Not accepting entries????!!!!!!!

Unpublish/republish is not a hack around contest rules.  The I'bles database knows the original publication date.  The rules for the April Fool's contest are clear:  you must publiish a new Instructable (i.e., on or after the opening date of the contest).

yeh it is on or after but you can just edit an old one but not do anything and add it to the contest

No, you can't.  If you edit an existing I'ble, the original publication date stands.

Don't be lazy.  Make a new (and better!) Instructable and publish that.
