I actually hate this as my internet connection resets due to the graphics and the script itself. What are your comments for forums that have snow on it? Do you still go on it? Do you have it and on what pages?
 
It's nice for a little while.. But then it gets super super annoying really fast. Would never do this on my own forum.
 
I've seen it done and was pretty nice. I always used it on my forum when I had one.

I'm with Skillet on this one. There's no way I would have this on my forum, ever. I find it way too distracting. Maybe for the beginning of December it would be okay, but I don't like snow in real life, so I would never do this on my forum at all.
 
It's kind of annoying.

Really you should just put some snow in your banner or your forum category image and leave it be afterwards.

Yeah, snow in the banner would be kind of cool, but not having it all over the forum, like some sites do.
 
I had it on the index page for a couple weeks before Christmas. Wasn't too bad, and everyone liked it.



I've seen it done with hearts on Valentines Day, balloons for an anniversary--one day events only....
 
Ive done it.. Only on the index page so it doesnt get overwhelmingly annoying.
 
Having it on the banner would be a great idea but then you would have to worry about flash.

Its okay maybe for a few days but after that it gets really annoying. It slows down browsing too.
 
I dislike it, I think if forums have it, it should be on a separate template which members can choose.
 
I've seen some forums do it right before as to where it wasn't much of a bother, but for most, it slows down my browser a whole lot and the snowflakes get in the way of the words and distract me and annoy me, so I don't like it very much.
 
Never done that and don't really plan to. Slows down the site (potentially) and even if it doesn't it's just a cheap annoyance.
