    April fools joke 1 - neobuddys + annoying random popups

    April fools joke 2 - Shop wizard broke
    lets you search
    click a username to buy item
    and you get directed to your shop
    <3

    kinda funny

    (Going through userlooksup is also broke)

    It's not as funny or as shocking as TNT taxing your neopoints for every refresh or page you visited :p

    It's definitely not anything as good as I thought the neotax joke was.

    And to comment on what SoC said, I get directed to my shop when I click on another user's name on the shop wizard.

    Does the Daily Dare work for anyone ? When I try to start the ice cream game the window doesn't even pop up.

    I hate these TNT jokes.

    I suppose if it's that annoying you could just look up the username and then visit the shop from the userpage? Currently shop wizard works for me.

    Agreed, that was my favorite one. Everyone was flipping out, and a lot people quite that day. Overall, looking back at it, I find the idea pretty funny.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens when you sign up for the neo buddy thing?

    To be honest this year's April Fools wasn't that great. TNT could've come up with something so much better than this.
