April Greetings

Doctor Q · Mar 31, 2006

MacRumors would like to wish you a happy April and to thank you for being part of the MacRumors community!

Historical note:
This thread was started on April first, at the same time that a new MacRumors Page 3 was added to the site. Page 3 was first noticed by idea_hamster (see post below).

All links on Page 3 are to this thread.

~Shard~ · Mar 31, 2006

And thank you Doctor Q and all the other Gods and Mods for making MR such a great community to be a part of!

dmw007 · Mar 31, 2006

Happy April MR.

And a special thanks to all of the Moderators, Gods, and all those involved in keeping this site running and a great place to spend time.

Brilliant! The entire page is a hoot! Bravo, MR, Bravo!

That page must have taken weeks to think up -- but an app called "TuneAbout" would be cool....

EDIT: "My virus won't compile (315)" -- LOL

Awww...feels so good to be welcomed...

Bless

Happy April Fools!

Thanks MacRumors team!

Ahhh this stuff made me laugh

Especially the posts:

W00T OMG LOL!1!!1 (0)

TextEdit feels faster after Mac OS X Update (75)

Does Bluetooth come in other colors? (86)

FS: Performa 6205 w/ 8MB RAM and eWorld subscription (-3)

Keep up the good work, MR

. We have a nice community here I'm proud to be a part of.

Perceptes · Mar 31, 2006

Totally genius. Doctor Q did a great job on that page, although I'm still convinced some of those things are actually real.

joker2 · Mar 31, 2006

I love it. Great job on the stories! Steve Jobs now reports to himself...

WildCowboy · Mar 31, 2006

Am I just an idiot? I'm not seeing any of the shenanigans you guys are talking about.

Edit: Nevermind...I didn't flip all the way to Page 3.

I'm sending in my iPod right now...looking forward to receiving my pyramid.

liketom · Mar 31, 2006

COOOL COOOL COOOL

Page 3 should stay

i'm was expecting a shift back to G5 fom Intel thread

and a Bill Gates Buys Apple thread

well done MR must have took ages !

bravo

WildCowboy · Mar 31, 2006

Yeah, where's the G5 PowerBook's next Tuesday thread?

And where's the "Enough of the Effing Threads" thread? Oh wait, that's a real one.

Garageband needs more cowbell...my side hurts.

mkrishnan · Mar 31, 2006

Happy April fools!!!!

And happy April, Team MR!

How come my iPod doesn't have a slot on the side???? I've heard other people are putting CDs into their iPods.... I tried to "rip" one of mine apart, but this technology is too complicated.

blackfox · Mar 31, 2006

Thanks mods/membership. For the laughs, for the information, for the drama and for being such a damn fine community.

I appreciate the efforts. On April Fools and on all the other days over the years.

Cheers.

That was targetted specifically at me.

jimN · Apr 1, 2006

So subtle I almost missed it, which would have been a shame given how much work has been put in. Talk about attention to detail.

keep up the good work, guys.

jonharris200 · Apr 1, 2006

Hehe... Jonathan Ives and Phil Schiller say so.

It must be true!

Thanks, team, for a hilarious start to April 1st and for all your efforts on site.

Should keep you lot busy

EDIT: Why do people see Aprils Fools as a chance to wreck a perfectly good news site. http://www.digg.com/diggall is filled up with all sorts of "hilarious" "jokes" as "u r a fag lol!!!!!!!!"

Blue Velvet · Apr 1, 2006

Excellent stuff and highly amusing, especially when you've been around here for a wee while... kudos to all involved.

This was probably my favorite... so subtle

John Lasseter said:
ZDNET notes that MacNN, detailing a digg.com followup to a CNET press release, has confirmed that AppleInsider quoted a Spymac story on an article in TheRegister reporting Think Secret's confirmation of the HardMac claim traced to an item at MacMinute based on an anonymous post at MacRumors about the Apple/Disney deal.

And this one is great too... sometimes it really does seem like this is how "true rumors" come about.

April Greetings
