are they actually serious about this???

Dude - look at the date.

I don't see what the problem is. I've been putting ads in my programmes for years (mostly for our future overlords). Not to mention the greatest game I've ever seen Lawrence Matheson's 'Theta vs. Pi 6' is full of Theta Propaganda (Or is it Pi Antipaganda?). In any case you should try the game yourself before making up your mind (I don't like to complement other programmers' programmes but credit where credit's due!). P.S. I know this is an April fools survey so please don’t bother pointing that out.

I KNOW this is the wrong place but i have a program idea and the idea place is closed...what do i do?

You could always send it out to programmers who you think would be able to make it (IE Programmers who programme in the language and on the calculator you think you'd want this programme to be made for). Alternatively you could always simply post it here.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA! THIS RUINS THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO TAKE UP LITTLE AMOUNTS OF RAM!!!!!!

Let's just go over this again.

A P R I L F O O L S. I wonder what that means?

Haha, it's amazing how many people don't get that even after the (what seems like) hundreds of comments saying "Great April Fool's day joke this year, guys" or something similar.

I forgot all about April Fools! I hope that this is just a joke!

Ads activated by the enter key... >)

GIVE ME MORE!!!!

If this is real I think It wrecks the programs.

This would make you wonder if people read the previous posts before they post their opinion. I guess that george ddn't. Isn't it a just good forum ediquite to do that. Now George might actualy think that the topc is real but we can all safely asume it isn't. If you submit a program that is encoded so people can't change it, the staff aren't going to hack it and put the ad in. To conclude this is their April fools joke. And now who wants to bet that someone will ask if it is real within 10 posts.

I expect that the very next post (or the one after, if the next is a reply to this) will be such a complaint.

Dude, is this real, or some kind of joke?

That's what the bartender said when a rabbi, a priest, a minister, a snake, a duck, a chicken, a man with an eye patch, a man with a wooden leg, and an ordinary-looking man with a briefcase walked into the bar.

P.S. If you haven't got it yet for some reason, APRIL FOOL!

It seems a lot of people don't realize this is a joke (at least 40% don't)

these are stupid!!

For the LAST TIME (I hope):

APRIL FOOLS!!!

Oh, wait. It's almost May now...

MAY FOOLS!!!

Why should we have wasted RAM in our calculators? I can see the point of this "advertising", but why put the ads inside our programs? What is wrong with just putting ads directly on all the pages of ticalc.org? Most people get their programs directly from the directories anyways, and they would see the ads.

For the COMPLETE, FINAL, CONCLUDING, ULTIMATE, *L*A*S*T* time...
