I didn't get fooled! Cos this morning my phone rang before I was even out of bed and it was BBS telling me about this prank.

Alcar 04-01-2005 03:02 AM

That's unfair. I'm still counting you as a sucker.

Alcar...

Hee Hee, good joke! You can add me to the list too:p I didn't even remember that today is April 1st.

Alcar...

I did not! I said, 'Oddworld forums is shutting down' And FG said 'Really?' And i said 'April fools!' so, Alcar, you can add him on the list.

Alcar 04-01-2005 03:19 AM

Woo hoo! More suckers! :D

Glad you all like it :p

Alcar...

Fuzzleman54321 04-01-2005 03:25 AM

Aw man! I have to admit, I was fooled. Add me to the list.

Kimon 04-01-2005 05:28 AM

Jesus, that scared me! God, I'm having palpatations. :p

dripik 04-01-2005 05:43 AM

Got me with that one. Nothing related to 'April 1st' happened today so I completely forgot it. On the list, I go.

Wil 04-01-2005 05:46 AM

Haha, suckers are so funny. Didn't believe it for a second.

Can I go on some kind of Elite List?

-Aquacid- 04-01-2005 06:56 AM

i knew before i even clicked the link that it was a joke. they did the samey-type of things over at newgrounds too.

Oddish 04-01-2005 08:21 AM

Lol, good prank Alcar, you sure fooled me :p Add me to your list!

oddguy 04-01-2005 08:49 AM

I have to admit I was confused, but not fooled. I saw the following post by Alcar yesterday.

Cyber-Slig 04-01-2005 10:40 AM

We already have 20 billion threads about this.

'nother thing...
"why d'ya have to do that? "
"Why d'ya have to be such a peckerhead!?"

Rich 04-01-2005 11:46 AM

The fact that the forums actually opened and there were people online sort of gave it away that it was fake. Plus, someone said that the Forums would thrive even with no Oddworld.

mudling 04-01-2005 12:13 PM

i knew it was april fools, and i kept on saying it until midday. then other things happened and i forget when i got home. i also read alcar's post about the forrums not shutting down. i guess it was becuase the hole day i was trying not to be a fool, and the i didn't expect there to be pranks in anywhere but school. i guess i can also blame my selective memory, again, nice joke!

Dualist 04-01-2005 12:47 PM

Why guys?
 
...I feel for it.

Oddish 04-01-2005 12:50 PM

Because it's April fools today.

Dualist 04-01-2005 12:53 PM

I was fooled, and I totally forgot today was the 1st.

mudling 04-01-2005 01:08 PM

now go to "oddworld forrums is no more" in the "off topic" section so alcar can add you to his list of suckers. don't worry, i was tricked too! it was a good joke!

Dancing Steef 04-01-2005 01:19 PM

At first I thought that the "joke" was true...but what a fool I was! I didn“t know that it was April the 1st either. but I agree with Mudling,GOOD JOKE ;)

Scrab Watcher 04-01-2005 01:19 PM

Add me to the list. Why do you torture the gullable and forgetful amongst us so? :p

Abeguy 04-01-2005 01:41 PM

i got fooled

Xavier 04-01-2005 01:57 PM

oh godd... an other one...

*moves

thank you soooo much Alcar :p

Al the Vykker 04-01-2005 02:13 PM

I saw it early this morning and laughed and rolled my eyes cuz I knew it was April 1st. =)

erwinraaben55 04-01-2005 02:19 PM

Lol, all those fooled people here, suckers :P

I was browsing the net, and say many april jokes. Then I came here, and saw the banner, I immediately laughed, then I was curious what happend when you clicked on it. To bad there wasn't some thing more behind that :P.
But I just got fooled on another website. It was just in the news headlines, so I clicked on the link. If I had seen the big anouncement, I knew immediately it was a joke, but I didn't saw that directly. Well, I hope it is a joke, because otherwise I will be very very very sad. It is about that DMC, Onimusha and Resident Evil will be Nintendo only. If there is one game series besides MGS and Oddworld, it is DMC that I like the most. So I would be dead if it was true. (Well, I still hope I am right that it is a joke, because no confirmation it is a joke what so ever on that site:()

Edit, AARGH, It is true I believe, because they had also a few days before talked about it. :fuzmad:

Silversnow 04-01-2005 02:40 PM

I'm not sure if I was fooled by it. I saw the banner, thought "Strange." but didn't click it for a while. I read some topics, found nothing interesting and then clicked it. It made me grin stupidly.
I guess I'm a sucker too then.

Fuzzle Guy 04-02-2005 12:20 AM

It' passed 12 o clock on April Fools Day, that means Alcars the fool to us in Britain :p

mudling 04-02-2005 12:35 AM

alcar is also a fool in austraila, it's april the 2nd! ok, i don't think it counts as he created the joke before 12pm in australia.
