I dislike the animated background. While it may not bother some people?and it doesn't bother me actually?others find that kind of thing highly distracting, and it can even induce nausea and headaches in some. I imagine folks prone to motion sickness would be "shouting at their shoes" if they spent more than a few minutes there.

While many of your users may like the novelty factor of an animated background, you should always keep in mind those visitors who come across the site that you might never hear from, who leave and never come back because of it.

Just my opinion.
