Dear Fellow CCFers,
Due to highly inappropriate comments made in the Modern Comics section last night, the mods and I have come to the conclusion that the only sensible reaction to the level of hostility we have viewed on the boards as of late is a complete and total forum-wide reset beginning tonight at 8pm EST. All existing threads will be deleted, and the forum will compress into three simple sections that will be easier for the moderators to patrol.
These will include:
Modern Comics Discussion
TV / Film / Video Game Discussion
Classic Comics / Fan Fiction Discussion
It is our opinion that compacting into these three streamlined sections will make the CCF a website that is more conducive to simple conversation that does not get bogged down in detail, which leads to disagreement, which leads to frustration and outburst.
In other unrelated news, I am currently in talks with Valnet about rebranding The CCF under their corporate banner in order to bring you fresh new content about the latest news occurring in the comic book industry. Expect a total site redesign coming soon. All told, it looks to be a brave new world for the Cool Comics Forum (trademark and new url are in the works!).
(Happy April Fool's Day)

I thought April Fools were supposed to be done before midday? I read that, thought "April fool", then thought "oh Hell, it was posted after 1.00PM and panicked before scrolling down...

When I was 12, my mom woke me up screaming "April Fools' Day!" I told her it was March 31st, and she told me that was the joke.

Shax You might as well tell the folks about the new Pudding Subsection that will be created next week. After reading about the financials of keeping this site running, we have partnered with Kozy Shack as a sponsor. No more intrusive ads popping up on your browser. An actual profit to be made by Shax and the hard working mod staff. State-Of-The-Art Podcast tools. A YouTube channel dedicated to this site. CCF Hoodies. And lots more to come in the future All it will take is a seperate sub-forum dealing with Pudding (with yours truly as the mod), A revised Front Page and a slight tweak to the URL which will hereby be known as Pudding and Classic Comic Forum-PCCF.org Everything else will remain the same. Just remember, the next time you are at your local grocerers, try Kozy Shake Pudding, makers of fine, mouth-watering sweetness such as Rice Pudding, Chocolate Pudding, Vanilla Pudding , Tapioca Pudding and Flan. Gluten Free and supplemented with your daily needs of Vitamin A. That's Kozy Shack. And don't forget to try our new Indulgent Pudding-Salty Caramel Kozy Shack-Makers Of Fine Pudding

If I were ever to take a corporate sponsorship, it would totally be Kozyshack rice pudding. I'd just want to do this to it:

This might have fooled me, had I not read it at 7:30 pm CDT/8:30 EDT.
My favorite comic April Fool's joke was from Comic Shop news, back around 1987/88 (probably 88, based on the calendar). The issue had a headline about Marvel buying DC and the changes that were to follow. In the age before the internet, it seemed possible, though I had doubts. One, DC was owned by Warner Communications, which was a media giant. Still, stranger things happened in that era. However, the changes were more ludicrous the more you read. When you opened up the paper (which came folded, so the headline appeared), you saw a flip-headline, saying April Fools.
