Submission + - No Slashdot April Fools Jokes in 2008 8

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes: Slashdot will not be participating in the April Fools jokes this year due to a lawsuit that was settled out of court with undisclosed terms stemming from the 2007 April 1st stunts. The false stories were determined to be too egregious by a yet to be named individual. Slashdot's parent company SourceForge, Inc. found it wiser to settle out of court then a lengthy battle that was obviously going to span several months.

The ponies will be missed.

And (assuming this is accepted), it's now on Slashdot, causing the Internet to suck itself into a black hole."
