The other forum moderators and I have talking over how we can find a balance between having some good-natured fun on April Fool's day without causing too much disruption to regular forum users - and without creating a ton of new work for our short-handed forum moderation team. Here's some guidelines that we hope will help:

Keep it fun! Nothing mean-spirted or dangerous, please. Creative and funny is appreciated; mildly annoying (like rick-rolls) is tolerated. Some creative ideas to celebrate April Fool's Day on the forums:
- have fun with your forum signature
- make a silly Scratch Project, and post a silly advertisement about it in Show and Tell

Don't break the forums. Some important parts of the forums support Scratchers looking for help. If there are too many topics or posts being created, their calls for help can get lost. Let's make sure we can hear them by not posting pranks topics or posts in the direct support forum sections: “Help with Scripts” and “Questions about Scratch”. Also, please no joke posts on serious topics - and no spamming topics. Go for quality, not quantity!

Clean up after the party. Please keep the clean-up process in mind as you are creating your pranks. All the fake topics that get created will need to be closed at some point. You can help by limiting the number of new topics created and closing your own topics once 24 hours have passed since topic creation.

Scratch on

Don't do it. We don't want a repeat of last year where a lot of users were denied help because the forums got flooded and mods spent a lot of time cleaning up instead of other reports. You're better off making an April Fools project instead of a joke forum topic.
