Sort of gave that one away with question #5

2. Which Mod first came up with the idea? *hint* it's a girl!

Iconian

3. What was the first prank?

Making TR a mod?

4. What year did the Lounge get "Rickrolled" as part of the prank?

What year didn't Loungers get Rickrolled?

5. Name all the Slickdeals April Fools pranks, 2006-2009

I think the 2010 prank was the upside down text that brought SD quickly to its knees.

In that case ... 3 dozen.


Stick a 6', 195lb. (male) Marine in it and it adjusts to 5 dozen. Evil
