Ask Slashdot: Seen Any Good April Fool's Pranks Today?

An anonymous reader writes: It's that special time of year where sites around the net celebrate April Fool's Day with parodies of their own product offerings. Google Home announces a new companion service for smart yards called Google Gnome. Stack Overflow announces Dance Dance Authentication. The Russian foreign ministry changed their voicemail to include new menu options like "Press 2 to use the services of Russian hackers," and "press 3 to request election interference." And in what's either a really good prank or a horrific piece of bad timing, Phrack.org announces that they've been seized by the FBI.

April Fools is Over

Waiting for April 1st for fake stories is no longer necessary.

This new Slashdot format better be a fucking prank.

I just assumed it was. When I checked in here at some time around 23:30 last night the site was what I've come to expect. When I reloaded at about 00:30 I noticed the change. But on further thought I'm not so sure... First, it looks more like a Hallowe'en prank than April Fool's. Second, I'm in the Eastern time zone; so if it is a prank, then they've gone to some trouble to load the prank version of the site selectively according to the user's location.

Even if it is a prank, I'm afraid they might be using it to test the waters. I'm guessing they want to maintain the 'collapsed by default' format so they can shoehorn in still more of the advertising that's been getting increasingly obtrusive of late. And if stories remain collapsed by default, and I have to click on every single subject to read TFS, with no configuration option to change that, then I'm outta here.
