View submission: Sequence - Recapping The Fools of April
Place was amazing. It holds a special place in all of our hearts as a moment equivalent to witnessing the birth of magic. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of any internet experiences that aren't somewhat 'lame' in comparison. But we still build stuff every year for people to play with... some people play and have fun. Some don't. I respect your opinion either way.

Why not do Place again after 5 years or so?

Most April Fool's here have knocked it out of the park. The longer the site is up the more you'll have to compare yourself with, and are bound to look worse in comparison at some point. You can't keep improving forever.
With that being said, Reddit Mold and the Team Fortress 2 takeovers are some of my favorite parts of the site. The Button was a great way to test user interaction in an isolated area for the event, and Place improved greatly upon that.

Twitch plays Pokemon.
That and /r/place are the most unique and best experiences I've had with the internet.

r/reddit.com captured the freedom, unpredictability and community of place on a daily basis.
Everything Reddit has done since shutting it down has been a disappointment.
