but here's a question for the staff (which is the point of Feedback, isn't it?)

actually, it's more than one question:

why did you do it?
who was in on it?
had you been planning it for a long time, or did it just happen and get manipulated into an April Fool's joke?
are the new CKs (eest and foa) going to stay CKs?
can I be a Recognized Member?
