Heh… yeah, overall it was great, and the nut-reactions just added to the fun :)

I was surprised by the many who expected a halloween theme as a recurring thing, someone even wrote me a week ago to tell that he had set his clock forward in anticipation of the theme, so it seems we definitely should make it a recurring thing, I guess we really need a seasons folder with themes for all the seasons :)

Sounds lovely. Can we just make it optional?

No. Allan will force us all to become members of his pagan/satanist pumpkin-worshiping (or in winter, snowflake-worshiping, etc.) death cult. Muaahaahahahaha

I'd like to add to the chorus of sadness; the Halloween theme made my day and it's a shame that some people have no sense of fun and humor. When the stars are right and dred Cthulhu comes to claim us from the unknown depths beyond nightmares, I know he will treat them in a manner befitting their overly-serious views.

But I have to say I think part of what made the Halloween theme fun would be taken away if it was up to me to apply it. I'd rather see the fun continue, and I'd love a few more each year to be sure. I suppose an option to turn it off once it appears, or maybe just before, would suffice to quell the nay sayers (until Cthulhu eats them, of course). :-)
