I miss the old game threads on CP when one of the members (Shawnski, I think?) would post the animated police beacon every time the Flames scored. I think he even added audio of some kind at one point too?

He somehow had a knack of getting that thing up so fast. When following the thread while watching the game, so often the beacon would light up before the goal on TV so you'd knew they'd scored before seeing it. I suppose that still happens with posts now, just no flashing lights. Seems to me it was a thing maybe during the '04 run and then a year or two following, or maybe it was even before '04. Sometime way back then anyway.

Someone who's on game threads every game should try and bring that back!
