[_-Captain BRM-_]

About page five I was totally falling for it, then someone mentioned something about April fool's and I was like OOOOOOO! I quoted them, and our posts were quickly deleted, I was told what was going on, and I reported everything about April Fool's and helped them out. Boy, what a good prank!!

You mean you didn't know?! I thought you knew like everything about BYC. I would've told you it was a prank if you would've asked me.

Yes I knew silly.
I knew after one split second that I had been fooled.

Loved it. Thanks for the laughs.

Yeah! I just read allbthe older ones and this one is my favourite! I believed it for a couple minutes too (and was very sad aboit my dear username!) until I remembered it was april fools. It was so believable, especially because I was on BYC looking for this year's April fools and I still fell for it for a few mins!

This was to funny.. I figured it out right after I posted my "new name" then I was like wait there are over 400,000 members that would be very difficult to change them all... I posted asking if it was April fools joke (in all caps) and before I refreshed the page it was gone thought I was crazy until I got thw pm telling me.

So of course I had to change my name a few more time like I couldn't decide what to change it to... to funny

Yes me too, right after I chose a new name!

Then started asking “real” questions, what will happen to my chat conversations, can I change my mind tomorrow….

Good one guys!
