Announcing ProBoards Name Change: HappyBoards!

[betsie]

Nice 1st of April prank. ;D

ProBoards is changing it's name to HappyBoards.

Pity about the grammatical error: misplaced apostrophe.

100% absolutely fantastic, killing self laughing here, well done.

Just posting and bookmarking this so that I can make an announcement on our forum and see what people think hahahahahahahahhaaa!!!

Well done team, can't think of any other 'supplier' that would have the dare and humour to do this.

;D I would laugh if Craig was being serious; all you (said in a high falsetto ;D ) "oh my what a wonderful joke, Craig. You're so awesome!" people would feel pretty stupid. ;D

Though I must admit that when I first read it I forgot it was April 1st. >.<

I would abandon ProBoards if they became Happy Boards; it just doesn't sound professional enough.

Good one, but I must say I'm always on the look out for pranks on April 1st - it's something that comes with age! ;D

Nothing wrong with the Happy Board colour scheme - I've seen far worse!

. I can't believe what Proboards did just to fool us all. They purchased a domain name and even put an announcement on all their Forums that everyone can see.

Well done Proboards ;D you got me, and you've lightened up my day.

Plus I am so happy this is not real, Happyboards

[rsingletary]

You got me !!

This April Fool's joke took my breath away....because I thought the idea was sooo stupid !!
Next thing that went through my mind was...it sounds too much like HappyMeal
so McDonalds will file suit pronto and Proboards will have to pay damages !

I'm sure glad this is just a APRIL FOOL'S JOKE !!

I thought Happyboards just sounded to .... gay. (no offense there btw) .... My next thought since i'm an admin on like 3 boards was man I really don't wanna have to start over on making 3 new sites.

I dislike April Fools

I think "Happy-Clappy Boards" sounds much more professional. ;D

Happyboards..... Sillyboards is better

[Imprintation]

Ha Ha it was a good one!

[Mandykins]

Loved it!!

A friend of mine was actually freaking out because of it. Proboards is the freaking best ever!! <33

I suppose it's a bit of fun to have a fool take over the boards one day a year.
