I doubt they would actually make a random forum user an admin...I've been an admin on other forums and I understand the sheer power they hold over forums...to just give such power away as a contest prize would not only be foolish, it would be out of character for any of the admins here, especially Ramsus.
No...the real April Fool's joke is those of us who bought the story. Are there gags around? Sure, but finding them isn't going to cause you to be an admin. I was just searching around for giggles for awhile.
