Is it snowing on your computer?

Maybe the person has epilepsy and the snow was triggering episodes. I have no other explanation.

That's about the only understandable explanation imo.

It's not like the snow was flashing strobe style...after a few minutes you barely even notice it. I think someone was just being a little puss.

You're probably right. Looks like I'm the one turning into a pansy now.

The snowflakes will return....especially now that there's a Freeze warning.

Bring them back now. I just really want to piss off the douche that complained about them.

Not only that, if it is T-REX, he'll be gone for a while.

Queenie, I think it's cute you liked the flakes so much.

I honestly didn't really care, I just like it more that someone actually went out of their way to bitch about it and you caved and took them away.

Maybe you should threaten to leave and not come back until the snowflakes are back. See which poster ox cares about more.

It was I who PM'd Ox and requested he remove the snow flakes. I didn't bitch nor did I threaten to leave - I did say that I wouldn't be able to participate while they are there. They do affect me physically much like a video game does and I shared that with him and that it was to the point that I wasn't able to visit the site. I appreciated him removing them on my behalf so that I could continue participating on the site. I shared that I may not be alone.

I've mentioned to him that he can put/leave them up, but that I'd appreciate an email to me when they aren't there so that I am able to return. I don't expect everyone to understand.

I had no idea my simple request from a physical standpoint would create such strong emotions over snow flakes.

You ruined our snowflakes!! Ox ban him.

 

[MidwestChomp]

It was the closest thing to snow many have seen or experienced. You are brave for coming forward.

 

[WobbleGator]

The snowflakes are back! :happy:

I put the snowflakes up for the amusement of the board. I think they're cool. Then when I take them down, after less than a day, I get criticized. I try to make this place the best possible experience for everyone, and bring things to the table that you don't see on other boards. And whatever I do, I get jumped on by somebody. I put countless hours into this place. I just don't understand it. There's fair criticism and then there's nonsense like this.

The life of a Board Admin must be tough.

Ox, you can't please everybody all the time.

You're doing a great job with the place. The moment I saw the snowflakes on my screen, I thought to myself, "isn't that nice, it feels like the holidays are here." Now, I understand if a poster complains you want to make them happy. You want all the posters happy. It keeps the traffic flowing. I'm glad to see the snowflakes back. I don't know why, it just puts a smile on my face. I'm sure others feel the same way. It didn't really bother me that they disappeared, it just made me curious why. Now that I know why, my attitude is pretty much "meh, whatever, I can live with or without them."

I like the snowflakes, but can live without them.
As someone mentioned earlier, kudos for stepping forward.
Maybe Ox can remove them during the week and just display them on the weekends leading up to the holidays, and then on the holidays themselves. Just a thought.
