It's still cold outside.

Look at my profile picture, I don't have long hair. Is there anything wrong if I put on a Winter Bash hat, although the Winter Bash period has ended?

Technically, I have taken a screenshot of my avatar wearing a hat and I could just upload that screenshot as my avater image. I just wanted to know if this is considered as abuse. I don't want to affront anybody.

    @ThomasW. there's nothing wrong with your question. Just as we hold the magical fun of Winter Bash in our hearts all year 'round, others are just perennial grinches. Don't sweat it.

  • @Thomas - There is nothing wrong in your question. In fact you have asked it whether it is abuse or not before doing so. +1 :-)

Yeah, feel free to use any hats in your avatar that you have saved from the event. Near the end, Balpha had this interesting idea of making a button that lets you create a new avatar based on your current avatar and the hat you were currently wearing, I think that would be a rather neat feature for next year, in my humble opinion :)

I also really look forward to that time of year every year, ever since the first Winter Bash - it's just an amazing amount of fun and I frequently smile while recalling it.

You can upload your avatar with wearing the hat.
It won't be considered as abuse.

    Well, that depends on how you look in pink. Some people should just never wear pink, even after labor day.
