I missed April Fool's Day last year, so I don't know if this is an ongoing thing, but where is everything? Back in 2023, I remember cat blocks, Scratch Cat's profile being open, and the Scratch Wiki having April Fool's Day stuff. Where is it all? Am I missing something?

Also, too bad griffpatch was closed. Does anyone know why? I kind of wish I could get the follow message…

i think there is just no AFD celebration on scratch anymore (aside from the automatic semicolon glitch at the bottom of pages). normally the timeframe of it is april 1st in any timezone

Scratch Wiki is all messed up and the pages are replaced with the April Fools variants. There's also an evil semicolon running rampant and Griffpatch is randomly “following” people. I dunno why Griffpatch was closed, it doesn't look like there was spam

the scratch wiki has april fools stuff
there's a semicolon on the bottom of the page
there's a april fools SDS
Paddle2see has a cat profile picture, which is probably april fools related

griffpatch's profile comments are turned off a lot because of spam

Scratch Wiki is literally down, I'm getting an error page. I don't know if that's the “joke.” I've seen the semicolon, they've done that every year, but I think the griffpatch thing is new. Apparently, if you comment on his page, then you get a notification that he “followed” you.
Also unsure why griffpatch is down, already checked with the spammers on another website (I know a few of them personally, despite not supporting their spam); they didn't spam today. So yeah idk abt that

Scratch Wiki ain't down, pal. Just wait a moment

There should be a resource limit screen, but it goes away after a moment. The website is kinda messed up but there's a link on the error screen that fixes it, says something like “click here to magically fix all the server problems we have”

There are 6 hours, 1 minutes and 44 seconds until the end of April Fools' Day 2025. (refresh)

Is there ever gonna be another AFD on scratch?

Au contraire, there will not be one next year, as the Kumquat War of April 5 will leave Scratch Team incapable of modifying Scratch in any way for all of the forseeable future.

Sadly, only the semicolon, joke SDS and April fools wiki is added, nothing else unfortunately

hey, let's not be so negative. st has a lot of things to work on behind the scenes and I'm grateful we even got anything for afd. I honestly find it quite funny how everyone was predicting and suggesting all these grand website-breaking updates then we ended up getting a studio. if that was intentional then it's actually really funny, thanks st!

I'm pretty sure scratchers made up the evil kumquats and griffpatch message rumours themselves, and not the scratch team

Evil kumquat was something I added there when I wrote the message. The griffpatch thing is real, I got it

Some scratchers will receive a message “griffpatch is now following you”. It appears as real, with proper links and icons, etc.
