Make the snow STOP!

[Carnagath]

So, did anyone else notice that the falling snow decor in the background sort of follows your mouse movement? I did. And I'll I've done in the last 20 minutes is move my cursor left, then right, then left, then right. Left... Right... Listen, Escapist, I'm sure you've realised that you've got some pretty obsessive people reading this website. DO NOT TEASE THEM SO!!!

Oh, hey, happy holidays too.

Oh, whoa, I didn't even realise, thank you! *Off to waste even more of my time directing snow where to fall*

I like the fall, but the actual background with the trees and mountains; way too sloppy for me, it doesn't feel very, "Escapist-y."

I didn't notice that...
I can't stop now.

I actually really like. The background keeps up with the blue motif that I associate with the Escapist. It also replaces all the white that's normally there now with the new updates, which was my only complaint about it.
Keep it up guys, I approve.

If you have NoScript or something that provides similar functionality, you can block http://cdn.themis-media.com/js/snowstorm.js (even Opera's built-in Content Blocker can be used to shut off the snow by adding that URL to it, despite not strictly being a Javascript blocker)

I'm sure it can also be blocked using your browser's User JS feature, if it has one, though I'm not experienced in using user JS files.

Though really, it doesn't appear to be very MUCH snow... then again most of the background is hidden by the forum.

Turning off Javascript entirely would work, but would also kill other functionality.

The Escapist refuses to load for me on firefox. I just get the backdrop and the snow. Nothing else loads.

But yeah, I did spend around five minutes playing with it.

Turn off adblock, that's why it won't load.

Where'd you get that from?
