I regret to announce that dance.net is no more. Due to our high operating costs and low advertising rate, we've been forced to sell our assets including our domain name and user base. Henceforth, this site will be dunce.net!



If you are a dunce^TM, (and how many of us aren't?) you will be happy to note that you now have a new home here. The new owners, Dunce Networks Inc., are a multi-national conglomerate making everything from Dunce^TM toothpaste to standardized IQ tests. The domain dance.net is valuable for the proximity of the word "dance" to "dunce". They are also considering renaming their company due to the negative associations with the word "dunce," and "dance" is a happy friendly word.
<p>
They have promised to keep all existing user accounts. You will also be offered a chance to upgrade your account to a Premium Dunce^TM account. This offer is only available for people who score a 170 on the Dunce IQ Test^TM or their real last name happens to be "dunce!" Yes, the exclamation must be part of your last name. The founder, Horton B. Dunce has a real affinity for all Dunces everywhere and also sells a legal name changing service.
<P>
In addition, you can become a Premium Dunce^TM by participating in the new dunce marketing campaign. Just mark "Dunce Networks Inc" on your forehead (or just "Dunce" for short) and snap a picture of yourself in public. Mail it to us and get your account upgraded for free!



They have other exciting news they wish to forward on to the former dance.net members:



<li>Get a dunce.net business e-card! Be the envy of the business world! This is a free service subject to a credit check. Those failing the credit check are subject to a $20 bad credit fee. Only apply for this if you truly are credit-worthy and a real dunce!</li>

<li>Get ready for free email! You can have your own identity @dunce.net. (This offer only valid for Premium Dunces^TM.) Non-premium dunces can use this service in a advertiser support format or via the aforementioned dunce marketing campaign.</li>

<li>Rate someone's dunceness! In two weeks time, you will be able to rate someone's dunceness. The rate button will be replaced by a new "rate this user's dunceness and be a dunce yourself!" button. (Yes, I've been informed that the title on this button is a bit long and may in fact stretch your browser window, but this should not impact your overall browsing enjoyment here!)</li>

<li>And much much more!</li>



So, on this auspicious date, let me bid farewell to all the members who've made me smile. The thought of you all becoming dunce.net members truly warms the cockles of my heart and makes the grin all the wider.



So long, and thanks for all the fish!

That was wonderful, and thanks for the Hitchhikers reference.

OMG, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! LOL, I even like the title at the top of the page. You have no idea how scared I got...I could feel my heart drop. Sites I've been involved with before have actually shut down (like voy.com . . ., may you rest in peace), and I was upset that was going to happen to this too! You win the best trick of the day award! (Sure beats my french teacher putting poisson, fish, on peoples backs!) Anyone think of a good way to get Linh back yet? If so, I'M IN!

Christine

Nice one, u got me freaked out and confuse!

Christine, did you guys do "poisson d'avril?" We did that! My French teacher (she is a little bit on the weird side) was running around yelling, "Poisson d'avril! Poisson d'avril!" LOL!
-Chrissy

i totally thought it was true until i read the comments

silly me....

lol, that was good, but i'm so glad it is only a joke!

oh my gosh!! i had no idea it was a joke until i read replies... good one linh!!!

Hehe, yep Chrissy we did poisson d'avril. Your teacher sounds a lot like mine, I can definatly see him doing that! At one point our "fish" got out of the classroom, and this guys who obviously doesn't take french was walking around with this fish on his back and he was competely clueless, I was cracking up! It is pretty funny to see someone walking around with a fish dangling off their back!

Christine

Meggie
