Thanks for the votes guys but I have a reputation to uphold. It would be cool if all my infractions disappeared though

FIRST TIME!!!
Every year I know what he's doing, ... even though some years if the gadget had actually existed, I would have purchase one... this year I fell for it.

Man.

I think a medal or trophy or something should be awarded. You got those of us that usually don't get gotten.

Well played, niffty, well played.

I came online yesterday just to look for the prank thread, and even with that, you guys almost got me. This may be the most believable one in my years here. Good job, everyone.

Same here! I looked all over for a prank thread, then saw this and got all serious....DUH! haha Good one Nifty, you got a lot of us for sure!

Oh, good, pressure's off. I looked for the annual April 1st prank and saw it right away. HA, term limits? No way Rob would be crazy enough to get rid of great moderators who want to do the job! Since no one is leaving, I may continue my pursuits at home and just enjoy BYC as a lowly member. Ivan3, John, this sometimes is a "roost too far", as you put it. It does take a special temperament to do this job and it's a learning experience throughout every day, and, in my opinion, changes you as a person overall if you immerse yourself in it over a period of years.

Well, Cyn, even way back, when you posted up that shot of your girls hunkered down, catching the rays, there on the steps of your back porch, you were an inspiration. Our chooks, up until that time, were pretty much prisoners in their run but for very brief and infrequent service on the "grasshopper gang". Cass called me over to look at that pic and, soon thereafter, we established a more extensive program of "work release". So, your hand revealed & appreciated even then (should be a "peerless" banner added to your others).

Nifty's April "fooling around"??? Got me good on the year of the "lost post counts". When that happens? I saved a shot (believe it was a pic of the week on an earlier iteration of BYC - would very much like to credit member who shared it) that is the physical representation of the "dread", (those who managed the EZBYC site managed to "lose" nearly ALL threads/posts that comprised the BYC Collective, so lost info, again? "Rob would never let that happen, but... Rob would never let that happen, but..., etc.) The dread and dreaded headed my way...

And so much for a clean house.

Those are overrated anyway.

Those are overrated anyway.

So so true.
Speaking of which, I need to get off here DH is on his way back home for a visit and if he sees the condition of this place, wooohwee am I gonna be grounded from you guys.

Just some spot cleaning today...everywhere.

again, congrats to my peeps and hope to get to know the rest of you guys too.

Well, you sweet thing, so happy to inspire you to start your own "work release program"! Mine love their free time, that's for sure. I just love your first picture! Wish we had grass like that, but, alas, living on a rocky, root-ridden mountain, not an easy thing to cultivate.

I think this year's joke worked quite well because it was so subtle and ultimately, quite believable. Good one, Rob!
