Good forum April Fool's jokes?

What would be some good forum April Fool's jokes?

Here are some I thought of;

Locking random threads for made up infractions (not serious threads though)

Fixing the software so it will not post the letters N or T

Making up crazy new rules and posting them and saying they are going into effect Monday

Bogus contest with unbelievably great prizes

Sending out bogus warnings to members.

Banning random people from here

Taking the forum offline

Doing crazy word filters.

Change logo and url to ProngPlanet.net and make the entire site a prong hobbyists dream come true

Put up a banner saying "Now funded by Autism Speaks" or something like that. Pretend that a huge donation was made by someone who the autistic activist community doesn't like.

Pretend that Temple Grandin is going to host a chat in the chatroom

Pretend that Johnny Depp is going to host a chat in the chatroom (that's just for me thank you)

I did quite a few April Fool's threads in the past. My most notable was when I was still married. I was on a mom forum and started a thread asking for 'advise' on how to tell my sterile husband I was pregnant. The regulars could tell it was a joke, but some of the newer/less frequent posters got pretty upset with me.

That's the last time I've done any April Fool's jokes on a forum.

Alex could win the lottery (398 million here) and claim he's going to share it with every member.

Troll the L&D forums...

I remember the April Fools threads that I've made last year. I look forward to making some more tomorrow.

Make a post confessing you are all these sockpuppets by listing WP member names and apologize for all the trouble you have caused and sorry for deceiving all of you and wasting your time.

Make a post confessing you are a fake and you troll disabled forums and pretend to have those conditions and apologize for wasting every ones time and lying to them for all these years on here. I did that joke here two years ago.

Change all the forum layouts on here and make it very hard to read the text here due to the color.

Make a thread at I2 and plan a troll attack for this forum and all the I2 members post in that thread and say what their attacks will be for here.

Banning me would be a good April Fool's Joke, only that everyone's subsequent celebrations would carry into the next day!

Forum jokes...that might be a bit tricky, I'm no joker

They could send out a message saying that they have to charge a membership fee now or request all sorts of personal information. They could put a link to the form in the PM and when you go there and after you put in all your info and click submit, it comes up April Fools!

Maybe Alex can completely rearrange the forum layout for a day and confuse everyone.

Move threads in the wrong section.

Make a bunch of whole new boards on here.
