I've been around this site for quite a long time, so I've gotten to experience a bunch of April Fool's stuff live! However, I know this site has a lot of new folks, and I know I've forgotten some things-- so I'm asking for your help.
If you have any screenshots of past years' shenanigans, could you post them here?
This isn't meant to be an item guide or anything, but more of a funny throwback thread. I really wish I had taken screenshots while everything was happening, but I didn't have the presence of mind to.

I don’t have a screenshot, but one year they switched familiars and dragon spots. So it was familiar rising for a day xD

I distinctly remember the fake ads year.
For those who don't know, they were vaguely fr themed, very clickbait-y style ads that just led back to the homepage. I enjoyed them immensely.
I've forgotten most of the ads, and I unfortunately didn't take any screenshots, but one in particular stands out in my memory: "Find out why everyone is hoarding Wisp Fruit!" or something along those lines. This is because it made me hoard them. Turns out they're used in a couple swipp trades so it wasn't too irrationally sentimental.

2017: HD mode (dragons became bad interesting MS Paint drawings)
2018: Ads (FR themed, often pretty clickbait sounding ads instead of usual ones "advertising" things like familiar shelter, vacation offers in venues, new dragon game etc. Clicking them led to FR's main page)
2019: Familiar Uprising (dragons and familiars switched places)
2020: Waystone Pro (Waystone became "alive" and was saying various funny comments depending on where you were)
That's all I remember. Also I think back in 2016 there were those Marva eyes but I didn't experience it personally so may be wrong.

2016 was the Marva eyes! They came from mirrors. Like
Bishoujo Observation and
Saucer Stare.
In addition to the HD mode (MS Paint drawings) in 2017, there was also the
Marva's Invisibility Cloak and
The Emperor's New Clothes.
I wasn't around for it, but the rabbits and sweaters are also Marva items from April Fools. The sweaters (like
Glorious Sweater) came from spools of yarn, and the rabbits (like
Irradiated Astronomer) came from hats!
I've got a couple of screenshots from Aprils past! [s]Do I only take them on odd-numbered years or what?[/s]
