there is no event this year

@WaynePonePone
I’m sorry, your first post here in this thread was April 3rd at 12:08 AM UTC.

I’m looking for posts between March 31 at 14:00 UTC and April 2 at 15:00 UTC.

If my math is wrong, someone please let me know, but right now that seems to me to be when April 1 started and ended anywhere on the planet, starting at Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and ending at American Samoa.

I’ve looked for an announcement on the top of the page and got nothing so I couldn’t get here because I have no idea that I even should

But I’ve drew an image and uploaded it at April 1st

The event this year was the ‘not an event’ event. There was no event, and that was the event.

Yes. There were badges, but there was no announcement what the criteria was. The badges were an “Easter egg” for users who participate in the April Fools’ day event, or who upload new artworks here - whether they draw the artworks or not.

Subscribing to the Site & Policy thread is how I watch for stuff like this.

Your image totally qualified you for your badge.

We award the badges by hand though, so it would take some time between your upload and you getting the badge. But the badge was awarded 3 days ago.

Btw: any plans on making those adorable pixel ponies an optional toggle we can use?

Not that I’ve heard of. But I know that some people have been finding ways to recreate the experience, or something like it, with scripts. But I have also heard that sometimes those scripts break other site functions like editing tags or posting comments. Maybe someone where can recommend one that works well?

Truly I worked very hard for this shiny trinket with my single post in the thread.

May your pockets be hot

Let’s feed the horsies hot pockets

Guess I was expecting a short info at the top of the screen like it usually is for other events

The badges were an “Easter egg” for users who participate in the April Fools’ day event, or who upload new artworks here - whether they draw the artworks or not - users such as yourself.

You can install them on a desktop or laptop;

The “caveat” is I was using a search query that used “artist:*” and, despite rumours to the contrary, I am not a machine and do have a life.

If you want the badge just say so and I’m sure someone will get around to giving it to you.
