Well, it's that time of year again, but instead of our usual blatantly heavy-handed approach to April Fools, this year we went much more subtle.
So subtle in fact, that there's a 25,000 WGD prize for the first person to correctly identify our (mostly) hidden April Fools joke for 2015.
May the most observant Watcher win.

Of course. We've been planning this thing for weeks.
(At least days, ha.)

I think there isn't anything and you're just trying to drive us crazy.

Yep, that's the most obvious answer, Sorus.

Speaking of going mad, has it always been "KevinsWatch" in the banner (as in a Watch of Multiple Kevins) instead of Kevin's Watch?

I thought you had something there, but according to the
screenshot page the KevinsWatch banner has been that way since 2008.

I'm sticking with my original guess.
Not that I've spent an inordinate amount of time scrutinizing every inch of the site or anything.

Found it.
If you zoom in on the title art, you can see Ted Cruz's head between two trees.

Really guys? I'm so disappointed at your lack of trust.
It's right there in the topic title.
There
is no Grand Prize.

Actually, you're wrong on both counts. It's always been "Kevin Swatch", AKA Avatar's favorite punk rock band bassist.

And here I was worried that I'd missed something by not coming by yesterday.

I came closest. Hand it over.

So, Sorus won?

Sorus was completely wrong!

Well.
It's a matter of perspective, isn't it?
Nothing was different on the Watch, it's true. But I didn't say something was different.
Just that there was an April Fools joke. Which there was. In fact, the joke
was the joke.
So.
Both wrong.
But not so wrong that you don't get a 10k consolation prize.
5k for Murrin for being a suspicious bastard.

I'd say saying there's nothing to find is completely, unambiguously the same as saying that this thread
is the joke, considering the context.
Howver, if you're actually giving out prizes, then it's all a pack of lies and there actually was no joke.
