I forgot all about the hats, but I did look for a speed challenge this morning. There could still be a speed challenge in the next few days. I'm sure it's happened before that they've come on a different day than when one would have expected them.
More proof that this is a dying site because it's a mere afterthought for Langdon now? I guess I really do miss the good ole days of DPC. *sigh*
I haven't seen any proof yet that this is a dying site nor that Langdon is paying less attention. The trends are changing somewhat but from what I can see it looks like the participation on the voting site ha been nearly unchanged the past year. The entries has gone down but I think it's too alarming yet. And I really doubt that the santa hats are proving anything :)
Langdon is not able to bring the good ole days (at least not alone). That is something the users has to do IMO.

Its just been one of those traditions that has always been here since I have been here. How else would you explain it other than he's paying less attention? I guess its just a detail that I really enjoyed.

I've been a member since early 2004 but only really remember them last season. I guess I never really paid much attention to it. But I see your point. It's always disappointing when a tradition is broken whatever the reason.
But according to this thread we didn't get them until the 25th last year so who knows. So they might still show up - who knows! :)

Yeah, I see that, and 'site death' is a bit over-dramatic, but I just hate to even think of this place on a steady decline with no one steering the ship. I do, however, remember the hats several times.
I would love to see the Santa hats back, but even better would be green hats with lumps of coal instead of bobbles on the heads of all known trolls. It can't be that difficult to winnow out those, and possible voting circles of trolls who are only here to ruin things for everyone else. Add a yellow-shirt icon for those who are not only trolls, but who are too cowardly to enter challenges themselves.

CRAP... I have been found :O)

Don't be silly, Ray, we all know you're Santa Claus! ;-)
I have it on good authority that L has decided the site needs to stay secular, in deference to the diverse membership. As such the site now observes Festivus.
At DPC, we celebrate Festivus every day of the year, by airing our grievances! ;-)

DPC...another casualty of the ultra-PC world. That's disappointing. Last I checked, Santa Clause was pretty secular - unless one of the religions assimilated commercialism while I wasn't paying attention.
