A little holiday spirit

mlee49 · Dec 12, 2009, 03:41 AM

Can TPU get a little festive on the front page? How about a santa hat on the TPU logo on the front page?

Just for a few weeks maybe

Merry Christmas TPU!

Festive is nice. I would rather see Santa next to the logo (color changed to green and red) reading his naughty/nice list on a custom rig. Then i can make jokes about how Santa plays FPS on a his rig called "Bowl full of Pwned".

Not a bad idea at all mlee, merry christmas to you too!

95Viper · Dec 12, 2009, 05:09 AM

Have a Merry Christmas mlee49 and everyone else.

How about a Santa Wiz doing a naughty/nice ban list sitting on the servers!

Just a thought...

Or Santa in front of the comp, and a reindeer pointing to his watch saying it is time to deliver the gifts, and Santa responding "one more level" or something

Merry Xmas everyone, I think Solaris17 have changed his sig to a more festive one.

Go with that one genius.

This reminds me. It's time to break out the Christmas Kirk avatar.

I also like the idea of doing something festive to the logo. I'll try to whip up something respectable by this afternoon and see if W1zzard approves.

Thanks Polaris, I appreciate the help. Nice touch with the Chritsmas Kirk.

Polaris573 · Dec 14, 2009, 05:37 PM

Haven't had the ambition to do anything yet. Maybe tomorrow after my last final exam.

Cold Storm · Dec 14, 2009, 05:44 PM

Good luck for the Final Exam Polaris!! Now, I can't wait to see the holiday cheer on the front page. Gotta get my hat going.
