons hate become ghost towns as they get dogpiled with ban votes>noooticers either rightfully spot or hallucinate that certain posters aren't around anymore>people trying to get into gulag so they can post there or save prisoners with their release votes>former prisoners get sent repeatedly because someone wrote "posts like a faggot" on their list of crimes>tunnel digging threads of people desperately trying to get dubs>the gulag becomes more fun at some point and people are genuinely sad to leave it
>>736147595>>736148008you should also link the post(s) that got them banned
