For those who missed this year’s April Fools’ Day Blog or who may be feeling (*shudders*) nostalgic, Filboid Studge is on display at filboid-studge.com.
It’s read-only; you can look but not post.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
Can we have a “studge academy” RPG ?
I suppose so, if enough of you want one. I don’t even like thinking about that place.
I missed the second half of it, unfortunately. Last year was more FunTM, but I think that was the point.
Did that HTML work? I hope so.
I liked the RPG we had going. That was…for lack of a better word, fun.
It was strange. Am i right that the purple smilies were bunnies?
that was the best one the the three so far.
6 – I have to agree. It was very different but probably the most interesting. And stuff.
It’s a shame the threads were closed, though, it would have been fun to keep going there.
I agree with TMFA! It was probably the most creative april fool’s day blog so far. I only got to post twice, though, i was a little bit busy! Do you have archives of the other April fool’s sites, too? Cuz i’d loooove to see them!
(5) I thought of them more as hot-pink worried little emoticons, or possibly half-successful experiments in bunny debunnification. (Snorgswattle and company would enjoy that, I think.) I was disappointed that nobody tried to make a Mr. Joe. For reference, I’ve added a Filboid Studge smiley table to the site.
(7) Fun for some people; exhausting for others. But strangely rewarding in retrospect.
(8) The other April 1 takeovers are still on the blog, though the colors are different now. There’s no way to show what the blog looked like when the bunnies turned it pink, except by letting it happen again *shudders*.
9- Yeah, let’s keep the pink paint under lock and key. The thought alone scares me.
9 – Oh of course, I understand. It would have been fun, though. For me.
just isn’t the same.
And believe it or not, I thought of trying Mr. Joe, but I so rarely use the smilies that I have to research the almost-html for every one. I couldn’t just click quickly at the top of the page to find out how to make :mrgreen:, so I didn’t give it another thought.
It would have been cool to have made a stoplight out of the three smiley colors we did have.
That was a really creative April Fools Joke, and it was so much fun to have something to rebel against. Loved it, in a hated sort of way.
In my opinion, this was the best April Fool’s prank so far. Being taken over by HPBs and Disney was fun, but this was amazing. I actually enjoyed the formal atmosphere; I wasn’t just following Miss Lovegood’s plan.
Yes! I got the final post on Filboid Studge ever! Piggy FTW!
(13) Miss Snorgswattle would no doubt blush with pride to hear you say so. (That’s a frightening sight, actually.)
14- Yes, I’m not sure whether I would want to see anything gray blush with pride. What colour would she turn? In any case, I can see a great deal of time and “creativity” went into it, and I applaud the GAPAs as I applauded the GRIMs.
Is there a site where I can see the previous April Fools sites?
Well, you can see most of last year’s at https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1295 and https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1293, and a little postscript at https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1296.
The bunny invasion of 2007 was more global, but you can see people’s reactions to it at https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=767 .
(15) As she is completely monochrome, she simply deepens in greyness.
(16) The previous events occurred on MuseBlog itself, so they’re here in the back pages.
The bunnies start with https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=768
and continue with pages 769, 770, 772, 773, and 774. For Disney, see pages 1293-1296. Unfortunately, you don’t get the full effect without the front page or, in the case of the bunnies, the pink overload.
(17) Oh, I didn’t see your comment until after I posted.
19-That happens to a lot of people…
*gaps* A GAPA has double posted! You have set a precedent, Lady Bunniful. Now whenever someone gets in trouble for double posting, we merely can point out, but the GAPAs’ve done it, it must be alright!
I really did enjoy Studge. It was great having something to rebel against. Very invigorating in an odd sort of way.
I wasn’t around during the previous April Fool’s Days (somehow even though I always made it on for my b-day, I was off come 3 days later when April came around)….so I definitley think this was the best.
SFTDP, but that was supposed to be *gasp*, not *gaps*
I really enjoyed taking on the role of “twitchy, fingernail-biting scholar unearthing Horrible Secrets,” if only for a few hours. It was amazing. Best April Fools yet.
(21) Actually, I’ve done it before when it made sense to do so. I personally don’t have a problem with the practice if there’s a good reason for it. Sometimes it makes for better clarity. Also, I’d have made a lot more of them if I didn’t have the option of editing.
True confession: I’ve never understood the objection to double posting. Multiple comments of the hit-and-run variety are indeed a nuisance, but there are legitimate reasons for making two posts in a row. Personally, I found it more irritating to read all the apologies and was grateful when someone came up with the abbreviation.
I agree, double posting isn’t really an issue with me.
If anyone is looking at DisneyBlog, you simply must open up a few tabs and play the song as a round!
It was very interesting thinking of mischief under a strange name.
Even though it was only for a while. Wow, did the comments get posted fast .
(25) Yes, the multiple, simultaneous sound file experience was truly unique. Especially in the middle of the whole craziness.
(26) Of course, the fast moderating meant nothing else got done all day. Oh, well.
Hey, GAPAs! Did you have as much fun being the GRIMs as I had rebelling against them? Also, when you first put me “Who is Here”, it said “Mr. or Miss”. I’m glad you realized I’m a girl!!! *makes face* Then again, “Koppar” does sound rather neutral.
24, 25–No, I don’t really have an issue with it either. Except when they are pointless multiple posts, which can get irritating.
Not much to say….we had free pizza on our floor, and I ate too much. Four slices. I really ought to have stopped with 3.
26- Oh well. *is thanksful* You guys really have a strange sense of humor!
