Sorry, but the fire on the folders thing is so damn distracting.
As a part time web designer, I find the animated gif to be annoying. I steer my clients away from this form of design as it does nothing but annoy and distract people.
PLEASE, I beg you, if you are going to put it there, let us turn it off. I feel like I am going to get sick from seeing those things!
I don’t know if this complaint is worthy of the pit yet. I’ll try begging and pleading in the “About…” forum for a few days. If that doesn’t work, I’ll be back.
I don’t mind them distinguishing the “hot” topics (because I personally prefer to respond to the ones with fewer replies). But those ridiculous flames. Oh! The humanity!

Damn, agisofia, and I was just starting to like you enough to ask where you worked so I could hit your table on my next trip to Vegas (prob in Feb.)
Now I see that you are the devil incarnate.
Not that I believe in luck, but I don’t wanna play no craps with the devil. I already coughed up my soul trying to win a stupid golden fiddle. Don’t wanna lose the 401K to boot.
The ironic part is, one more post after this one and this folder gets a flame! We are adding more flames in our attempts to quash them. Geez, it only takes 15; who cares if a thread has more than 15 posts? I can read the post count for myself.
Enough calmness. I HATE the flames–and the new smilies. I hated them when I first saw them on the LBMB. I hate them there, I hate them here, I hate them in a box, with a fox, wearing socks. If I wanted to see weird faces and flames I’d set clowns on fire.
New threads tend to get lost amidst all the cheap animation. Instead of flaming big threads, flame threads that have zero responses so we can see something new is afoot.
I guess since this is the Pit, I should say that if you disagree with me, then kiss my hairy ass. :mad:
