Oh, so that's what the LJ news was about. I didn't even realize that was a joke. I just saw there was a video (which naturally I ignored), shrugged, and promptly lost interest in finding out whichever new person they'd hired. The only thing I didn't get was how/why they made a link to a community go to a personal journal.

Yep. I ignored it the first time too; I'm inclined to ignore lj_news posts unless/until people in the personal journals I watch start complaining about whatever was in them. It wasn't until someone pointed out that there was an April Fools' joke involved that I bothered to click the link. And thus began a long, long string of the same damn joke. All day.

That would be me, I guess. But yeah, it was funny then, as it was a solitary situation, but it's the kind of joke that very quickly outstays its welcome. For that same reason, I refused to check out YouTube's April Fool's joke, as I'm sure it must have involved some Rickrolling as well.

Er. I hope it didn't sound like I was mad at you or anything; I just know some people don't like having the content of their journals mentioned, and I didn't know how you felt about that.

But no, I did get a giggle out of it when you showed it to me, and I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. It wasn't until every other LJ community started doing it that it got old and annoying.

Don't worry, it didn't sound like it. And I appreciate the thought - I don't usually mind when people mention this kind of entries, but I know a lot of people who get upset so I'm always glad to find people who respect that.

Yeah, even the funniest things usually lose their charm when repeated ad infinitum - and in this case the fun factor is much more limited.
