This recap makes me feel a bit embarrassed, because believe it or not I actually fell of the NFT thing back in 2021.
I was new around here, the NFT were all around and I was not aware of the April's Fool tradition of the forum. So I thought it was all serious and I also thought the NFTs were being transacted for actual Bitcoins and makes me assume everyone around here were actual millionaires and add hundreds of Bitcoin each.

I did not want to ask about any of that because I did not want to make a fool of myself. So, imagine my face when out of the sudden the NFT feature was gone... Tongue

The most fascinating aspect is that the old members do play along and appear as if they don't know what's going on, as we have today, many threads have been opened for questions, and some other members who offer signature service management have made jaw tantalizing rates threads to fool participants.

Theymos always appear serious about it with the support of some extremely reputable forum members, which makes the joke interesting. Most of the time, the jokes are always about something very difficult and the majority of forum users will not be happy if it is implemented.

Kudos to OP for taking the time to compile all of these Theymos April Fool's Day events from 2015. However, this Captcha is challenging because the more difficult the next one is to solve, the easier the first one was.

To be honest at first it really surprised me about the part that say users that failed the recaptcha will be banned from next week because I did actually play and try to solve the recaptcha but menhh the more I try the harder it felt and like you said power glove and some other users like Fillipone took it very serious and I won't lie I really had a bit of a scare hearing about banning of account because the game felt impossible on mobile but it was just an April fools day trick. Nice one though and I never knew the tradition has been on for this long @2015 till date.

I find it extremely positive and appealing that Theymnos still strives to make the forum more entertaining after so many years in charge. I've been here since 2014, but I wasn't very active from the beginning, and I've only encountered the new rank requirements in 2018 and the NFTs in 2021. I was also one of the few who hadn't installed Flappy Bird back when it was introduced because the risk of smashing my phone was greater than the benefit it was offering. So far, the flappy bird captcha has been the most successful I've encountered.

P.S. I didn't manage to collect the 10 coins this time.

This is literally the meaning of "your jokes are going too far" Cheesy

. Now what we have? The most annoying game that caused a lot of frustrations from all the users/downloaders way back 2013-2014? To be honest even if I am annoyed by the game it brings a lot of nostalgia.

I didn't know April Fool's jokes on the forum have existed for so long (since 2015). I have seen a couple or two of these events in recent years, and I think it's funny. Every time the administration comes up with something new that should be noted and thanked for it.

Reading comments and discussions in the relevant topic give no less positive emotions: New CAPTCHA now required before posting

CAPTCHA SOLVED! - It happened for the first time. Grin

Wow the Administrator sure is fun and entertaining. I didn't even know these pranks had been going on for so long. I believed it right away and even predicted that many accounts would be deleted after two weeks, but I had a doubt because it wouldn't be just if legendary and hero members lost their accounts as a result of a post.

I enjoyed reading this post, will be waiting with anticipation for what Theymos has in store for us next April.

I remembered some took offense at the COVID one just because it was similar to the real thing and was deemed distasteful.

Still, the spread was fun af.

It's great that you actually researched on any previous thread which has been made on the topic before making yours. That's one effort many thread posters do not put in and we have multiple repeat threads littered across the various boards.

Nice compilation too, I think my favorite is the first one I experienced which talked about KYC being required on the forum, it had the surprise factor cause I was not looking forwards to it at all, which I was in subsequent pranks I have seen.
I would like to see NFTs truly implemented on the forum.

[This thread was started by sheenshane but abandoned without updates, this combine the previous thread and the upated events]

April fool jokes are fun, and it has been a tradition on the forum on every first day of the month of April that Theymos(Administrator) usually played jokes with members on the forum, although people who have experienced one or two Aprils would be familiar with how much fun it used to be, the first time are the ones who mostly create most of the threads asking questions if something is wrong with their account or if the forum is experiencing a bug or glitch.
The most fascinating aspect is that the old members do play along and appear as if they don't know what's going on, as we have today, many threads have been opened for questions, and some other members who offer signature service management have made jaw tantalizing rates threads to fool participants.

However, the objective of this thread is to inform other people who were not here when it started and are interested in learning about earlier April fools that have been done by the administrator. This thread recognized the previous April fool that Theymos has played on every first of April since 2015.
