Halloween Sidebar This year?

Mon Oct 31, 2005 4:17 am

I haven't used another sidebar since last Halloween. Strange, it doesn't feel like a year has gone by. Perhaps because, as others mentioned, we haven't had near as many sidebars as they promised. I was expecting at least some basic colors, red, blue, green, etc., by now. I could even live without so many blasted avatars if they made a new one every two weeks.

I really hope we get the sidebar (and the chance to keep it!) again this year. It's the only sidebar I really like and want to use. Last Halloween I was out at a party and missed it (I am usually online at midnight NST), but this year I'm going to make sure I'm here to refresh, so they better give it out again!

I guess we'll know in a few hours whether we get the sidebar for the day, at least!

I'm going to scream if it's a minute window like last year.

I was online at that time, I just hadn't gone to a page in those 60 seconds because I was reading text >.>

Well, I don't have the sidebar. Maybe they'll apply it later when they're in the office, or after they update the news. I don't remember -- did we have it starting at midnight NST last Halloween? I remember having it for quite a while, but I don't remember if it was ALL day.

Didn't we keep it for a week before halloween?

No, it was just the one day.

If it's going to appear like last year, you won't be able to get it until 11:59 tonight (NST)

We all know you can't get the sidebar permanently (as an RE) until between 11:59 and 12 am NST (the last minute of Halloween). But everyone on the site is supposed to have the sidebar all day on the 31st, and we're annoyed that it hasn't shown up.

No.. it appeared at 12:00:01am NST last year on Halloween. It was between 11:59PM and 12:00AM at the end of the day that you could get it permanately.

Still annoyed it hasn't showed up >.>

Maybe it's currently being redesigned. or TNT pressed the "DELETE ALL" button again.

Oh, I thought you guys were angry cause none of you got it refreshing XP I'll just be over there now *wanders off*

The people off Neoboards are furious abt the sidebar. Most of them did not sleep just for the sake of it and got nothing back in return. poor sleepy heads

Why are they furious? I'll be mad if it doesn't show up at all this year and we don't even get a chance to get it between 11:59 and 12 am tonight, but I'm not really angry that it hasn't shown up yet. I'm a little annoyed, yes, but there's still plenty of time for TNT to put the sidebar up if they've forgotten or something glitched. I'm hoping it goes up with the news or something.

Bother...I'll just have to get up extra early tomorrow (at eight...no fair:P) to be there at midnight NST.

Then again, hang on. Do I really care about the sidebar?

I can't say that I do...and yet I want to get it...good heavens this is some sort of addiction.
