Part of the reason I called it "The Greatest April Fool of All Time" is because we actually managed to fool people, rather than just make an obvious joke that would make them laugh (as Google, reddit, etc do). Not only that, but we fooled people on such a large scale, and it was far more successful than any of us had thought it would be.
I think you did a fine job! I knew that One King and Bueller were Poes, but I had no clue it was actually the staff. Well done. I figured that the Star Trek stuff was just a fly-by (haha) by someone out having fun. I suspected AA wasn't legit, but couldn't be sure. The one that trully fooled me was LMA. I honestly thought that she was an honest to goodness little drama queen.
For what it's worth. I enjoyed the hell out of it. It made my Sunday entertaining. Thanks, guys!
