A lot of users now are laughing not because it is an april fools prank but the burdens were not true. I shocked also when I noticed that the new rank system are suddenly gone to the thread I am reading.
A while ago, I am thinking on what are the combination numbers to rank up. I thought also that there are algorithms used in order to calculate the new rank requirements till I came to the point that I will not rank up anymore. But then, I am very thankful that it is just a prank. A discouraging ranking system turns to a joke! Those who complained, you may now celebrate!
P.S. It might be prank as of now, but it may come true in the near future.
Many users were commenting yesterday and though claiming it to be a joke but I was seeing a fear behind their statements. A new tough measure to pass for higher ranking. Haa haa but many were showing them to be normal but in reality they were not.A while ago, I am thinking on what are the combination numbers to rank up.

I was happy with new system and took it seriously. I was seeing it as opportunity to rank up. But
such a big joke.I hereby propose the addition of a new Humour score. Unlike activity and merit points, humour points can be lost for humourlessness, literal-mindedness, broken sarcasm detectors, inability to grasp satire, or employment at a humourless alphabet-soup agency.
Humour will not affect rank. However, those with zero or negative humour scores shall have their signatures displayed upside-down and backwards. Also, such persons should carry a warning beneath their usernames: Jest with extreme caution.
This is a serious idea. @theymos, please implement it!
I was surprised (and laughing) at how many people took this seriously. I thought that this was way more obvious than last year, but I guess not.
A paid sarcasm shill once warned me about this sort of thing.
P.S., Dr. Cerimon shall must needs advise on how best to program the forum software to distinguish between good and ill humours.
Ironic that nullius' last post was on April 1st in this thread.
