I don't know about how you all feel about this, but I think that groups should be allowed to have their own custom banner.

This is one of the only things that is keeping me from calling Bungie.net groups "perfect."

More themes would be nice, too, but that's another topic.

Yes or No? Or do you not care?

I'll say no, only because a custom banner, which could be seen by nonemebers, could contain offensive matieral that no one but a superuser would be able to get rid of and I don't think Achronos wants to police every group on B.net.

You would need someone to make sure each individual banner is not offensive when it is submitted and that’s a wast of time.

Well maybe only if the group is over a certain size.. that way they will likely deserve it and there wouldn't be that many of them, which brings me to my next point. The admin of the group should have to have it passed by a mod or something so it could be put up. There won't be that many in the first place (see above) so it wouldn't be a problem.

I vote yes, but only if the banner is passed by a Theme Master. Gotta give 'em something to do, right?

Oh, and I got vote #7, go me.

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Custom themes would not be good because onlookers can still see it. Imagine if someone hacked HFCS and made a banner of their own ass. Or someone would eventually make one pertaining to lemons (if you know what I mean).

At least, they aren't accepting the ones people send in.. Too crappy? Who knows. Perhaps it has something to do with the "New New Hawtness"?

However, if we could take that top banner and upload our own 598 x 177 image? Sounds alright to me.. As long as people didn't abuse it uncontrollably.. :\

There not Accepting anymore till "The New Hawtness" is launched I believe is what was said.

Is this some kind of inside joke? "The New Hawtness"?

^ So does that mean, that like . . . the groups are going to get updated?

Or just the layout of the site is going to change?

I think that making a custom group header would be cool, but I don't think it will happen. It would take away the point of Theme Builder.

No idea, I just know that it will make your eyes melt. And explode. At the same time.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

In a couple of my groups I have made banners on Photoshop and Microsoft Paint and stuff. Then I would add it to Photobucket or somewhere and post the link in the group.
