A question about April Fools' Day on the forums (ANSWERED)

YoussefTV

I have a question about April Fools' Day on the forums.
Why is it being disallowed?

when gf clicked
ask [Why's April Fools' Day being disallowed on the forums?] and wait

EDIT: I got my answer from -stxllxr, y'all don't need to answer this anymore.

Thy post here, shall explain why.

In recent years, there have been a lot of spam on April Fools' Day, which causes problems for moderation and lag.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

This is the problem with having a tab sit open for three minutes - you get ninja'd, twice.

I'm ignoring the ST only note since if you don't want other people to reply don't post it here

There's kind of a reason why I've been yelling my head off the past two years about how I don't like the forums being used for April Fools Day. Which is nothing compared to how growly some of the remaining engineers feel about the forums. Not all the website lag is caused by the forums, but if the website lags and then forums go down afterwards, it's because the forums transformed into a lag monster. Nothing much we can do until after the lag monster has gone through its temper tantrum.

AFD causes insane stress on all sorts of parts of the website - it just doesn't make sense.

You can't tell only ST to reply.

You don't.

You could use contact us but they'll probably ignore you - you have to let everyone reply. There's no reason why I don't know the answer just as much as Za-Chary since he wasn't involved in AFD 2024. We've also seen ST members say things.

Closed by request.

Sadly, my forum signature was eaten by an evil kumquat.
