APRIL FOOLS

[nebbishatudub 1]

Great April Fools day prank guys. Had a mild heart attack as I logged in this morning.

Keep up the good work... I didn't notice it was fake until I noticed the incorrect zip (it was the general DC zip as opposed to my actual one).

[Sir Gawain 1]

Yeah. I live in Normal IL, not Bloomington... oh crap. Now where am I going to get 288,613 party hats?

[Kevin 101]

Since this thread was posted first, I'm sticking to this one... sorry hal

Great prank dirk, though I have to say that before I read it I started to feel really special since my avatar was so prominently featured. Then I read it and got the joke

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Rofl, brilliant prank. For a moment there I thought I was the only victim, but it obviously shows everybody their own avatar and email.

Really funny stuff.

Joke!? I just booked my hotel and flight!

lol I freaked out too when I logged on! lol

[choco1 4]

Haha, that threw me off for a while before I figured it out! I didn't even remember that it was April Fool's Day! Haha, just a mild heart attack..

Still, those internet location things always seem to think I like in Geelong, which I don't. I guess that must be my server location or something.

[CityNut_607 5]

good one dirk!

[Jman47 0]

[Haljackey 17,310]

Gah nebbishatudub you beat me to making a thread by 2 mins.

Happy April Fools everyone! Let's hope that computer worm is a joke as well!

[Porter 68]

LOL!!!

I nearly was about to freak since I'm out of town on the day it says.

Anyways, excellent prank there.

[skyliner22 16]

LOL knew it was a joke when it said I lived in Palo Alto. I live in San Francisco!

[masochist 111]

LOL...strange thing that made me immune to the joke: I cleared my cookies before I went to work, and I got back at 12:00 a.m. CST. I saw the topic "APRIL FOOLS!" on the forums, but I wasn't logged in, so I thought Dirk had already taken it down. Then I realized that I need to log in to see it, so I did, and I did. I got a good laugh, but none of the shock...

The April Fools joke was ruined for me because I had no cookies. Damn....

[Haljackey 17,310]

So... I logged in just after midnight and got this:

Nice one dirk and the staff! It caught me by surprise!

[Explodingsims 3]

Whew...I thought I was the only one affected by this.

Then I:

A. Noticed the date

B. Saw that others had their own info pop up.

[Meg 368]

Sorry, Hal. This thread had already been started so I merged them

btw: Party at my place

[Livin in Sim 83]

Awww, man, too bad it really isn't at my place. I had called the Buranski Brothers, since they owe me for getting them the Banner Convention. They agreed to come, and bring lots of fireworks. Man, are they gonna be mad. And you don' wanna tick off the Buranski Bros. Hope I survive til April 2nd..

At least I had a good laugh at the end of my life, Dirk.

[patfirefghtr 160]

heehhehee OMG that was a fracking good one!!! I died and I was about to report it saying umm I never planned anything with anyone lol.... I wasnt going to be nice about it either lol.... But Hey I wouldnt mind having a convetion in at least my right town and zip lol....

Again that was a good one too bad Tomahawk aint my home town its Rhinelander

[buildsolid 4]

Ha ha good one, totaly freaked out, then i thought could have bought some excitement to Perth!

[GuyverScythe 1]

Oh... man. That was awesome. I haven't logged in in about a month now. I knew I had missed a lot, but hosting a party... Well, I live right on top of "Oaksterdam University" in Oakland, CA, so believe me, it would have been a good party!

[Jezus53 18]

I guess I live in Oakland now! haha, that was a good one. I didn't even notice it when I first got here. I was the same for so long I just sort of skipped it. But then I saw the twiter thing and was like what? Then I went "Sweet, I've never been to an online convention...or any type of convention before. This should be...wait, at my house? uh...in Oakland...I don't live in Oakland...right? " haha, fun stuff though. Dirk, you are one awseom dude.

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Pity the world is so 'big', an ST convention party would actually be pretty damn interesting.

[jacqulina 162]

april fools thats a gd one on front page lol

[JanYpe 17]

Nooo, I only have 15m² and I´ll never find enough chairs for all the guests.

Oh, april fools. I knew that.

[Firebird 40]

ROFLMAO, i got the convention twitter to my phone this morning and i just had to sign on to see what it was really about. XD

Nice work, Dirk. Very nice, i nearly fell out of my chair when i had logged in from suprise... the site knowing my city and zip code really helped aswell lol.

[maikeli.1 12]

okay you got me

[Dargor 17]

This is a terrific joke! Very, very clever. My compliments!! My first thoughts were:' "OMG, what the hell is this?", then I wondered how I am going to place 100.000+ people, just before I realised it was April 1st...

Brilliant!

[Terring 6,473]

Come to Hellas, the best nation for the best parties

Too bad that my home is too small

[EmergentFungus 29]

Beautiful and Sutton Coldfield, west Midlands don't really belong in the same sentence.

[Venitius 0]

I was eating toast and drinking tea when that came up.....I almost choked. I then realized that the adress was wrong and I saw that post on Simtropolis' Twitter, then realized what the date was.....

Good joke!

Also, my home town ain't beautiful: there's an oil refinery nearby.........
