I like the yearly April Fools jokes that Chris and the team play but think we should get a bit of our own back next year?
I thought about..
1.) Nobody logging in - Obviously not going to work.
2.) Hitting sugs & bugs with fake bugs - Probably not very social
3.) Speaking in French all day - There must be better ideas
4.) All changing our profile pic to some pre-defined image.
There must be some better ideas out there? (Hopefully they would have forgot by the time it comes around)

DDoS?
Edit: For those who didn't get my point, it was a joke.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I only upvoted this because it made me giggle, not because of the serious threat.

5. The current incarnation of Pompey never logs-in again. That will leave all of us in stitches.

Make every post in the lounge a repost.
Make every post in SoapBox a reposted old joke.
Make every post in Q&A a "Plz snd codez" homework question.

I haven't looked at CP since the end of last week, so please forgive me for bringing up an old post, but I believe it is in everyone's best interest to familiarize yourselves with the vows that members of the Repost Police needs to take:
Quote: Reposters gathers, and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall tolerate no repost, hold no hands, forgive no laziness.
I shall search for the source and provide a link to it.
I shall live and die at my post.
I am the downvoter in the darkness.
I am the watcher of the forums.
I am the fire that burns the lazy,
the light that exposes the dumb,
the hero that larts the lusers,
the shield that guards the realms of CP.
I pledge my life and honor to the Repost Police,
for this post and all the posts to come.
The vows are usually taken in the presence of Bob, the hamsters and a Leslie Nielsen shrine.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Ooooh no,
I missed my chance to fall in love, to see my future and lose some weight.
Now it will be harder for me to see the right posts and do all of the above.

On the long run, the later *could* be related to the chocolate.

I first heard the term here: http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Consuming-Passion-Sandra-Boynton/dp/0894801996[^] many years ago. It's a book for people who like chocolate. Using "like" as in "I like to breathe".

You don't want Ali to hear you say that! 
Not that Ali is overweight - far from it, I suspect - but saying "chocolate is fattening" is like saying "bacon is bad for you". Clearly, false information!

I'm certainly far from judging other members body shape.

*could* in the sense of may, or may not.
Yes, I posted something that says nothing at all, in best Swiss manner

Are the Swiss allowed to cast aspersions on Chocolate? I always assumed that was a hanging offense in most cantons.

I'm originally from the canton Aargau, where only casting aspersions against any type of alcoholic beverage is a hanging offense

Unfortunately not! About half of the natural chocolate is cocoa butter, and that is a pure vegetable fat! You have to eat dark/unsweetened chocolate (70% or over) to minimize the amount of cocoa butter - and to maximize the pleasure

Myth No. 2 "Chocolate is fattening."
A crucial factor has been overlooked in this widespread condemnation of chocolate: Most chocolate eaters tend to supplement their chocolate intake with other foods. By what right, what logic can chocolate be singled out as the cause of plumpness? How can we be certain that, say, carrots are not a catalyst of weight-gain when chocolate is present?
And there is empirical evidence that also raises serious doubts about chocolate's fatteningness: Few chocolate lovers can simply lie back and wait for chocolate to come to them. For most, getting and keeping chocolate often requires strenuous physical work.
