Now that the day is almost over, I can safely say that this event did, in fact, suck ass.
How would (You) make a fun and interesting april fool's event, bros?

>I don't get to LARP as a redditor all day and beg for upvotes, this sucks
Fuck off

Every thread has AI generated replies.

I don't get why it kept saying I did the captcha wrong
Just before I got Senator Armstrong, put that in the field, and it was wrong apparently
Just then I got Fubuki, typed it in, "you have mistyped the captcha"

All text is spoilered, starting and stopping at random spots, by default.
A bot named Jeffery Epsteintron will randomly appear in a thread, kidnap several posters to his island, and they are stuck in a waiting room thread with him for 15 minutes where they can only post with each other.
A joke about ram being stolen so the site is breaking.
Miku takeover, basedjaks are allowed and every board becomes something like "Miku games, Miku comics, Miku anime"
>>
Random nouns are replaced with penis or vagina or boobs. It's a 1/1000 chance for every one.
>>
Does anyone remember /fk/ (for kids)? I remember it only had a single thread about bullying. That board should come back for april fool's.
>>
anything that doesn't turn the site into erp central is a win in my book
>>
Every 24 minutes a random 5-50 words are secretly designated as the 'special' words.
Any post that uses a special word gets blue text. If you use all of them you get gold text or some shit.
No explanation.

I would be curious to see whether Anons would be able to figure it out and I think it might be fun.
>>
>>736206678
Every board gets 4 threads on the catalogue at once, with one stickied continuous thread. threads will automatically die 10 minutes after 100 replies, at which point the last person to post in the thread gets to make a new one, and if they don't, then after a while anyone can make a new thread.
Say it's due to server costs increasing or something.
Alternatively, random pronouns in people's names.

literally just bring back board mergers

anons get randomly designated cucks and can only see the posts of themselves and other cucks, bvlls can downvote posts to hit a cuck threshold and other cucks can upvote posts to hit a bvll threshold where they change
cucks and bvlls randomly change every hour

>Captchas of le ebin 4chan maymays

>didn't even show up all the time-I posted almost all evening and got like 2 special captchas
>hardly needed to engage with it, newfags can just get normal captchas

It is actually stunning just how much this event shat the bed. I genuinely had more fun with the fucking emoji and stonk events.

>>736206678
Just rerun the candy event

>pressed CTRL-A on the page
nothin personnel, kid

>reruns
Fuck off. It's not a "prank" if you expect it or you've seen it already. Just because this one is bad doesn't mean reruns are good.
>>
>>736206678
Are you mad because it wasn't disruptive or are you mad because you're a fag that couldn't spam homoerotic roleplay all over the website
>>
>>736206678
The captcha joke was decent it just needed to be more common and should have actually functioned as the captcha for the day. It was kind of lame you barely even saw it and didn't really need to engage with it. Taking the piss out of the new captchas would have been funny, it just wasn't very well executed.

If it were me I would have reopened /qa/ for the day and simulated a sharty takeover of the site as a callback to the hack last April, but that's probably still a sore spot for the jannies.

Anything that makes you want to post or engage with others. Active participation is the formula to success for a great April Fools! That's it really.
>>
They couldn't do a funny commentary one because then they'd have to shit on the Iran War and the Epstein Files and this site is shadow-run by the US government specifically to radicalize dissent into tacit support of that shit and especially our incredible greatest ally.

>>736206678
agreed
