Art + Forum groups shit
« on: April 06, 2010, 01:39:47 pm »
I need an image for the "Core Team" and "Major Contributors" groups... They're the images that replace the little stars when people are special... Right now those two groups are just "*" in the name...

While I'm on the topic, we can add more groups with special images, perhaps a group for the HoN people once they start playing competitively.... Basically they're just little badges you can have to show how much more awesome you are than the people who don't have them...

While talking about art and video games, should we replace the banner at the top since less people in SHENS play TF2 than do. Perhaps we should throw around some ideas on a new banner design that's less objective towards one game... I had a thought of having the banner be a bunch of characters from different games, with old school shit like NES zelda and pokemon and stuff on one side and then characters from modern gaming on the other side... I dunno, just a thought... Lemme know what you guys are thinking on the above matters.

Also, my stats in my signature seem to not update regularly at all, they're almost a full day out of date now... I leveled up like 3 times yesterday...

I think a collage of characters and art from a variety of games would be appropriate.

TF2 (obviously), BC2, HoN, old school stuff like you mentioned, maybe ME2...you know, the good shit.

Yeah, I noticed that about the signatures too. I really don't hope we have to bother changing them manually. D:

If you guys give me a more defined list of games + characters to include in the banner, the sooner I can get to it.

This post was much more entertaining when I read Valkyrie as Virally.

As helpful as that link is, she was asking for you guys to specifically list what you would like in the banner. If she went by the other games subforum alone, odds are we'd have a really shitty banner that no one likes aside general aesthetic value.

Well I don't want to step on any toes for the banner so I'll offer to make the buttons or whatever.

Can you be more specific by what you mean though? I am a little confused by what you want.

Any specific heros/classes/etc. we want though?

My vote goes to adding an engi or recon from BC2, M. Bison from SF4 and Pebbles from HoN.

Mkay. Also, an idea.
Instead of having a bunch of characters thrown into one single banner, would anyone be opposed to just having a banner that faded and changed into a new theme every 3 seconds or so?

Basically, I'll make a banner catered to each game mentioned (and still include the specific characters you've all mentioned) and animate it so it transitions into the next theme/game.

I don't HAVE to do this, though. Just tell me what you all think, please. :]

If you make a bunch of banners, I can make the forums automatically fade between them every so often...

good idea, btw.

I'd have to say that SSBB deserves a few banners. I know atleast a few of us are still avid players.

Oh, and don't forget Pokemon. Me and Maguile are hardcore about that shit. :3


Did you remember to feed your gigapet as well? Pokemon...seriously? I'm not that old but... get off my lawn

Forget the fading, couldn't you just make it so whenever a page loads it has a random banner? Or maybe just use certain banners for certain boards?

Also what do you want for the group shit damn it!

Oh, great! That's much better because doing that in Photoshop would've downgraded the visual quality a bit.

Alright, so this is the list of games and specific characters I'm going to be looking at:
1. Heroes of Newerth - Pollywag Priest, SoulStealer, and Pebbles :3
2. Team Fortress 2 - I'm just going to keep the same banner we have now.
3. Street Fighter -  M.Bison, Chun-Li
4. World of Warcraft -
5. Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Engi and Recon. "someone getting killed by the defibrillator" - if someone can get me good picture of this, that'd be awesome.
6. Parts of this: (maybe but hopefully)
Falcon Punch [English]


Add more if you guys want.

*double-post*

Also, has anyone ever been opposed to the forum's current theme colors?
If so, I want to change it to something everyone would like now before I go off and make several banners to these colors.
