I believed it until I looked at the date, so this morning. Then I just tired to keep people from spoiling it after that.

I found out at about 1:30 or so. Since I've found out I've been reporting people's post who were getting suspicious about it being a joke.

I was suspicious right away with it being April 1st. On page 14, I posted my new username: (nevermind) and no one answered. That started confirming my suspicion. I posted another suggestion and got a bit of attention. Then I posted something really suspicious and it disappeared almost immediately. I knew then that I hit the jackpot.

Me too.
