Avalonna Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 No way, Steve. I got as far as jettisoning the "rebellion" and know it was a cunning hoax.

guest439437484421 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 my thought process was "you really shouldn't post anything serious on april fool's day", then read the title, was highly skeptical, then read "Nerd Fitness has been acquired." and knew it was a prank. good job.

bigm141414 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 For about 30 seconds yeah. I've seen other website blogs get bought out so it was not totally unheard of. And knowing Staci was visiting you last week didn't help my paranoia. Good for you Steve. You got me.

msuroo Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 You lost me at "acquired" (ie, right away). Organizations get acquired all the time, but nobody except for analysts uses that langauge when talking about it (it's always joining another great brand/team/etc).

Elder Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I was fooled! I didn't get suspicious until you started describing some of the new items you were going to create...but even then you had me worried. I also had forgot the fact that April 1st is April Fools day.

Relic Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 2) A focus group of people who hadn't seen Star Wars determined that "The Rebellion" was too confusing and controversial of a community name, potentially alienating those who feel threatened by alternative thinking.suspicions arise...Thus, instead of "Join the Rebellion!" we'll be urging people to "Join the Fun Fit Squad, or don't. Either way, you're great!"laughter erupts Quote To find piece with myselfI must first find a piece of myself Link to comment
joedog Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 When I got the email titled "The Future of Nerd Fitness" I got a little sick to my stomach. I've worked for a big corporation long enough to know what that means. I couldn't get it to load on my phone and saw the Facebook comments before I got to read it.

Thilde Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 You totally had me, but I was getting skeptical, thinking, "OMG this so does not sound like Steve, what happened???" And then I read about losing the term "Rebellion" and that pissed me right the heck off, but then, like several others said, I got to the part about being charged a fee, and from there it just got crazier and crazier....as soon as I read you were moving to PA and taking a cubicle job I was like, "Dude this guy just travelled the world, NO WAY is he going to chain himself to a desk!" So I scrolled all the way down hoping for an "APRIL FOOL'S!" and there it was. A bigger sigh of relief has never been breathed. Quote Link to comment

Hitchie Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I got up to burning belly fat. Before that point I was completely suckered. I need to remember not to let my guard down after April fools is finished in New Zealand. Every year I get fooled because websites prank me on the 2nd of April. One of the few downsides to seeing in the new days first. Quote Link to comment
