gollark: One thing I was considering doing for April Fools was "osmarks.tk™2.0" (or 3.0 now), which would have constant random loading screens, randomly download 2MB of Javascript (or say it was), sell all your data to Facebook (well, say it's doing that), have an unusable new style which looks like it was made for mobile devices, and randomly crash.
