On the first, nothing will happen and the joke will be that there is no joke. Short novelty, long epochtalk development cycle.
Bah, there's been some sort of April Fool's joke ever since I've been a member here (or at least that I can remember) and every year someone spoils the surprise by making a thread like this. It's so much more amusing when you've got newbies pulling their hair out over some new ranking system or whatnot, but when people start discussing the joke ahead of time, well, it loses a lot of its purpose.
Now, this epochtalk thing....that's the perpetual joke if you ask me. I don't even know what epochtalk is except that the current version of bitcointalk is supposedly going to be replaced with it. But knowing that everything on the web has a shelf life, I'd have to surmise that by the time Theymos does roll out the new forum software it'll already be quaint and outdated, much as what we've now got is (and has been for years).
But hey, you know me. I'm a tech-idiot, so there's about an 85% chance that I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to crap like that.
