Will it also be mandatory for all users to make their own Amiga-related song? :)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cml_YsTznRU

Lol!   I think we should do the same for government positions?   President of the USA anyone?  Now that would be fun!

Will there be an accompanying moratorium on being banned as well?  I'm certain I have a few things I could get off my chest.

I think any web forum should adopt that policy. One day a year, you can say anything you damn well want, with no consequence.

Youtube would reverse this policy to read "one day a year, you can't be a raging ****skull"

Hey, if Transition hasn't banned me, after my helping to fudge up the Timberwolf thread, then you can be assured it takes a fair amount of bad behavior to get banned.
Even mentioning Tedd's name hasn't gotten me even a warning message.

Lets face it, you have to be a real ass to get banned here.

I think we need to learn some life essential skills...   Like the Art of Trolling!  Clearly we don't have what it takes to get banned.

I found a professional guide, I couldn't find a basic guide so lets shoot straight up to intermediate level..

Hopefully we should be able to learn how to get banned successfully :) :) :)

or we could just start praising the Atari ST, I think enough of that talk we surely will get banned :)

@darkage

Praising Atari ST will get you banned for millions of Peta years!

Does anyone actually know the sinister* origins of "April Fool's Day"?

Yes, it all goes back to the Dark Ages in old England when the court jesters (or "fools") as they were known would be given a special holiday in April.  As the jesters were no longer available to entertain the masses (they all went to Torquay and spent the day on the beach swapping jokes and getting new ideas for their shows), the people had to make up their own "pranks" and "jokes".
