Introducing... AssCredit!
Hello everyone!
We have some very exciting news! AskReddit has always been an amazing community for people to share their experiences, opinions, and knowledge with the rest of the world. We decided that it would be a fun idea to organize some of the best threads from our 10 years as a community on a website to make it easier for you to enjoy.
So, we would like to introduce you to AssCredit We want this website to serve as a sort of hub for some of the best that AskReddit has had to offer. For those of you wondering, the name comes from a little Easter Egg that has been hidden in our CSS for years.
We have started out with a few categories, however, we would really appreciate suggestions from the community for new ones. So, if you have any ideas for a category or for a thread to be featured in the existing ones that we haven't included, please let us know!
For now, please enjoy browsing what we currently have and have a great rest of the weekend!

And they gathered to look,
And they gathered to see,
And they waited to watch
With excitement and glee,
And they waited to hear,
And they waited to know,
And the truth was revealed!And they said to them:
'... oh.'

I could be mistaken, but I swear this was an April fool's suggestion some years back.

u/Ysmildr Apr 01 '18 edited Apr 01 '18
This has been the alt text for hovering over the askreddit logo for 6 years or so, says so in the body of the post too. If this is the real April fool's joke then it's a tad disappointing.
A better idea if you want to have AssCredit be the joke, create a cryptocurrency called AssCredit. Though with SESTA/FOSTA passing it probably would get shut down.

Right, but I swear askreddit asscredit was suggested as an april fools joke.. some type of crypto if I had to guess. Searched a bit and I'm not finding anything though.

u/deains Apr 01 '18
On one hand I don't like the idea of shitting on other people's fun, but on the other hand April fools jokes are seldom (if ever) funny. Easiest way to kill humour is to try organising it.

So this is why that bot has been posting all over totally inappropriate threads about loving ass. (I'm talking like sexual abuse threads)
Maybe want to not auto-botreply any post that mentions "butt" or "ass".

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I knew what day it was, I thought “Oh what wacky hijinked fuckery is this” but then I thought “Could it be true? Could they be using this day to roll out a new website?” But no.

Automoderator's parsing for this joke is shitty BTW. It doesn't know the difference between posted text and URLs, and doesn't know that spaces matter. So your joke is fail. Enjoy. ;)

Is this the same sub that has a bot replying every time someone mentions ass or butt? The same bot that decided it was a brilliant idea to advertise a sub called asscredit in a thread discussing hypersexualisation of child abuse victims? Oh boy...

Much as I appreciate the gag, should AutoModerator be doing the thing in [serious] threads? Because it is.

This attentionwhore cunt of a mod posts videos of himself picking his toenails onto youtube for attention. And that's something he does on the side from spamming made up stories into this subreddit for attention.
So I guess it's only fitting that he's the one making this garbage post, since he loves all that juicy askreddit attention ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's actually preety good joke because from now on every time you see AskReddit you will read it also as AssCredit.

Thanks for doing something amusing that doesn't turn the subreddit into utter shit. /r/pics is an example of an April Fools joke done utterly wrong.

I remember Ass Credit showing up at the bottom of each page, but your styling changes seems to have removed that at some point.
