Oh, there's also autumnconfetti if you want confetti that matches a bit better. If you're interested in making your own confetti, here's an example of what you would add to your siteJS:
function initMyConfetti(canvas)
{
    initConfettiGeneral.bind(this)(canvas, ["purple", "pink", "plum", "orchid"], 1.0);
}

if(hasSpecial("myconfetti"))
{
    var animator = getBGAnimator();
    var animation = new Animation(drawConfetti, 20, 0, initMyConfetti);
    animator.addAnimation(animation);
}
The first function sets up the environment for confetti, which in this case is simply setting the colors to choose from and setting the speed. We need the "bind" because of the way the animator works (just copy that line and swap the colors around if you want). The second part checks to see if we typed "myconfetti" in the special field. If so, it adds your confetti animation to the background animation. When creating a new Animation, the first parameter is the function used to draw the animation (in this case, a function called drawConfetti that I already provide). The second parameter is the Z-index of the animation; higher = on top of other animations (this is not the css z-index). The third parameter is when to stop the animation; we use 0 to loop forever. Finally, the fourth parameter is the function used to initialize the animation. We use our function here so our confetti gets added.

Omg yay! More falling objects for my site! (Seriously im hoping too many wont cause lag lol) Edit: OMG IT'S BEAUTIFUL

So what if our computer can't render that many polygons on are screen? Can you add a setting to customize the amount of particles on screen? (Device Specific)

"Polygons" it's just a <canvas> IIRC, number of particles has to increase significantly to have a decent performance impact

Site Update October 25, 2016:
  • Added an optional popup chat so you can chat and browse SBS in the same window. When enabled, you can view the chat in a miniature window in the bottom right corner of the page. This option is disabled by default; go to your settings on userhome to enable it.
  • Fixed the random out of order messages in chat (usually when loading).
  • Textareas are now resizable.
Please try out the popup chat if you can. It actually feels rather nice!

Site Update 10/27/16:
  • Added ANOTHER experimental chat type called "fastProxy". This new proxy should feel just about as fast as the real chat, but it still works over HTTP and port 80. The embedded chat uses this now.
  • Fixed a chat bug where you'd randomly get "could not parse JSON". This is because your frame got fragmented, and I incorrectly parsed fragmented frames. This could happen on slow connections.
If you currently use chat with ?proxy=1 enabled, please try out ?fastProxy=1 instead. It is MUCH faster and less straining on the server. However, this new proxy doesn't always tell you when you get disconnected; I'll work on that next.

Site Update 10/27/16:
  • Added Random Gunfire when no users are active in chat for 5 mins /s
  • Trick or Treat :3

Site Update 10/28/16:
  • Made fastproxy even faster and made it detect most disconnects.
  • New polls will now link back to their original posting location (or at least, they should). This feature is experimental; it will slowly catch the old polls, but they may never get their links.
  • Add "guns" to your special field for a silly easter egg.

Can I please have an option to opt out of the forced halloween theme? I like my blue theme. :S

Put "noholidays" in your special field.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but there's a (very bad) snow animation you can use if you like winter or something. It goes very well with the sub:blue theme. In your special field, just add "snow". Actually, if you think you can make a better one and know how to use my CanvasLibrary, please feel free to do so! If it's good, I might replace mine with yours.

Lol Random you know I'm not THAT smart (kappa) (Oh wait emotes are only in chat lol) Besides I already use all of the Special Area Confetti Commands! I really love it! Autumn Confetti, Snow, and Normal Confetti! Thanks for adding them as separate commands!

You're welcome, Elzo!

Site Update 11/9/16: Yo, are you one of those people who have trouble viewing the website? Are things broken, or maybe you can't post anything? Maybe you're using an o3DS? Well check it, click that nice "High Compat" button at the bottom of the page and BAM, the website is (almost) guaranteed to work! You'll be able to login, view pages, post comments, and use the forums! In the future, I'll add the chat and some of the other broken pages. You cannot use badges, change settings, use chat, use the messagebox, search, use polls, or create programs/resources in high compatibility mode yet. Most of these will come in the future.
  • Added "High Compatibility" mode.
  • HC Homepage
  • HC Activity
  • HC Userhome / user page
  • HC submissions
  • HC forums
  • HC notifications

Dang you guys are really taking care of maintaining this site The server-side stuff must be chaos by now

Thanks! It's not that bad; the worst part is probably just bad html decisions. Styling the website is much harder than it should be lol.
