Remove the Harlem Shake Button?

[Progflaw99]

So, it's been around for a while. If it were a meme, it would have died ages ago, but from time to time the Harlem Shake button can be a fun little "Whoops!" when you mistakenly click it. Other times, it's just a hair annoying when you forget your media volume is turned up on your computer or phone.

While it's definitely not a make or break feature, it would be kind of nice not to have it anymore as it becomes much easier to click when browsing Chaos on mobile and therefore more of a nuisance than "fun". Long story short, is there anyone else who feels similarly, and should it be removed for a while - to return when we least expect it? (As opposed to always being there as it has been for at least a few months now, if not longer.)

Hands down the best feature on the site, what the heck?! Removing it would remove all that is good and pure about this place.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Leave.

Don't you have some faction to be running into the ground? You guys are on a roll

I've had a few annoying misclicks with it on mobile, but the more serious argument is that Harlem shake is a stale meme

I get the appeal of it, but it gets old and annoying after awhile, especially hitting it by accident.... in public.... on mobile.

What heresy is this....

Watch yourselves. I will not hesitate to allow this to spill over to an IC vendetta against your characters.

I mean, to give you guys a fresh voice - I'm brand new here, and my first time on mobile I mistakenly clicked the button, with my headphones on full volume.

You cannot imagine my horror, as I thought I was having a stroke at the time.

^_^ But hey, every site has its thing. My old one had crazy insane font and color modes, so...yeah.

Rolf, why must you kill the joy?

I think this used to be an april fools thing or event thing, and then it was just left up

Maybe you could roleplay the battle for the annihilation of the Harlem Shake. Winner take all.

Is there a way to make it at least a bit less easy to misclick on mobile?

It's also at the bottom of the page.

How does one "mistakenly" scroll to the bottom of the page and then "mistakenly" press the Harlem Shake button?

I had to purposely scroll down to the bottom and then purposely hit the button.

You sir are amazing just from being able to mistakenly scroll down to the button and then mistakenly press it.

In his defense, when you go to click desktop mode on your phone (in order to get the full site, and switch accounts, etc) the button is right by the Harlem Shake button...

Exactly this. While on mobile, it is actually quite easy when transitioning from Mobile to Desktop view as the Harlem Shake button is wider than the "Desktop Version" button.
