So now you suggest having every user put a script in their global CSS to stop something that shouldn't be there at all.

Try a checkbox to turn it on. Ok I see what you did, I was calculating the RAM usage of the background compared to the overall RAM usage of the site.

I wasn't suggesting every user modifying their global.css, that's only if users really want to disable it, I figured most people wouldn't mind it, but that's why I am making a poll to see what the majority think. Also for the checkbox, it would just be a toggle, so on/off order doesn't really matter, but I was thinking default would be on, and disabling it would be an option for people who have RAM problems or don't find it appealing.

Also, so why do you think the animated background doesn't belong here? In my personal opinion, I thought it might be cool if the wikia was styled like the application; however, if enough people feel the same as you, I'll remove it, or at least make a checkbox.
