I'm torn. I think it's really fun, but we're also a very serious project. So I gave it some thought and I have this idea...
Just for fun, why don't we have a game on Friday to create an alternative main page, linked from the main page? "Click here to see our April Fool's Page."
I missed Jimbo's comment first time around.
Just thought I'd say (because somebody has to) that that's the dumbest idea I've seen in ages. The whole point about April Fools is that it's supposed to take in the reader. Messing around like you suggest would be like going trick or treating with a baptist minister.
