What is this new devilry?

[Rui]

This was ironic. An idea just came up to me: "I'll suggest a christmas effect/board skin to the Hive", and suddenly I change page and the snow starts falling. I was like "WTF?!", yeah, for real.

Anyway, since I will no longer be suggesting anything, I thought our community would like to give their opinions. Put your hands up, people!

[RED BARON]

I just love it! Can we have special events every time some famous event comes up?... like flares when new year and so

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

We also had this last year.

 

[donut3.5]

Personally I think its kind of annoying, but I suppose it could be kind of fun.

Should only remain for December.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

I like it!!! Somtime's (very on often) somthine else should happen too, such as reindeer going past...

 

[Gilles]

Nah, that would be overkill. Just this is cool.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Yeah... I just meant in the backround (Were theres that grass and gray sky) were it probably wouldnt be noticed...

 

[Kwaliti]

Let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW!

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Is there a way to turn it off?

 

[Elenai]

Ahhhhhhhhh...I love the snow....

Elenai lays down and creates a cyber snow Tyrael....

 

[Gilles]

Is there a way to turn it off?

There certainly should be.

 

[Kwaliti]

By the way, did anybody notice that the front page received a revamp?

EDIT: The snowflakes are starting to eat my comp, is there a way to turn 'em off?

 

[Serbianbeast]

i like it a lot

 

[Supermj]

I like it, but I think it would be cooler if it was the background snow like on Bnet. That would day Wc3 more.

 

[Hakeem]

It sucks, it uses position absolute instead of fixed. Screw IE, I don't want it jumping when I scroll.

 

[Samuraid]

Indeed.

[DaedraEater]

Hmm... is there another backround OTHER than the Night Elf, because I really think that its officialy a pet peeve (oh no!!! what are we going to do??!!)

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

The only time I mind it is when it freezes up so its a bunch of suspened white specks. Otherwise its good..

 

[RED BARON]

well the idea of replacing the leafs and wood with ice and snow (from the other tread about this) I kinda like... but thats a big job to do for ralle.

Also I realy dunno what people have against this.. HeretoDLstuff's sig is much more disturbing

 

[Draemiel]

I thought my screen was dying at first. Then I realized that a dying screen wouldn't just have white specks falling down it, if it even did. I think it's pretty cool, but yeah there probably should be a "Turn it off, it's killing my computer" button someplace.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

'snow joke.

[Moontraveler]

I don't like it... It slows down the computer I use to mod and go on the interenet with.

 

[Tastier]

I think it's nice, but then I haven't noticed my computer slowing down. I agree there should be more site skins besides the night elf one though.

 

[Josh]

When I logged in, Im like, cool, snow.

actauly it doesnt.. unless of course you realy have a realy realy realy slow Pc

Which it then seems like you have..

 

[Moontraveler]

Look when your non gaming pc has .5 gb of ram. (My gaming computer has 2 gb of ram....)

I have an external hard-drive with about 60 gb left, and a wireless router right next 2 my pc.

Yet I still lag in newer games and on b.net.

 

[Modo]

I thought there was dandruff on the screen (I dont have dandruff mind you)

Snow is kinda rediculous for me. It is summer here in Australia and where I live, as with most of Australia, it doesn't snow, even in winter.

Christmas is an extremely dissapointing time of year.

Yeah, that happened to me when I lived in Spain. On the chilly side, but no damn snow (except for one year and the snow only stayed for an hour )

thats proably because of your processor... and / or maybe you amount of ram

off-topic: Woo there is real snow outside! Good'ol Canada!

Already?? lucky...

Same here. Personally I didn't notice any detrimental effects because of the snow...

 

[RED BARON]

Thats because it realy should have any effect.... I am currently using an old 98 (school comp) which realy realy sucks.... but no effect to the speed. (except it is already slow)
