  People posted dance .gifs on /b/ as cotton eye joe played on the whole board. Somebody made a
  flash, but the flash kinda blows and a decade later nobody even knows what the fuck it meant.
  That's it.

  Rednex cover of Cotton Eye Joe, released in 1995, was set to play on /b/ the day after 'The Day
  of Xenon'. "Cotton-Eye Joe" is country slang for moonshine, alluding to the potential damage it
  can cause to one's eyes. /b/'s background was set to flash yellow and white, while its title was
  re-named "ON A STEEL HORSE I RIDE.", a Bon Jovi reference. As with many other hacks, a thread was
  stickied at the top of /b/ for /b/tards to comment on the decorum, this particular one adorned
  with a multicolored flashing "5"; the thread featured well over a hundred different animated
  .gifs of anime characters dancing to the background music. Subsequently Kebinu, an /a/ tripcode
  fag, created a Flash-loop "tribute" to the day featuring around three dozen dancing .gifs crammed
  into a 1024 x 768 window with Cotton-Eye Joe playing in the background and the caption
  1/2

  "11/3/05 NEVAR 4GET". The loop's file size prevented the full version from being posted on /f/,
  and the scaled-down versions subsequently submitted to /f/ were rightfully derided as lame; /f/
  tripcode fag Amuro also pilloried the Flash loop for leaving out a particular Pretty Cure .gif
  that was generally acknowledged by /b/ to best fit the music. Some /b/tards still regard 11/3/05
  as the greatest single day in the history of /b/.

  And for good measure, "The day of Xenon":

  November 2, 2005
  A camwhore named Xenon, who most likely appeared after a select fanbase started (re)posting his
  "art" to /f/, was challenged by moot. /b/'s theme was colored mainly pink and contained the Power
  Puff Girls theme music. With the title of /b/ re-named to "All Hail Xenon", moot proclaimed that
  this date would "be henceforth known as: The Day Of The Xenon."

  It's amazing how much things can change in 10 years.

  Holy fuck this entire god damn song makes sense. Jesus christ... YEARS, and I never realized this.

  Disappointed that I managed to miss all of this - I was a regular /b/tard at the time.

  Thanks for the history lesson, anon. I'm going to upload couldeasilyhaveme.swf while I'm thinking
  about /b/ bgms.
