The Public Access Weekly: What kind of fool?

Welcome to your April Fool's edition of the Public Access Weekly -- the holiday that every journalist hates with the power of 10,000 suns! While we're busy pulling our hair out trying to figure out which of our emails are adorable jokes and which are sincere pitches, there's been a ton of stuff going down this week. To whit: The Microsoft Build event, HoloLens, a Tesla Model 3 event, we closed comments for a week, then we opened comments back up again... In short, we're all ready for copious amounts of puppy GIFs, Daredevil-watching and trying to get that last world key in Plants vs Zombies 2. (Maybe that's just me...)

Over on the Public Access page, things are just humming right along - and March was a fantastic month! Let's break it down by the numbers:

• 57 total articles went live in March (that's up from 39 posts in February!)

• 27 different Public Access members published stories -- including twelve newcomers who published their first posts. Welcome!

• The member with the most posts in March was a three-way tie between Kevin Nouse, Cormac Reynolds and Amit Sen who each posted five articles. Nice going all!

And for those who are curious, the top ten most read posts of March (again, not counting the Public Access Weekly posts) were:

1. Why I Won't Purchase the New Galaxy S7 (or Edge) by Richard Heby

2. We're shutting down our comments...see you next week by Amber Bouman

One of my favorite things to do every morning is read the new posts on Public Access, so thank you sincerely to all the members who spend so much time crafting their articles and posts! Y'all are really the best, and kudos to you.

Our decision to take a break from comments provoked a lot of suggestions, thoughts and feelings. While we're sifting through all those responses, weigh in and tell us: What would you do to create an amazing comments section? What is your ideal comment section look like? Or, where is your favorite comment section on the web?

We thought for a moment that Juicero was a joke -- a $700 cold-pressed juice maker, it's like a Keurig for your o.j. -- but as it turns out, it's legit and plenty of people were eager to sign up on the wait list for one. This begs the question: What's the most ridiculous/useless/pointless piece of tech you've ever seen (or used)? Or, what's the best joke gadget you've come across?
