I'm indifferent one way or another. All the banners that I've seen, and the one that's already there, look fine to me. If there's a way to apply multiple banners and have them swap similar to the "Points of Required Attention" when the page loads, then no one would have to choose just one.

I simply just said that it looks nice.

What exactly would represent this place, in your opinion? Something Mega Man related like what the previous graphics were showing? It might represent the majority of the active members in the ROM hacking section currently, but it still doesn't necessarily represent everyone, or everything.

When it comes down to it, the banner just enhances what is already here. It doesn't influence whether or not I come here, or how I feel about the board overall.

I have one other in mind, but I just don't know based on the size.
Out of curiosity, what was your other idea?

If thats what you 2 want, why not pm blackhole and ask him to consider hosting it ?
Personally I'm not for it, and thats not how the banner represents this place in the least bit.


Yeah, you have a point, that banner is somewhat outdated anyway so the games on it aren't hacked as much as Megaman etc., the ones designed by you lot should be used over this one.

I think though some themes (or as Quick said about the past board2 times, on certain pages) could change the logo, like what you can do in ABXD. So we can submit more than one new banner.

What if multiple banners were uploaded and then we would let the user pick which one he wants via the user control panel? Is that a bad idea?

That isn't a bad idea, suggest it to blackhole89 if you like - hopefully he sees this thread.

That sounds like a nice option that would allow a user to further customize their profile's settings and environment, but how feasible would it be for blackhole89 to implement such a feature, would he consider it worth it, and how much more processing work for the board would it be?

What we need is a [user=ID] tag so that we don't need all that garbage in your post when you quote it, just to write 'blackhole89'.

But it might be hard to code, it might be easier to just make them part of themes or something (and make some new themes, that reflect on what this site hacks mostly)

Having the MAXIpic and user name as clickable just looks nice to me, so that's why I've been doing it when referencing users lately. You don't necessarily have to quote a post to reply to it if it's the last post, and you don't see all of what you call "garbage" otherwise. It also certainly doesn't have to be coded as a board feature, in my opinion, at least.

Overall, the board probably isn't active enough to warrant a whole bunch of new features. Not that it's up to me or that I'm speaking for anyone else.

Updated appearances might make some parts of the board look differently, but will it really benefit or influence activity levels at all?

Either way, the main idea for this thread was about Googie wanting to make a new border for the board. Even if everything still ends up being kept the same, at least it's generated a little activity, and people have been sharing some nice looking graphics for everyone to enjoy.

To make a banner with a collage of selected rom hacks.
Also to use the same font blackhole used to write out board 2 but with kps transparent effect around the font.

The idea I have would take alot of effort, and
I don't feel like doing everything myself when no one can't even move their fingers to help.
That being said, everything else falls back on googie from this point forward.

I would make a rough template but wouldn't know what ROM hacks to feature, so we have an idea on what to do.

I've only been here since late 2014 and wasn't really interested in the site until this August so I'm not sure what you particularly like, most people here have been around since 2007-2008.

What are the best hacks to feature in the board banner, though? Suggestions.

That will be up to the board to decide which hacks was the best in their opinion.
What I'll need is a screenshot from within the hack, I will crop the image in half.
Line them up and collage it, I'll do about 6 or 7 seven.

I'll take a look around that thread, and also some of the other threads round the board, so I can get a good idea of what to include on the logo.

This is just a sample of what I'm talking about and had in mind.
anyone else especially current rom hackers, throw a screenshot up if you like.
I want the screenshots in 256x224 most emulators should be able to pull that off or close to it.
Don't send it to me in a pm, I rarely read the inbox not unless its important.

If that said Board 2 and not Acmlm 2, then that would be a really nice banner which would work for the site.

9 days and now you reply, I give up on you people.
As for the banner, I honestly don't like word board on the banner, to me its make sound shitty.
See this acmlm.kafuka.org I rather use the word acmlm as to promote the man or emuz who made acmlm happen so long ago.

I'll do that one over since I lost the draft of the image and put the word board.
However termin you haven't made good yet on those screenshots.
You don't give me the screenshots, I am not making another banner.

I see your point, although the site is called board2, it does make sense to have Acmlm in it as it is a successor according to the meta data.

I was too busy playing rom-hacks and looking at DKC hacking for the time being that's why I didn't do anything for now, but I'll be looking around.

Expect the images in a few days or so, I'll post a link to this thread in my signature so it is more noticed (or do you want to do it?).

I won't repeat myself, its in your hands from this point forward to do the banner if you don't want to do the screenshots.


Later.

I don't exactly kow which would suit the community best but we would need:

A megaman hack
An SMB3 or SMW hack

And two others, but I don't know what series as not much else is discussed on board2.

If I pick bad quality images or the wrong hacks then it'd be something more to moan about of me, so I need to get enough info before making a decision.

Not much was posted in the favourite ROM hack topic after the first few posts that had much relevance and it quickly turned into slight drama.

Pick up infidelts legend of zelda hack, one of his mega man 2 ultra hacks.
Insectduel and probably googies hack would be good to grab a screenshot.
Doesn't need to be anything to flashy, just the scenario of the hack or facing off against bosses will do.


Those people I mentioned should be plenty to look into and thats not including others on here.
I don't have a preference so thats why I am not doing it, hell the last taslk googie left me with.
Kept me guessing or at the drawing board, that and he won't put in the effort each time he logs in.


Goodbye for now.

The last one's the only one from an actual screenshot; the rest are from YouTube footage but resized to 256x224, because I couldn't find many screenshots using google or bing of the hacks except from videos.

One of the images is from one of your videos, actually.

http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=4945

So it isn't the best quality but they are still images we can use for the board banner.

I'm not skilled at all with image editing so I can't do a logo for the site to go on the top, but the bottom should have something like 'Live the fun posting experience' like on the old Acmlm Boards, or change it slightly.

If anybody else has pictures for the banner, as Mike-Tech says, put them side by side of a resolution 256x224 per image.
