do NOT do the Christmas banner this year - it makes the site slow and is quite frankly, a pain in the backside.


The old snow banner was Javascript based and indeed it was heavy, but the new snow is CSS based so it is as lightweight as possible.

The old snow banner


Next Year you should do it for the Southern Hamisphere and have 4 wheel drives on the beach :)

Edit : then Robin can't complain won't be snow to make it slow :).

Are you implying Vlad is Santa?

Do you know him at all?

He is more of a grinch than a Santa

I actually thought this when Vlad donated 30 credits to Santa for the Giveaway..... isn't it odd, I thought, for Vlad with his tax troubles to give money for this contest? Wait, isn't that the money people have spent for their own supporter credits?

You never see Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room, either, but we know Batman's identity is Bruce Wayne.

There are those people in the world that just make things nicer/better/more pleasant. And there are the other kind who turn the nice/better/pleasant thing sour.

Aren't Batman and Bruce Wayne always seen in the same room? It's just that one of them is always in disguise..

It isn't Christmas properly until people start complaining about the Christmas banner slowing thier browser down. And we can't complain about it until it's up in the first place so chop chop!

I think you've mistaken Bruce Willis for Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa which truly is the best Christmas movie ever made :))

Die Hard's great but not really a Christmas movie, just notionally set at Christmas. Like whichever one of the Batmans it was. And same way Mallrats isn't an Easter movie

(still more Christmassy than East 17's Stay Another Day though)

Some people would argue otherwise, for it's often a part of their Christmas traditions to watch these sorts of movies during the Christmas season. My family, however, gets up at 5am Christmas morning to start a marathon with the extended version of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and those movies have nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever.
