April 2021 Discussion Thread

Is it a part of the April 1st prank that the "New!" sign at Adopt -> Easter 2021 won't go away?

I think it's part of the joke.

I think it might just be a glitch that came along with turning the site banner upside down.

just saying that having an option to turn off the april fool's shenanigans would be very helpful for many of us facing accessibility issues right now

Accessibility help: you can change your board style here to remove the header: Forum/ucp.php?i=165 and you can also disable signatures and images in posts here: Forum/ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=view . The pet flipping does not affect viewing trades, the text in normal posts people might need for commissions or similar, or the ability to collect tokens because you can view pages such as the time page: time.php to collect them.

From past pranks, if I recall correctly, having an on/off toggle for the changes to pets is not really an option like the board theme header. I believe Nick has said it not a simple switch and would involve a lot of extra hosting. I know when choosing a prank I considered the fact that it would be during the Easter event and didn’t want it to be too annoying, so personally I thought this was a good option. As it was pointed out above, we do our best to make the pranks overall harmless. Things like sorting pets might be hard for some today, but thankfully the pets will be back to normal tomorrow and sorting them today is not imperative. I hope everyone who is able is enjoying the little prank!

So I don't normally post in non-trading/art parts of CS, but I realized while bumping my trade thread that my signature pets, based on Fire Emblem: 3 Houses Characters JUST SO HAPPENED to totally fit along with an ongoing meme about the game.

For those unfamiliar, the box art of the game has one character, Claude, upside down, and it became a fan-made joke that he just chills hanging from the ceiling.... so I'm almost in disbelief that that one particular pet is one that's upside down this year lol. I'll probably go root around for a fandom thread somewhere to mention this, but figured it would be fun to come here first.
