What's been your favorite Aprils Fools prank on BZP?
And it's not poll'd because member pranks count too.

I loved how they didn't do one that one year and we got part two this year.


Also that year I made that topic about certain members being part of that hacking group... lols were had by me, and everyone got mad.

Gotta love the Barbie prank. I had fun with that one. :P The 'Tufi Taking Over BZP' one was kinda lame, I didn't consider it all that amusing.

All the rowboats, in the paintings 

They keep trying to row away

And the captains' worried faces

Stay contorted and staring at the waves

 

They keep hanging in their golden frames

For forever, forever and a day

All the rowboats, in oil paintings

They keep trying to row away, row away

I guess it´s hard to beat VahkiPower, all later pranks have paled in comparison as it´s hard to do such a big prank. The Barbie fad was a pretty good one, though, as in that case the staff were the pranked. :P

The only one I actually remember is Tufi's takeover.

Yesterday was only my second April Fools' Day as a member, so...yeah. I thought last year's Barbie thing was pretty good, though.

The takeover of BZPower by Tufi was pretty cool that one year. That was... 2009, I believe?
I wish I'd been around to see Vahkipower; from the screens I've seen, it was awesome.

VahkiPower, or Cookin' With Makuta. XD

And I quite like my own prank, in which I switched out my own personality for my character Reichenbach.
In fact, it's supposed to last the rest of the week, so... I'll get back to that now.

I liked the Barbie one, but my favorite had to be the Batman prank. (I don't remember exactly what it was, but members changed their names to Batman-related names. Like Pirate Batman, for example.)

I wasn't around here then, but I think Vahkipower was one of the best.

Sadly, school and other forums are limiting my activity here.

If I'm not logged in and posting, however, I'll still have BZP open as a tab in Chrome.

The Staff Civil War was probably the most creative, due to the people that fell for it - but in sheer numbers, I'll never ever forget the outrage over the "removal" of COT and LGD. I fell for that one the longest before I realized that it was April 1st.

When they said they'd delete the LGD and CoT back in 2007. Man, I was so new back then, I fell for it like an acorn to the ground.

Interestingly, at the same time they released images for the Karzahni set. I thought THAT was the prank.

I throughly enjoyed the prank where they removed Completely Off Topic and Lego General Discussion, especially when they extended the prank to beyond April Fool's Day. It's too bad so many people got up in arms about it.

VahkiPower was also really great. I loved the board skin for that one.

I was about to say VahkiPower because it's so visually rememberable.

Then you guys reminded me of COT's removal. Oh man that was great. People went so legitimatley insane about it.

The CoT and LGD removal one really stands out as being hilarious. I feel like if I were more active in either one though, it wouldn't be so funny.

I believe that April Fools' Day was my third. I can't remember what was done for '09, I was around for it as a guest, I believe, but not as a member, sadly. =/ Wasn't a movie-name change or something similar to that?

I usually missed the April Fools' Day jokes, as I was always too busy celebrating my BZP anniversary. :P Yes, I am a BZPower "April Fool".

I do like every BZPower prank for two reasons; for starters, I tend to never be able to pick favorites, and two I like something new every year I experience them, therefore each one is a favorite.

:kaukau: The removal of CoT and LGD are the only ones that actually stand out to me. I honestly don't remember any pranks. This one was at a time when I only ever posted in CoT, and at the time I felt too guilty about it to consider that the staff was only joking about their reasons for taking the forms away. Of coruse, it helped that it went on for several days and other people began to take it seriously as well. It was a unigue experience.

Well, I haven't been around long enough to know any from the forums, but I sure fell for the HFZPower/HF.fm BZPowercast April fools joke. It made me delete the note on my iPhone that was "get an account on BZPower". After I realized it was a joke, I quickly re-made that note.

Ka%27tru.pngBehold, Toa Ka'tru! Sprite made by Strack. Click picture to go to his sprite shop.  Avatar by CeeCee.

It was then that everything fit together in my head. The two clawed beast. The Two Claws. The dual-claw marks. That all was easy. Then I realized something harder to grasp -  because the beast was inter-phasal, it could also travel through time, to an extent. The Two Claws wasn’t fiction, it was true. There was someone else like me, in the past. I continued blinking rapidly and turned back to the beast.

“What do you want?” I demanded.

The beast stood up a bit straighter and looked directly at me. A terrifying voice came from it as it answered.

“You and the girl. Both. You are abnormalities and must be dealt with.”

I was around for VahkiPower (which I'll admit...I actually believed. :dunce: I actually didn't even realize it was an April Fool's Joke. I simply thought BZP got a makeover and a new name in celebration of the new '04 sets coming out or whatever.), and I think I've seen like one screenshot of KimPower. I don't remember any of the other ones, though. So I'll say VahkiPower.

The one that lead to a BBCC...because that was the one year the members pranked the staff.

For those of you that don't remember/weren't around, we were asked to build...what was it? the cutest Rahi we could? Yeah, I think that was it. Anyhow, it was intended as a prank, but so many entries came in on Day One that the staff turned it into a legit contest. And it became the largest contest in BZP's history that far. (And it was my first BBCC).

So we pranked them.
