Just like people copy the Darktan template? DOHOHOHOHOHO!

In seriousness, I only use that message box to post announcements that relate to me. I knew nobody was reading the old announcement stating that I wasn't doing requests until I got my graphics tablet because I kept getting requests.

SO to compensate for this, I made a flashing box that follows you so that people wouldn't have an excuse not to read it. I can see why its gotten popular though - I'm not too fussed about people adding the code to their page because I don't own wikisyntax and I don't think I have the given right to tell people what to do with their talk pages.

Besides, if one were to learn wiki syntax and write one from scratch, it'd end up as the same thing.
