I Almost fell for it… but I knew what day it was.
So I was pretty confident it was a Joke. Hence my “ “ comment. I didn’t want to be too obvious and ruin it for others.
I was thinking of commenting name suggestions of @Nottoday @Lookatthedate @weareallfools
But that may have been way too obvious

okay so how many of you had no idea? and how meany of you knew it was a joke(like me)?

I knew My first "new username" (YouDontFoolMe) was taken down immediately and I got the pm lol. I was helping report posts all day too. They all had to be so busy lol. Nice work @Nifty-Chicken , @BYC Project Manager , @casportpony and whoever else was working this!