28- There are a lot of neutral names. But then, I got a lot of the genders incorrect. But then, I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought me as a boy.
That was great. Both DisneyBlog ™ and Studge.
Oh, I just posted something about Filboid-Studge on the random thread. Oh, well.
Basically, I said that I liked it better than the other two years.
I thought the joke was rather annoying – mostly the GRIMs.
Hey, GAPAS – when I try to go to musefanpage.com/blog (without a www or anything) it’s still taking me to http://museacademy.wordpress.comblog/, and then when I take the blog off, just to the normal Muse Academy blog.
That’s funny. I’ve reset the pointers several times since they did that. Try clearing your browser’s cache and see what happens.
By the way, “www . museblog . com” or simply “museblog . com” (without spaces around the periods) will now take you here, too.
Question. What is the
smiley on Filboid Studge? I went to the emoticon post-studge addenda, but it just shows up as that blue square with a white question mark that your webpage creates when it is unable to display an image properly…
37–ah, yes.
the problem child is no different from the rest of the Studgers.
It was weird. I realized how colorful we truly are. I will never take color for granted again.
It was somewhat fun raging against conformity in Spanish.
35- Really? Sweet. I think that might help more Musers find this place.
Wow. I missed it. This looks awful. O.O
I was really confused, because i sort of forgot that it was april first. Eventually I figured it out but I just couldn’t get used to the whole colorless thing.
I missed it?!? D: Man. I didn’t miss the others, but I guess spring break didn’t fall over the first those years for us. I’m disappointed, but, alas. Next year.
I just saw it a few days ago…I WANT A STUDGE ACADEMY RPG. There, Noe can actually be awake (she’s currently fainted/in a coma in Muse Academy.)
Wait, there’s a weird blog every april fools day?? (I mean weirDER, of course. This is a weird blog every day of the year.)
46–And that’s exactly why you love it.
46- Every year so far, I believe, although I wasn’t around in April 2006.
48–I’m not sure whether there was or not…I joined in March 2006, around the 20 or so, but I’ve long had the “habit” of “abandoning” the blog in the spring months, only to return again in time for my birthday the following year….However, I had been thinking I started my break (that is, cracking down on school work trying to get done reasonably close to on-time, and then not even thinking about the blog in summer….) later that year, like around June.
*shrug* If there was one, I missed it. If there wasn’t one, that explains why I don’t remember it….Oh, heck, I dunno. There’s been three, for sure.
(48, 49) On the morning of April 1, 2006 for a short while MuseBlog erupted into bright colors and looked like some sort of psychedelic-Japanese-candy-wrapper-lunchbox explosion. I wasn’t sure at first whether I imagined it as it disappeared quickly under a hail of protest. Also, I don’t think it actually worked properly. But Robert could tell you better. I was merely an eyewitness.
Must not’ve been on that day. Not surprising, really….
sounds fun, though!
(51) You were on quite a bit the day before, as you and Robert were discussing English vs. U.S. editions of HP. But only very early risers would have seen it. The normal blog was restored before 8:30 a.m. I was unsure whether I’d been hallucinating until Robert confirmed it later…at least I think he did…
52–Ah, yes, I remember those conversations. They were great fun.
But, yes, that would have meant I would have had to’ve been up very early indeed, given that that would mean the blog had been restored to normal colors by 5:30 am back home, a time that, I am almost never up at….For obvious reasons.
I don’t remember you being around back then, were you an admin yet? I only remember Robert and Rosanne from my early days on the blog…
(53) I was still a lurker at that point. Though later the same month, Robert posted some HPB
experimentsgraphics I sent himas a shameless ployfor fun and thus I slowly began toinfiltratebecome a participant in the blog.54- I remember your early days well. We don’t talk about the Pokeweed Incident, of course.
(55) Appreciated. Fortunately, the Great Rutabaga Glut turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
(55) For those who weren’t around, here’s an allusion to the incident in question.
And oh, yes, the rutabagas.
54–Wow. I remember those bunnies–I even posted on the thread! Can’t believe I’d forgotten that…..I still like the next to last bunny best!
Very super awesome…..
Lessee….
Greetings from a lost planet….
I would like a Studge Academy RPG. We all go to Studge, and we’re secretly planning a rebellion against the GRIMs.
Wait. I missed last year’s April Fool’s Day. Is this Filboid Studge thing the April Fool’s Day from last year? It’s kinda creepy…
Studge was from this year, April ’09
Sorry I am double-posting and all, but I just checked out the Filboid Studge site from last year and I was freaking out! That is so scary! Especially how that Mr. Bookworm crossed out kiwimuncher’s post on one thing. Terrifying!
61.1- Oh yea. Last year’s was Disney, huh?
Not sure….Studge was the only April 1 I’ve actually managed to be present for. The previous three I somehow ended up absent.
Hm. The smilies have changed back to the original WP emoticons on Filboid Stuge. The confusion on Sober, Sensible Smiley Stories doesn’t make much sense now that it’s not entirely filled with :neutral:s.
What?!?! They reverted? That’s horrible. *goes and checks*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh noes! They did! *dies*
That must have happened when we upgraded the WordPress software. It’s easy to fix, but not tonight.
That’s odd….I could’ve sworn that when I read through Studge blog earlier this semester, it was after the upgrade. But the emoticons were still Studgefied…… Huh. My timeline must be off.
Or maybe your cache hadn’t been cleared?
That’s quite likely, too…..
