OBS just wanted me to temporarily change the banner to this as a joke and a callout to those on the TS/RP who already know him: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/053/f/d/lazy_town_stephanie_pony_by_tomoe_chi-d5vt14p.png

I figured it would be funny for a bit. It was supposed to be for an hour, but he took a while to get stuff typed up before posting, and I wanted to change it back to normal before I left for class.

Truth be told, I kinda want to change the theme of the site to something else, mostly because the color scheme screams "DEFAULT FORUM". Only things holding me back are Camo and the thought of how the artist of the current banner would feel if I took it down.

Starting to think that neither would care, though.

Perhaps you could do something similar to Swicked's Celestia avatar and have one that changes with each refresh?

I've seen one or two other sites that do that.

Now that I think about it everyone could contribute one. (At least our regular visitors could.)

I like the idea, I just can't art.

You don't have to art very hard, just do what you're comfortable with. (And more than likely in a format that Robo can use as a banner.)

I'm down for that.

[Tytan]

Now before we get ahead of ourselves we need Robo (and maybe Camo's) approval.

[Ironmonger]

@Banners

Should this idea get the green light, I know of several artists whom I could ask to use their art.

[OneMoreDaySK]

Haven't seen Plasticube on here for a long time. And my arting takes forever, with multiple scraps and reworks. Still give a prompt and I might be inspired to do it.

[Tytan]

Well, we'd probably want to alter any art so that it's at least tangentially Cloudsville related.

[Scyto Harmony]

We need to see Camo again in order to get his approval.

If people start making banners, please make it so that they weigh less than 60 KB each, because if they reload everytime you load a page, it's going to consume the bandwidth of those of use using smartphones awfully fast.

[RoboRed]

Thanks for all the support with this idea guys.  

I'll start jotting down a few ideas and see about starting work on this next month.

I do agree that the theme needs to be easier to load. However, 60kb is even lower than the current banner we have, and that's pretty minimalist the way it is.
I'll look in to having separate themes/skins that users can choose from in their settings. I know it's possible in some other forums I've visited in the past. If it's true on this one, I'll work on a minimalist one.

Have fun.:

I mean if you were talking about an artist that was showing off a portrait of Benjamin Franklin (Just an example any real person, someone who actually existed would work here too.) and was saying the portrait was an accurate representation, but ol' Ben happened to have triple z tits. Then I'd say unrealistic breats are a valid criticism.

I don't think any of us discussed how fucking hilarious this would be. I'd watch the hell out of this, and it'd never get old.

@Katt The Pony Fiction Archive has an explicit section that has accepts pretty much anything. If you want to get a bit more general, you could always go for FF.net or AO3, the latter of which I personally prefer. Your science will find its medium.

Thanks. (I said "except FF" though xP) And hm... all of them seem to need sign in to post things... I guess I might could try to bother and join yet another site though.

@EP: Started a new Eon campaign, somehow from random rolls ended up as Gregor the Great, the kragg-barbarian. 276 cm tall, 198 kg riding his trusty murmelbeast into battle, following his two demi-gods the two misslor, 100 and 130 cm tall respectively, one of which a walking sewing machine xP Feels a bit stereotypical Gregor has 7 in psyche (~11 average), has a very poor vocabulary, and refers to himself in third person. At least he can carry 46 kg each carry step, and is resistant to heat and cold, jogging past people with full plate without a care xP Atop that, bards sing tales of his heroic... whatever it is he does, he got a unique knowledge, a unique artefact a family heirloom and mystical markings none knows what they do. Oh Gregor, why you so random? (I totally didn't base him of Gregor in Fire Emblem, promise.

Ah well, back to ruining the net with my newly invented fetish.

@OBS: Ello. Just avoid ticking me off and we should do fine xP

That is indeed awesome.

Today, I'm for some reason receiving a ton of day-old baked goods from my aunt. So far, I've got a gigantic-ass loaf of french bread, some purple sugar cookies (Who the hell makes purple cookies?), and most of a huge box of glazed donuts.

Fuck you, pancreas. I never liked you anyway.   

[Tytan]

Just a heads up, but I think the ad at the top is a virus scam.

[RoboRed]

I forget we have ads. I have ad-blocker on all my browsers.

Except for my phone, though. Odd that these ads aren't showing up on my phone. Not that I'm complaining...

[Harmony Ltd.]

Reminds me: I updated my phone from Android 4.3 to 4.4 today.

And in the process, I discovered the hard way that Firefox doesn't support Android 4.4.

The result is that until that is fixed, I have to use Dolphin Browser on my phone. The problem being that it doesn't have AdBlock...

[Harmony Ltd.]

also, Google Play has been uninstalled, and the only appstore remaining on the Galaxy S4 is the Samsung Store.

which require you to register an account in order to download apps.

fuck this update with a screwdriver down the urethra


I'm getting fed up with all this corporate bullshit

But I lose a shitton of revenue if I get a virus that sends all my data off to a gang of hackers in Minsk. At the very least I lose a lot of time cleaning my computer. (Also, some websites are unusable due to auto-play ads which blast your ears.) Twitch, I'll disable it for most streamers if their ads aren't crazy interfering - lots of streamers I watch have designated ad spots that aren't in the middle of gameplay (like between matches).

Well, I mean, if you actually click the ads then I suppose that'd be a problem. But why would you ever do that?
