Wow so we're not going to update the security so we have less trolls and instead the site trolled us. Bad form. Grow up.

Love it! Last year's sure got me excited though, man- I was really hoping for a Cafe!

So much fun! I was a little suspicious of it being on April First, but I still sorta fell for it. I figured out after posting my new user and asking if it was a joke. Admins did a good job of removing any comments that asked about it being a joke.

Me, too. I kept thinking, “It’s April Fool’s day. Yep, this is a prank. But, what if…” So I submitted a name, just in case.

PM one of the Admins. Pretty sure it can be done.
