Oh wow. Right down to the stars dropping off the mouse. I thought I died and went to Web 1.0

A little early for April fools.

Thanks for the nostalgia hit folks. The Internet in the late 90's was truly awesome - Geocities, flaming text, marquees, Neopets and all.

It's currently 4:25am on April 1st in NZ and 2:25am in Sydney. I'd say they timed it to start pretty well.

Maybe I'm a joy-kill, but, I really find the April Fool's tradition of ruining the internet for one day every year pretty unfortunate.

There's a highlighted "turn this stuff off" button in the header.

I thought its pretty hilarious. First I was worried I've been hacked (or SO has been hacked) then I realized they must start early with their April fool stuff. Liked the guestbook at the bottom!

Nostalgia FTW!
