This as long as it is not done inside an existing serious thread. Possibly even in a fixed thread set up specifically for the purpose (a new one each year).
Kind of like a Voynich-dedicated April fools' day.

Yet another option would be to have 8 April as the non-serious day, exactly one week after April 1st, and 4 August as the serious day.

April 8 was one of the alternate dates in the tie breaker vote. 4th month 8th day = MS 408. I don't like the idea of splitting up into 2 separate observance dates any more than Koen but maybe we could start setting up for the 4 August date on April 8. Members can submit their Voynich themed April Fools entries on April 8 in a dedicated thread then we could have a poll to vote on the best ones, which could then be presented in a separate dedicated thread on 4 August.
Similarly, if there will be any other polls in advance of VM Day, we could start those dedicated threads on April 8 as well and then present the results in a new thread on 4 August. There might be other activities we could set up similarly, like a call for papers or submitting artwork or music
All 4 August presentation thread links would then be included in the agenda/program thread and in the event in the calendar and all those threads could then contain links back to the original setup threads.
