The very idea of trying to come up with an April Fool’s Day joke. Don’t you think you’re a little old for such shenanigans. I’m sure you have more than you can handle moderating (and I use the word loosely) **Cafe Society**.  
😛

Dang, I came to the Dope first thing this morning specifically looking for April Fool’s jokes, and I missed one?

Or this thread is the joke?

Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if that starts the next Big Deal on the SDMB. Hopefully he gets more than just a months suspension for _that_ stunt.

I can only give this one a C- or maybe a C, **Cajun Man**. Yeah, you got me, I actually searched for all the threads **CK** started, but for it to be a decent prank there has to some way for me look back and realize I could have known it was a prank. Seems reasonable to be that **CK** might made a prank thread.

Good practice though, maybe next year you can manage a B or B+ level prank… 😉

C’mon, **Cajun Man** , you got no sense of humor. It was only a joke, for cryin’ out loud! You didn’t need to delete it entirely. Coulda just closed it. Or moved it. Why are you always so damn serious? You’d feel better and they could probably loosen the straps on that white jacket, if you’d just smile once inna while.

Incidentally, [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1%2C_2006) has rounded up a host of today’s pranks online and in the other media.

You know, **C K** , some of us actually take this moderating gig seriously. If you just want to act like an immature asshole, maybe you should get a job moderating the Immature Asshole Forum over at Yahoo Groups. I’m with **Cajun Man** on this one, 100%.

**Dex** , use the freakin’ SHIFT key on your **brain** , man!

You think you can really get away with this? **Tuba** and **Lynn** are gonna be on your ass so fast and hard you’re gonna think you’re in a reducing salon, dude!

You’d better apologize to everyone on this board immediately. Via e-mail. Personally. This crap deserves nothing less.

Not just no, but hell know!

It was judgment call, and I did the only sensible thing.
