I noticed the 2016 Winterbash URL has been made active, but there is no countdown yet.
When will we start hatting? Is there a deadline by when sites can opt in/out?

8@OldBunny2800 because people hate fun? Or just because people prefer to let SE declare it on their own time.– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 20:34

3Because generally we don't like users being impatient. Why not wait until it is there?– Patrick HofmanCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 20:35

3Calm down folks: When will the Winter Bash 2015 begin?– WernerCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 20:36

3Here's a motivation behind my question: On TeX - LaTeX we've opted out of Winterbash for the first couple of years, but joined in on 2015. Based on knowledge of a timeline, one could ask again on Meta what the community's interest is in participation.– WernerCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 20:39

Maybe you should ask about the deadline then? Isn't that more relevant?– Patrick HofmanCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 21:19

1@PatrickHofman: Good point. I've updated my question to be less open-ended, specifically asking about an opt-in/-out deadline.– WernerCommented Nov 26, 2016 at 21:22

4Anyway, guess we'll know when it begins in 6-8 weeks– Shadow WizardCommented Nov 27, 2016 at 7:20

Good my head is getting real cold, I need at least 20 hats to keep it warm.– robbmjCommented Dec 16, 2016 at 12:20
Soon....
As far as the site opt in/out, I'll be sending out the emails (hopefully) this week. Blame Turkey Day for it not getting out last week.

Flipper. Your ban flipper. We ponies have hooves, you penguins have flippers. We both don't have "real" fingers. Commented Dec 1, 2016 at 19:59

Checks SE Staff Memes book ... Nope, seems right. You are a penguin, Gracenote is the Cactuar, Shog is either Cthulhu, a medusa head from Castlevania or both, Jason is a beard.... The guide says so, and the guide is always right. Only reality can be quite imprecise at times :P Commented Dec 2, 2016 at 19:13
