Spongebob was my first April Fools here on DTF (what a noob) but I did like the Spongebob more than this. It actually made me smile. I'm ready for the black DTF back - much more comfortable to look at. but still good job mods/DTF.

Status of this 4/1 prank on other boards:

So people on MP.com seem to have thought this was pretty funny. 

Neal Morse's forum is really slow, but the few people that have posted in the thread there  have given favorable responses.

Marillion's forum, unfortunately, does not allow posting of images, so I think the thread loses a lot of impact there.  Also, it got moved by the mods to a different forum than where I originally posted it. 

The Flower Kings forum:  People there seem to like it.

Post by: rumborak on April 01, 2010, 10:10:17 AM
I see, the rebels are in the Marillion forum. It seems we will need to demonstrate the power of this station, prepare the death star.

Steve Hogarth: They're on the Neal Morse forum!

DTF: The Neal Morse forum is too remote to make an effective demonstration. But don't worry. We will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough.

Our scout ships have reached the Meniketti Forum. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding forums.
