Rank icon and rep change?

[EloTheMan]

When I logged in today I noticed that the rank icon has changed (to a pirate version?) and that the rep icon is now using coins. Is it a response to the release of Mists of Pandaria or something else?

I searched the forums for any thread relating to it but I couldn't find anything. And then I made this one instead.

It's because today it's "Talk like a Pirate - Day"

Seems legit.

Arrr, if only BT was not against piracy.

Alright I'm gonna be honest here, I think this looks a bit too rushed and horrible.
The curtains in the header image just stand out too much, the ships image looks too stretched, I can't tell what's supposed to be next to the rank icons and the rep icons' colors are way too similar.
I know Ralle did this for a special event, but I don't think it should have been published in its current state. :S Everything looks so rushed. Maybe prepare something better for Halloween? ;P

Hey, it was all done in a few hours notice

We Talk " Arghhhhhh ... "

I think this should last like a week. One day is simply too short for a forum.

ARARARAAAAAAAR!!

The Talk Like A Pirate Day only lasts one day, and so should this thing

Would be nice

I would like to see a Halloween theme, I think holiday specials are good for almost any community.

By the way, wasn't there a competition with one once?

Very interesting.. I was also shocked at first until I noticed that ships in the header

Truly a joyful ride we're on and it has been some stormy days indeed.

Good idea cap.

Thank you.

Well.. I was just hoping to make people happy. Maybe next time we will have better graphics, I don't know.

I am disabling all the Pirate Day stuff for now. After all it is not TLaPD anymore.

I am closing the thread as it sort of served its purpose. Thank you for your input.
