    I forgot what date it was also. I clicked on it early and thought fuck, they’re really going to be laughing at Todd on 2 plus 2 after he was lecturing them on web hosting . Then I realized I have an appointment tomorrow and noticed date and came back. Being this isolated, days are all running together.

    Yeah the lack of awareness of the date probably helped me.

    In hindsight, I made a mistake with the $25k figure. I wanted the fictional Connectedata company to look like a shady operation which was (legally) extorting existing websites for a large sum of money to access their data.

    However, I guess I didn't get that across well, so it just looked like the service was so overpriced that it had to be fake.

    Anyway, at least it fooled a lot of people temporarily, and some I actually had to tell it was fake when they didn't catch it for awhile. So it was a mostly successful gag.

    Hard to fool people around here. I don't think I'll ever top the FBI one from last year, which really got a lot of people, even without any distraction from the date like we have this year.

    Honestly I would've bet on Druff claiming to have the coronavirus as an April Fools prank
