The Woods

[Sabbyy]

I know it is fairly new, but I would like to verify there will be a seizure or stroke warning for The Woods. If it is not planned, I would like to give the idea. With the flashing on the background in The Woods, a seizure or stroke could happen. It'd be a good idea to keep members safe.

A moderator said something like "I hope nobody has epilipsy" or something.

I personally don't think it is even close to bad enough to cause an actual issue. The flashes are not that rapid.

That being said, I'm not an expert on the subject either, so a warning is in the description now.

 

[Sabbyy]

Great, thanks Justin. ^^" Not an expert on the subject either, but I wanted to make sure members are safe.

There is an article on wikipedia about this.

If there is red in the flickering, it should not flicker per 3 seconds. If there isn't, it should not flicker per 5 seconds.

The flickering isn't that fast so you should be safe

yeah what he said ^

flashes are 2 slow.

That flickering was ridiculous. I'm surprised nobody died.

Really? It wasn't that bad. Justin put a warning anyway.

|: It happened so sporadically. It was nowhere near that bad.

Watching a show like Cops is loads more dangerous than the Woods could ever hope to be. <_< Now that might induce some seizures.

Flashing? Am I blind or did I not see any D:

It's over now. If you weren't here last night, you missed it.

I've never heard of someone having a stroke from flashing lights

No one said anything about strokes? No one has to lolohstop.

I don't think that it was excessively dangerous. There was a warning attached, and to be honest, it wasn't really that bad. It's very unlikely that someone would die from looking at it. However, I do think that it was wise to attach a warning to notify people with serious medical conditions.

I didn't see any flashing although I was here...

Okaaaay that's enough. Clearly this thread is just going to devolve into endless bickering now.

For those not aware, there was a board called The Woods open yesterday for Friday the 13th. There was a special theme on that board with some flashing effects, among other spooky things.
