hm?

edit: when i made this thread, i didn't realize it was an april fools joke 😀

 

[lemurcatta]

This is a joke right? Like a bring back to the 90s/2000s thing?

 

[IslandStyle808]

At this point I take it as an April Fools gag. I can't type clippy's name without being Rick Rolled...

edit: you're one malicious paper clip!

 

[Pagan FutureDoc]

hm?

I like the return of Rick Astley

rick astley

 

[lovehate]

Certainly an April Fool's day prank

 

[Gilakend]

If this isn't April Fool's I will be making a rival site and you can all join me there.

EDIT: I just realized I wasn't even using the April Fool's one. Those other two are unbearable, this 90s one isn't 1/2 as bad.

 

[Suzukaze]

But wait, why this annoying paper clip?

 

[Terror Billy]

I was so confused when I logged on now. I actually hope they keep this as an option...but it would suck to not be able to return to the other styles

 

[Endoxifen]

But wait, why this annoying paper clip?

Didn’t you use word on windows xp?

 

[RNtoMD87]

might be before some of these ppls time

 

[Goro]

hm?

Gawd, I HATE April Fool's Day on SDN.

I'll see y'all on Monday.

 

[DexterMorganSK]

Jokes are meant to be funny.

How do I use the paperclip function? I click on him but he doesn't respond.

 

[CloverBale]

I don't know you guys I kind of like this new ~lewk

 

[Pagan FutureDoc]

How do I use the Belvedere function? I click on him but he doesn't respond.

I think the uselessness is part of the joke

 

[DameJulie]

Not a fan of the new layout, but will go with the flow if this is final.

When I see that paperclip search, it brought me back to Windows 98.

 

[IslandStyle808]

That's the point its a 90s throwback. The clip was annoying to Window's users. They are trying to recreate how annoying he was...

Try typing C-L-I-P-P-Y without the dashes. And I literally get clippy.

 

[RNtoMD87]

clippy

I love that SDN has this silly, festive element to it. This site can get really dry and tense with endless talk about match lists, standardized tests, grade concerns, etc. It's nice to take a break from all of that to appreciate a 90s-style intentional disaster of a website format. I'm enjoying this!

 

[Lucca]

this is the new format forever and you millenial snowflakes are going to have to get use to it if you want a safe space go facegram about it on your chatsnap

April 1 never disappoints around here. Always different from year to year. I think keep the "clip" feature for new users who could use reminding about the Search feature, maybe until 200 posts or so.

 

[LordPP]

This feels like a bad action movie, where the arch nemesis you thought was dead returns. Only in this case, it's an animated paper clip.

Clippy, the bane of my grade school computer classes, why do you torment me still?

 

[Dr. Scribe]

How am I supposed to judge the value of someone's comment without knowing how many likes he/she has?

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

What happens when you type Rick Astley?

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Or Clippy? I’m on my phone so nothing happens.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

LOL. Got it.

 

[lpp06]

There are probably a portion of users not old enough to know about Mr. C l I p p y - so this is annoying.

For those of us who do remember - this is highly traumatic and causing nightmarish flashbacks.

 

[3toedsloth]

COMIC SANS!!!!!!

 

[BellaWriterChic]

Oh Clippy. You ever annoying but slightly lovable feature of Word. He gets a bad rap, because he did have his usefulness.

Edit: got it. C L I P P Y. Haha Rick rolled

[deleted804295]

Terrible April fools joke reverting back to the old format. I hate this. I'll just stay off SDN for a day.

 

[892002]

I thought it was an Easter theme at first...then realized it was an April fools joke.

 

[RockMcat520]

This is really annoying!!!!

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Man, some people are really high strung and have no sense of humor.

 

[Neutropix]

Man, some people are really high strung and have no sense of humor.

It fooled me for a second lol. I was like, "Damn internet explorer browser at work taking me back in time per usual ."

EDIT: and this happened literally right after I told myself no one will fool me today lmfao. Well played SDN, well played.

Clippy actually showed up last night. I caught him sneaking around and took a screen shot.

 

[KnuxNole]

I’m loving it!!! Reminds me of middle school! This should stay forever.

Especially the font. So professional, and classy.

Just getting started on my letter of intent. I think I've found the perfect font. Thanks SDN!!!

[Turkishking]

Irritating. It's better than the april fools prank on hub lol... Sharing my video on my facebook wall. I jumped out of bed trying to deactivate my facebook account with sweat dripping from my face.

 

[DBC03]

This is amazing, but I can't figure out the Clippy function. Do I have to actually *post* with that in it?

I'm so disappointed that it didn't work. My April Fool's function is dysfunctional...
