bahaha. I had several moments of, "This is a joke, right? . . . RIGHT?" before I remembered the date today.

That post? A thing of beauty. *bows*
I was reading my flist in a state of deep paranoia, but even so you guys managed to sneak in a teensy bit of doubt. Well, until the final paragraphs anyway, where the last vestige of doubt was removed. :)

Nice one using German ;-P

Of course the problem with using German as a super seekrit code is, once someone starts talking in German, soon half the posters on any given thread will chime in (or so it appears).

That post is made of so much win... how [livejournal.com profile] burr86 talks with boundless enthusiasm about all the exciting changes their users will loathe with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

BWAHAHA

Thumbs-up for style and execution.

haha... we are having fun reading people's comments. There is much doubt in people mind's but they are so not sure. It's really been fun, esp yours =D.

I agree with using 'code' and then everyone who know it starts a convo in it. Happens all the time.

That's the only April fool's gag I've seen all day, because I live in a deep, lightless hole. :)

Are you gonna unscreen the rest of the comments for our reading pleasure? I wanna see what everybody else is saying.

[livejournal.com profile] 206_bones have done one. They left clues in the post, but people still fell for it. Very convincingly done. :)

What, [livejournal.com profile] news? Worry not, they fooled a lot of people. Apparently some deleted their first comments in a haste once they read the others. ;) I had that post on tracking for a brief while to amuse me, but it was too high-traffic.

Bwah. Here's one I just found in [livejournal.com profile] japanese:
Beginning Japanese ^^;
-Or-
"Sou, anata wa hoshi benkyo Nihongo desu ka da yo, ne ^_~?"

These people sure put some work into their pranks. I'm impressed.

*nods* of course! We wouldn't leave our members in the dark! Very soon when we finish editing our 2nd announcement and then posting it =)

Have fun =P

I can imagine that you had a ball putting that post together.
Yo what up internets... hee. One can't help getting flashbacks to a certain fäke band rapping about their PSP. Which I'm sure isn't entirely unintentional. Viral marketing gives me the creeps.

But this post had me giggling throughout.

Wow, but how on earth have you found this post, and so quickly... do you have a trackback tool at the [livejournal.com profile] news post, or is there some admin x-ray superpower which allows one to scan comments? (That would be wicked useful to have - ljseek is always days behind, unreliable, and it ignores comments, I think.)

I actually checked out links to the news post from http://www.technorati.com -- best way to keep an eye on everyone's reactions. ;)

Can't believe I didn't know Technorati does link searches. Thanks for the tip; not quite as cool as x-ray vision, but still coming in handy.
