So no ones fun is being ruined except maybe yours, because judging from your responses, you expect people to keep believing this for who knows how long.

Not everyone reads the news articles from the front page. Many members navigate directly to the news section and read from there, so they would have seen your "It's a hoax, boo hoo" post immediately.

Please remember that members of EF are from many different time zones, and many of them were/are sleeping when this article was posted.
If your fun on April fool's is to decipher they jokes, why not keep it to yourself for a few minutes, rather then ruin the fun for others immediately??

Awww nvm.....Funny though - you had me going for a minute.....

In a way I hope ND didn't hear about this before - he'd shit himself once he read it

My attitude is not negative at all.

Not everyone uses the same setting for number of posts to display per page. Many members (including myself) have it set to 30+ posts per page, so post #11 is at the top of page 1.

In any case, I was just hoping the first several members to post in the thread would play along for the benefit of members who will read the thread later in the day.

Obviously, having the very first reply of

I apologize if my temporary deletions confused or upset anyone. My goal was simply to keep the first 10 or so posts free of "letting the cat out of the bag" too quickly, for the enjoyment of other members.

Speaking of which, is there any chance of getting option for over 40 posts per page?
