I noticed several times before that the users have often mentioned how they would like banner changes and updates, but with the staff activity, we have been a little slow with things.

Now that I'm an admin, I would like to know you opinions on the matter so we can take action to update the banner and have things look nice.

 

I have heard suggestions of a random banner, monthly banner changes, and even weekly banner changes.  The banners, of course, would be created by the users, but added by me.  What I would like to know is how you all would prefer to have the system work.

Would you like there to be weekly/monthly voting or selections on the banner, or would you prefer the month/week to correspond with a recent released WiiU game?

 

Now, we don't have to stick to one or the other, we could give both a try.  I would just like to know your thoughts for now and possibly open up a poll if there is enough discussion about what we can do.

I would prefer a hybrid of both :3

 

A Monthly voting of games that correspond with the releases that month

 

 

***Also Whenever Farming Simulator 2013 comes out, that HAS to be the banner of the month!!

random banned with every refresh.
feld0 could do it in 5 minutes with gd.
Make him.

Ideally, weight it towards a monthly favourite banner, like if skyward sword hd is coming out in december, have that weighted to appear more often than nsmbu.

I'm going to just leave all these spelling errors...

I guess I think it should correspond with recent or soon-upcoming games. But there should still be a vote for when there's more than one game like that per month... :P Directly following each banner change should be a thread with a poll of each game in question(or maybe a poll right on the home page, if possible).

 

So there's my thoughts. :D

A new banner every month and I think April's should be Watch_Dogs.

Every month seems like the perfect option, we have plenty of games to choose from!

No voting, random is perfect, we will never know what we're going to get.

There's Watch_Dogs and The Wonderful 101.

I've updated the topic to include a voting system just to make it a bit easier to see the opinions.

 

As for User submitted banners, should I create an official thread for users to submit to or just have them submit to me (and be credited in a thread)?

I voted for a monthly vote. I think it would be nice for us to have input.

Probably a few days.  I will have to decide how to go about this, as the banners will be user-made.

In that case, I'm going with option 2. I just didn't want drawn out voting periods.

If I made a banner and it was just horrible, because i have the art skills of a kindergartner, but I still managed to get enough votes....would it still be put up?
