Christmas count-down counter

PH01 · 06-10-2003 10:25am #1

Surely it's about time that Boards.ie has a Christmas Count-Down counter banner on it's home page?

Btw, it's only 90 days to Christmas. Whoohoo!

Yavvy · 06-10-2003 10:54am

NO NO NO... please NO

dahamsta · 06-10-2003 11:45am

It's far too late to be doing this now. This should have been planned and developed 90 days before LAST Christmas so the counter should have been turned on on New Years Day. Start planning for Christmas NEXT year, that's what I say.

Good point. But why wait till New Years Day? Lets start it on Christmas Day itself - "365 days to go to Christmas"

I'm surprise that no one has thought about this before!

MarcusGarvey · 06-10-2003 1:43pm

Can we get a Christmas skin too ?

Crash · 06-10-2003 2:21pm

i like this idea. it'll drive people insane

ecksor · 06-10-2003 2:27pm

The amount of polls such as "Have you been naughty or nice" and christmas shopping ideas that could live under something like this is quite encouraging. Perhaps a commericial interaction forum with someone like Arnotts or Clerys and a tie-in with the Bargains forum would be a good direction to follow.

This has the potential to become a category.

Stark · 06-10-2003 2:30pm

Please no, it WILL drive me insane. At least wait till after Hallowe'en or something.

Christmas skin sounds good though. It would probably have to be really non-offensive to minority groups though, all black, none of that horribly offensive red and white nonsense ;-). And bye bye Santa Claus, you jolly fat Caucasian hate scum. Release those elf people that you've conquered!!

You know how bright colours offend people in this age of political correctness, eg: it's not like we can have the X-men running around in bright colours anymore, it looks ghey. (I really hope there are no other ghey undertones in that film). Bye bye batman's boy lover robin's green tights as well. the list goes on and on.

A Christmas Forum?! That's even a better idea! Good call Victor!

Evil Phil · 07-10-2003 1:57pm

How about a Halloween skin? That could be good.

That was me banging my head off the keybaord. Im sorry, maybe its a good idea to some people. But I hate christmas and all it has come to stand for.

I just see a christmas fourm as the usual commercial crap i spend most of the autum and winter trying to avoid. I can see the merits of a christmas commercial fourm but thats all.

Everyother aspect of christmas could be covered in another fourm.

For example :
christmas shopping -> Rip off Ireland, Commercial
Holidays -> travle, Holidays, work
Christmas Partys -> Gigs events
Christmas TV/entertainment -> Most of the Arts fourms
Actual christmas discussions-> society/humanaties/Humour
and so on

DeVore · 07-10-2003 3:41pm

Isnt that WORSE tho Alany? Now you have to avoid christmasy stuff in ALL those forums... rather then avoiding one forum.

You can also get to legitimately fling poo and howl at anyone who starts christmas threads outside the Christmas forum!

Noones getting exploited, its christmases own fault that it messed itself up. If it could govern itself without having other holidays like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa to help it then none of this would be an issue. Damn leftist conformists!!!!!

PH01 · 08-10-2003 10:19am

Alany, just because the Dubs were knocked out early this year in the championship there's no need to take it out on Christmas. OK?

Good onya mate! I must come clean, I'm beginning to dislike Christmas myself.

All I get at home is "...what are you getting me for Christmas?" and the like! Fuke-sake like! What is this world coming to?

"...I want this, I want that..."! FECK, if you really want it go buy it yerself?!

"... AND DON'T GET ME A FACKING STRIPPY WOOLY JUMPER EVER AGAIN"!

GAWD! Christmas used to be great years ago. What has happened?

Why not setup a Christmas Poo Forum?
