Well it doesn't really work for me and I found out you need a twitter account, but I don't know about that... so I'll probably miss all the fun... What happened to the good old parties here at the LeakyLounge, dancing and drinking butterbeer and go on special hunts? For this one time I don't have exams
 I'll just prepare my work for the lab tomorrow; growing bacteria cultures, it's fun, as long as I don't infect myself, lolHave fun!! -------------------- I love Wales !!! :p

I have a twitter account but don't worry you haven't really missed anything
I wish it had been the usual party type thing as well

I did bug report, I'm in Australia and it's the 2nd of April where I am so April Fools' Day didn't register...

I have a twitter, and I can't Hoot. Ah, well. I agree with the rest, I prefer the old parties on the Lounge.

I'm so glad you guys love those parties, and there are tons of those to come in the future! April Fools is a day to "trick" others. This year it's also a work day for most of us, so to run something that takes that much time is kind of hard to do when we're doing this around a work schedule. The history of April Fools is kind of interesting. Acutally, nobody is sure exactly how it started, but historians have a pretty good idea. You can read about it here. -------------------- |

What if this WAS the april fools? We can't read the news, though it seems a stupid dupe. I've heard worse.

Actually, if you look at the main page now, @Leaky would still report any news. (They updated earlier with a Vlog segment) The characters are also posting a few reminders about contests and The Quibbler if you'd like to look at those. You can still access all of MyLeaky by going to the MyLeaky page directly. -------------------- |

I too like the old games/parties April Fools Day on Leaky, but I can certainly understand it being hard to do during the middle of a regular work week.
I have never been on Twitter and really didn't know much about it. I did enjoy following the conversations between all the characters. I missed a lot of it though, due to having to work. Is there anyway to go back and read it through the whole day. Also, I really loved the Twitter names. I wrote a lot of them down so I could remember them, but I am sure that I missed some. Is there a way to get a list of all of them. I though they were terribly funny and creative. I never did see any for Sprout or Flitwick though all the other Hogwart's staff seemed to be there.
