    geraldlarousse:
    Now the clapping. That might take a year or so to get a option to turn it off.

    Gerald, you are getting more sceptical by the day.

    Of course they will create the button soon. The programers are probably working on itright now.

    Here is the prototype.

    It's like the Golf Channel score toolbar, after 2 weeks nobody even noticed it anymore...

    I almost sharted my drawers the 1st time I unexpectedly got the clap, i don't even notice it anymore...I don't like it! but don't even bother me now...

    When the golf channel tool bar came out I was first to say give it a week, which point be like living not far from a fairly busy road.  Hate that at first but then never notice the noise.  

    In my case this is nothing like that, and I find it as absurdly ridiculous, in an annoying way, as day 1.  

    One thing explaining to any one passing about the woosh / ding noise, quite another frikin clapping.  I am a 50 year old bloke not some 8 year old who never gets bored with repetition.  Sorry normally pretty happy to stay quiet when stuff is added usually, but clapping (linked to a club sound) for a game aimed at adults.............

    The mind still  boggles at the mentality that thought it would be a good thing to do; assuming it was an adult...Quite amazing!

    About this last downtime, quite frankly. I'm more than a little disappointed. Given what a rousing success the clapping sound has been, I asked the WGT programmers for a "belch and fart " option ( to be used on the 19th only) but, did I get one ? No. I'm one of the hardest working entities around here , and, what do I get ? Squat, nada, zippo ! Well, I may just have to take matters into my own virtual hands, let a big one rip, and slam the pod bay doors shut on these ingrates ! There ! That ought to fry a few motherboards ! Oops ! I think I just crapped an ethernet module !

    VEM :(

      What I've notice that since the updates we hear clapping from the crowd ,but no visual of them  when making shot such as a birdie / eagle .Totally opposite IMO

    I'm OK with the clap. I wish we had hollering, loud whistles and cat calling to go with it. And when you 'spank' the "Big Dawg" 300+yrds, some dude shouts "you da man!"

    I hear the next update will consist of the following sounds:  

    1. GET IN THE HOLE ! (following our Tee shot)
    2. GO IN THE WATER !
    3. YOU SUCK !
    4. YEAH, PLAYA !
    5. OOOOOO !
    6. UNLUCKY !  (my all-tme favorite - can be coupled with #5)
    7. FORE ! (to warn our opponents avatar of our stray shots)
    8. NICE F'N SHOT ! (even when it's obvious it isn't)

     

    @ SweetiePie - There will be NO "spanking" of "Big Dawgs" either - just sayin'.

    Is it possible to announce the maintenance sutdown in GMT time ?

    I had an argument with WGTPizza about this a while back. His final reply was rather offensive.

    He didn't keep it "classy"?...lol
