Rarity Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) 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.

Peach 00 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Gotta love the Barbie prank. I had fun with that one. The 'Tufi Taking Over BZP' one was kinda lame, I didn't consider it all that amusing. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Gatanui Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) 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. -Gata Edited April 2, 2012 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Eeko Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I honestly can't remember which ones I was here for, and which ones I've heard about. :PThe only one I actually remember is Tufi's takeover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBBalta Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yesterday was only my second April Fools' Day as a member, so...yeah. I thought last year's Barbie thing was pretty good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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.-ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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.)

Sumiki Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

Phauxx Lightning Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I wasn't really around for any of the pranks. Judging for what I know, VahkiPower did seem pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

Ektris Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

Cederak Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The CoT and LGD removal one really stands out as being hilarious.

Meiko Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I usually missed the April Fools' Day jokes, as I was always too busy celebrating my BZP anniversary. 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.

Jean Valjean Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 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.Your Honor,Tyrannosaurus Kraggh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopekemaster Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 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. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)

PutYaGunsOn Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I was around for VahkiPower (which I'll admit...I actually believed. 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.

Zaxvo Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 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. Quote . {Z} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
