I just thought I'd say a massive thank you to everyone involved in the April Fools stunt this year, whether it was direct or indirect involvement.
Back in February the staff started discussing potential pranks. These ranged from redirecting people to a Christian video upon entry, to having the staff become conspiracy theorists for the day. One suggestion was to make a script that would change everyone's name to fr0d0, except for fr0d0 (whose name would change to mine).
A vote was taken of all potential ideas, and by far the most popular was to change the entire site to "Christian Forums" for the day, complete with a suitably tacky banner, renamed forums, and randomly generated denominations replacing the standard "Religious Views". The cherry on the top was the promotion of fr0d0 (unbeknownst to him) to a position of Administrator, whilst the rest of us heathens were demoted to regular users. fr0d0 played his part magnificently, as did those who realised the joke and started posting "as christians".
For those who didn't see the prank, here is a screenshot:
Thanks once again
