April 1st.
In 2009, Malo Mart bought NSFCD, and as such, the whole site had the Malo mart theme playing throughout it, the ads were replaced with new ads urging us to buy Magic Armor, Bombs, Arrows, all for "reasonable" prices, the ranks were retooled, the banner and music temporarily changed (lolscream), and the board names were also changed, all to reflect the setting of Hyrule Twilight Princess Malo Mart. It was awesomely executed, and is still memorable.
Now, in 2010, we have a "fabulous" redesign. Everything is stereotypical gay, with sparkles, pink, lisp censors, two new banners (One of which frightens me), this gay song (Should've been this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrnduGtgmc).) playing throughout the site, a rank retool (Except most users selected their own rank and have Sleepover ranks on), a single "ad" telling us to visit "MeninLove.com", and another board name change. All to reflect the new fabulousness. Not too crazy about it.
And back in 2008...I can't remember. All I remember is Harder Better Faster Stronger playing in the background as one of the jokes. As the day went, more and more changes were made to the site on April 1st, as opposed to the above, when it all happened in a small amount of time at the start of the day.
So, to veteran members of NSF, which April Fools redesign do you think was the best, out of the three we've done so far? And if anyone remembers what exactly happened on April Fools '08, please tell.
I need not say more.
But I will.
Malo Mart is better 'cause it had better planning.
This was still funny.
Malo Mart, by a hair's breadth. I love them both, though.
Malo Mart.
In fact, I was hoping it would return.
this song is driving me crazy.
This is my first April Fool's.
So, this one, I guess?

Though I liked Malo Mart, I think I liked Gay Day a bit more.

You would.
First april fool's for the first time I've been here but It's kinda hard to top gay day. The GM referrence was awesome. joking around with FH was awesome. A lot of it was hilarious...Except the music
I can't get that intro stuck out of my head now and I hardly browsed here yesterday.
The Gay forum felt cooler than Malo Mart.
they all suck, so there. Leave the pranks to things that are actually pranks, not annoying the users.

And this is why I put that option up.

The intercourse . Gay forum was irritatingly obnoxious. Malo Mart was cleverly executed.
Malo Mart was done much better.
I still wish we had Crazy Bus as the background :(
As much as I love fabulous NSF, Malo's music makes it win.
Malo Mart.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure we did "ALL MODS AND GENIUS ADMIN DURR HURR" in 2008.

*they all suck, so there. Leave the pranks to things that are actually pranks, not annoying me.
Also, it's OK, Nayr. Next April Fool's, we'll be sure to do a theme extolling the virtues of owning a Mac.
OH DEAR GOD, PLEASE DON'T INFECT THE WEBSITE! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF MY PC DON'T FILL THE WEBSITE WITH VIRUSES THEN DELETE THEM THE NEXT DAY!
I wasn't here for Malo Mart, but it sounds really good.
Malo simply because all the boards/rank changes were planned ahead of time (sans a few) so they were more original and more fitting. This one was very last minute.
More so, the format for this one is directly emulating Malo Mart...and as such, I think it fit better.

That can be done. >:3
Malo Mart beats gay themes any day.
I wasn't on for Malo Mart (I was, but I didn't have the audio on and was viewing NSF for less than two minutes), so I have to pick the fabulous theme.
Malo Mart made me WTF more than this one did.
Thouhg, that was WTF worthy too...
