Am I missing the April Fool's Day joke?

[Bob_McMillan]

Because whenever I go to the Escapist, it turns black, but asides from that nothing happens. I have a feeling it's trying to do something, but since the Escapist website and I have a shaky relationship, it keeps on failing.

Well, you've bloody gone and done it now, eh.

EDIT: Huh, and now it's stopped. For a bit there this thread was black and red while everything else was fine.

EDITEDIT: And now it's back.

EDITEDITEDIT: Aaaaand now it's gone.

At the bottom of every post is a box that, when hovered over, reveals a lyric.

Great. The Illuminati thread felt lonely and escaped.

EDIT: The random factor is both hilarious and maddening. xD

Apparently the screen goes black every time you hit Post, but resets as soon as you change pages.

Wat I didn't see any red

I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME

I predicted it

Because the Illuminati works like that

 

[Rylot]

It's doing it for me too. Can't read any posts or anything and when I reload the page it's back to normal.

Edit- It happened again. Most of the screen is blacked out and when I highlight the text it shows up red on white with a box at the bottom that looks like an embedded youtube video at the end of every single post. Can't get anything else to happen. Is the joke just not working right?

 

[Padwolf]

I have been looking around the site wondering where on earth is the april fools day joke. It does sound like a lot of fun!

NOOOOO!!! They banned Taco! Whyyyyy...

Unless... this is the prank.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

When my page goes dark, I'm getting some fireworks exploding into the popular Richard Buttocks meme when I scroll down to the bottom of the page. Does anyone else see it?

I only see like half the fireworks, it's being obstructed by something.

This is what I see in the bottom corner:

Spoiler: Probably Not Safe For Work - It's dickbutt and the GIF is larger when directly linked to.

I don't know what's funnier, the prank, or the fact that it isn't working some people.

Also, where did dick butt come from?

It seems to go away for a bit once you refresh the page. I've also had some instances of everything turning upside down.

I'm finding it hilarious. It's taking me twice as long to do Mod stuff but I'm having a great time.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Oh great, now I have to highlight everyone comment to read that they had said!

Oh wait, it kind of random per refresh since now it's back to normal or it's upside down!

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I've noticed this too.

I've also noticed the Website being upside down at least twice now.

These really aren't funny April Fools Jokes. Homestar Runner did better this time round. (Seriously, there is a new April Fools HR up).

I managed to catch a screenshot before he disappeared.

That happened just as I was loading this page.

What.

Yeah, I've seen that creepy dude. Just a friendly reminder the NSA doesn't take days off from watching you, I'm assuming. You know, so you can feel safe in its loving, all seeing been-on-meth-for-4 days-straight-but-I-totally-feel-fine eyes.

The worst April Fools "jokes" are when they make a website impossible to use/navigate.

It may as well just say "Hey don't give us hits today."
