April 1st Threads

Possibly in the form of a single post rather than a thread itself, this April 1st Thread usually takes the form of a Public Service Announcement informing the members of 411 of the crucial changes about to take place.

2011 Thread
Titled "An Important Forum Announcement", this thread explained that Viper and Deadly were now the new Kings of 411, as well as outlining various completely reasonable rules. A ghastly outcry was heard from the peasants, and as such a small war ensued, ending with the 411 Murder Mystery.

Marred only by the sudden increase of people perhaps taking the picture war a bit seriously and generally letting the spirit of comedy go down the shitter, the thread was closed shorty after the mystery had ended. The spiralling nature of the content is currently believed to be the fault of Redshark.

2012 Post
Lesser known, but vastly less cringe-inducing, the 2012 post detailed yet another change to the forums. Viper translated all of the Off Topic threads into their proper British-English counterparts, so as to entice a new audience of forum-goer. The thread names were changed after 24 hours, but their titles were as follows:
