We'd need to hear more replies from anons and from midnight herself.

I suppose the pic they chose is the one they liked the better for their banners.

That was the plan initially when the GS pics came out, but for the 2nd round, they were allowed to use any Soshi group pic they wanted.

Midnight did not submit it through PM/Contact Staff officially, that's why it wasn't included when the time to put the list together came. I simply didn't see it. Don't mind adding it now personally since it was submitted before the deadline, and although it does not blend with background perfectly neither do some others in the list. I need to make sure there are no objections to it though.

Don't think I should participate since there is a prize involved and two out of those three items will come from me and I'll be helping to pay for the remaining item. ^^'

Well, yeah, but it was more of a statement than an actual vote. Maybe I should've phrased it, "I'm gonna vote" instead of "I vote".

Maybe it is me, but if the banner were to be these pictures, I feel like it would be better. I mean all the entries are nice, but I just don't like the galaxy supernova pictures. And the fucking blue light behind them are not helping. Just my opinion.

Agreed. We were discussing the banner for several days and no one spoke up, yet they do while the banner contest is going on?

Bit late for it now to be honest because some really worked hard on their banner. -_-

While dark concepts are definitely appealing, making them look at home with a happy purple/orange/white theme of this forum may prove to be quite a challenge. It's important to remember that we aren't picking the best picture of the girls here, we are picking something that will belong. Cut out elbows and random text/watches overlay can be quite a problem too. First picture could work though. I have a weak spot for that one myself.

GS pictures were chosen because they were hot when the contest was announced. Quite a bunch of people voiced out their liking for those. But I agree that they aren't best banner material for a number of reasons.

What's done is done though, we had 2 rounds already and I don't think it's fair to make authors wait any longer. I wouldn't be too stressed over it though. Let's pick our best option for now. It can be one of the new ones or we can stick with what we know. The winner will hang up there until it's challenged again. SNSD will come back soon, 2014 will come – we won't be short of reasons to run a new one sometime in the future. Maybe we'll have better 'hot picture of the moment' to work with at that point. We'll also make sure to give freedom for more timeless options and ask forumers to share pictures they like to give authors ideas.

Banner I is adorable and clean. (A unicorn and ship in the background! Clever.) I've navigated around the site and it's not jarring to the eye. I also love the one we have now.

Just my two cents. ^^
Can't wait to vote it out! :goldstar:

Hey gays, two things to go by with you this week:

New Threads:
It's been exactly a month since we opened the new three threads. We'd like you to give your opinions about them. Do you think they're taking off nicely?

From our point or view, the LGBT and WEnt thread seem to prospering, but the AEnt seems to be sturggling a bit with only half the views (3k) of the WEnt and even less than half the replies (170) . We were thinking of giving it one more month's time to see how it's traffic holds up, but if it continues to be this low, we were considering merging it with the Chat Thread once again.

Banner Contest:
We've PMd Midnight regarding the possibility of adding her banner into the contest, since it doesn't feel right to do just it without her permission. We're thinking of waiting until the end of this week to wait for her reply.

Personally speaking, I don't think she shouldn't enter the contest for the following two reasons:
1. She didn't submit when the contest was announced. It dosen't have the content we asked for.
2. The CrayPop stunt she pulled (or was pulled in her name) some time ago.

It all boils down to her reply and the majority concensus though, so give us your opinions!

Regarding midnight, imo I would not include her banner merely because she didn't officialy submit it.
She did post one, and some liked it but it doesn't fit the current specs.
If you ppl want her in, Xyz or Ihla (they know about that stuff) would adjust it to what it's needed.

I like midnight's banner a lot more than all those GS banners I saw, but she didn't submit it, so I think it would be unfair to include her banner in the contest.

can we pick one from the ppl who submitted to win the contest (and associated prize) but actually use her banner instead. Because it does look a lot better than the ones in contention.

What if we use it and it wins, wouldn't the other contestants argue about the result?
Anyways, I think I'll vote for keeping the old one

It happened on this thread. Midnight (or a group of her "fans") wanted to make her a mod, and started to spam the forum with craypop edits with the slogan: Midnight for mod and what I think were lines of one of their songs. Afterwards, they planned to turn this into a craypop forum.

ohhk. well imo, even without the trolling, i wouldn't submit midnite's because it'd be unfair to the others who met the deadline. simple as that.

I've been using the current theme sans banner so I can pretend I'm getting computer advice if anyone happens to walk into the room, even though I keep my door locked at all times. ^_^

edit: But banner C is nice, yes, which is why I voted for it even though it's quite inconsequential to me which gets selected since I won't be using any banner.
