I was pretty suspicious until the very end - "text mode" ... (?!!) - :( :o :shock: :idea: :D :lol:
Also "just zoom to 800% on your mobile device" is a good one!
I am sure you guys will keep making the right choices (form + functionality = good UX) for this awesome site going forward!
Happy April's Fools Day!

You got me!
But seriously IMHO you guys are the best because you have the best user interface for the website.
I went on Yucata half a year ago to play Russian Railroads and spent AN HOUR trying to figure out how even
to start playing a game and I am a software developer!

Looking forward to text mode. Any chance I'll be able to dial-in and play on my Commodore 64 with 300 baud modem?

Why are you assuming it was an April Fool's Joke? The old logo is still up in the corner. And that seems like an awful pain to make those changes just for one day in order to fool people.

Not to mention that I don't think that would be very funny at all. I mostly hated all the new stuff, and in whose mind is blue text on a pink background easy to read?

April the 1st!
But must say this logo is really more colorful and sexy.
It's like 70's movies - cameras are much warmer than now.

Althoug some innovations are nice, too much creation is not creation at all....
So it's good - site don't change EVERY day.

It's a shame this is an April Fools joke...
I'd love to have the old logo and colors back, as I've never really liked the new ones.
