*immediately checks to see if it's April Fools Day*
Okay it's not *whew*.
Anyways, I usually don't prank people on April Fools, but I can't wait to see what YouTube and Scratch does this year, since last year's pranks were pretty good.

The Pico thing last year was kind of cheesy, I thought. But the Youtube one was really good; my cousin and I believed it for like an hour

I have some awesome ones I'm going to do to my dad, though. And I have a good one planned for one of my friends.

I used to be into this (meaning, as recently as last year), but now I find the prospect irritating and depressing. Then again, I say that about nearly everything now.

Ugh. I'm not looking forward to school during this. It's already painful enough…

*shiver* Populars…

A good prankster never reveals his pranks to anyone! ^~^

Anny, is that SERIOUSLY necessary? As for the prank itself, it doesn't sound like it was funny to the person in question, and as for the post, I think most of us would rather not see that.

Well this is a site for kids, no matter how crazy they are.

Would you really think it is fine to post that when a six-year-old might wander through the forums and decide to try it out for himself?

It was inappropriate, no doubt. An “lower parts” reference does not belong here.

I had a Scratch account a long time ago….sadly, I lost it. However, I do remember “Kaj the Moderator”, which kind of freaked me out until I found out it was @Paddle2See ….. although, I didn't have one during early 2013, so I don't remember the Pico prank.

Yeah. You're right.

Anyway, one minor prank I did a while back (back when the cruddy computer was installed) was make an error message with an error message generator that basically said the computer wouldn't work anymore, hit ‘preview’ in the image options, told my bro I wanted to show him something, brought him over, acted like I really did mess something up, and he went and got Mum, who fell for it until she tried to click the ‘next’ option on it. XD

I have plans for my profile.

A long time ago (I was less tech-savvy) someone flipped the screen and I thought it was broken. Also, I want to go onto someone's computer when they're gone for a minute and open up Scratchpad on JavaScript and alert a message to them such as “computer will selfdestruct in 10 minutes. Save all files to an external drive” XD

Or even better, I can make it a prompt message and ask if they are okay with it, and if they say no I'll say “Ha, well I am anyways”

The Neigh scratch prank was by far the best because people believed it.
“OMG I DON'T LIKE PONEEES EWW SCRATCH THATS 4 4 YEER OLDZ.”

Although I'm breaking my own rule to never tell anyone a good prank, I might as well. I am thinking of making a fake Windows 7 Shop, made in VBS, and make it “delete” System32 and “charge” the user a * load of money.

I'm considering replacing all my projects with jokes and annoying stuff. Or maybe just flipping some names around.

How would you manage to physically do it to someone?

It's a prank, not a personal attack. I'd do it by making a series of message boxes, save the file, get it onto a portable hard drive, transfer it, and run it before the person notices.
