"This thread has gone badly off the rails, and was significantly pruned.  Folks, let's all take a deep breath and take a step back for a moment, shall we?\n \n\n\n\tEmotions are running a tad high, but it's possible to extract some objective, factual statements from the foregoing donnybrook:\n \n\n\n\t\tModuleManager is displaying a \"nyan-cat\" animation upon game load time.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tIt will continue doing so until November 1, when it will stop.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tAs the mod's proprietor, sarbian is within his rights to do this.\n\t \n\t\n\t\tLots and lots of people use ModuleManager, so it's unsurprising that there are a wide variety of opinions.\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSome think it's a funny joke or don't care much.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSome don't like it, but are okay with workarounds or just waiting until 11/1.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSome really, really hate it and are very unhappy that it's there.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t \n\t\n\t\tFor people who don't like it, but want to use ModuleManager, there are several workarounds available.  Some examples:\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\tJust grit your teeth and make do until 11/1.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tAlt-tab away from the loading screen and come back when it's done.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tDownload the ModuleManager source, remove the cat, compile it and use your tweaked version.\n\t\t\t \n\t\t \n\t\n\t\tFor people who really can't stand it, and don't feel a strong need to use ModuleManager, or think it's expendable, then of course they're free not to use it, and do whatever else they want (don't patch stuff, or edit configs themselves, or whatever).  It's up to them.\n\t \n\n\tThat basically sums up all the objective facts from the pruned posts, with all the emotional baggage and name-calling removed.\n \n\n\n\tSo, we're done here.  There really isn't anything else to say about nyan-cat other than some pointless re-hashing of the above.  Let me remind folks that this thread is for talking about the mod itself, not about criticizing other people's opinions.  Let me also state the obvious, but it seems that people can use a reminder:  you're not going to change someone else's opinion or feeling about something.  They feel what they feel.\n \n\n\n\tOkay, opening up the thread now.  Please stay on-topic; nyan-cat complaint/support/etc. has been done.\n \n\n\n\tFurther antagonism will be considered flame-baiting and dealt with as such.\n \n\n\n\tThank you for your understanding.\n \n"
