You do realize that's what the actual image looks like, right? I didn't add those 'stains' lol.

Really? lol. It still looks like a coffee stain or maybe a dried up blood stain. Sorry delete this if you wish.

It looks like someone spilled coffee on our banner:D I dig the tarnished look but that big stain in the upper left is too big and solid. I would break it up a bit, but thats just me:rolleyes:

Not my decision.

And, yeah, asking really wont get you on the team. Show us what you can do (and by that I mean through suggestion and display, not submissions) and you may wind up on the team.

PS: You are forgiven. Just remember in the future that even if the reason is not immediately evident for a staff decision or a rule, there usually is a good one.

I get you, I'm glad we came to an understanding. So I work on a few concepts and submit the basic ideas (not full production pieces) here, right? I already have a few.:)

Idea #1) The Diablofans community spans the globe and is referred to as the World of Sanctuary, so the globe of Sanctuary may be befitting to place at the header.

Before I answer your questions, I'd like you to answer some. You know, it's not my job to sit around here and explain the rules of the forum to you when they're clearly spelled out in the thread I linked you to.

It's my turn to ask...

1) Why do you feel like the banner needs to be replaced with one fan-made?

2) Why instead can't you offer suggestions to the design team (who are more than willing to take them and put them to use) rather than submitting ones that won't be accepted? This would be totally within the rules and allow for fan influence over the design decisions - to a reasonable degree.

That is all.

1)I feel that a popular vote would single out the most attractive banner and might ultimately attract more users with its aesthetic appeal.

2)I recently thought you were the lone designer. So I submitted a concept to you. But, to be honest, I really wanted to do something for the site. I mean, the current banner is ok but its got issues such as: poorly blended areas, pixely roughness near the borders, and a big open space. I put some effort into fixing those issues and I was turned down, I was admittedly angered by the blatant wall set in front of me. It felt like you crushed my baby with a 20 pound sledge:O:(:mad: I'm sorry for being snappy.

So the only way around this barrier is to become a design member. The rule around here is apparently "ask and you shall never receive" when it comes to any sort of staff position, so I am hesitant to ask. But can I be a design member, pwetty pwease?:cute:

First off, it is an actual rule in the list of Forum Rules and Etiquette LINK (see the last entry in the Etiquette section), so insulting me by implying I'm trying to hold some monopoly is not necessary, nor appropriate.. especially since it clearly says "The Design Team" not "Jetrall".

Secondly, here's one good reason -> The Design Team (not just me) gets to make all decisions about what images are or are not used as a part of the site design, so your poll would be a total waste of time for everybody, because none of the images there would be used.

Not to mention (once more) that it is against forum rules.

I'm sorry for coming off offensive but this is ridiculous.

Who is this design team?

Why cant they use a fan submitted entry?

And who made that rule?

Quote from "Jetrall" »

Your posts were deleted because they are against the rules. They have been deleted again. There will not be a banner poll.

Please submit any serious suggestions you have to improve the look and feel of the forum

You may post your banners for fun, but not actually submit them for use on this site.

Rule? What rule? The Jetrall monopoly rule? Its diablofans, not diablofan. Give me one good reason why we cant hold a poll to let the fans decide upon the banner.

So, the current one looks baron on the right for low resolutions, and my iteration looks clumped on the left for high resolutions. This is quite a quandary. *ponders*

Quote from "Jetrall" »

Having something on the right there works fine for people with fairly low resolutions, but it'll look weird for people with widescreens.

:/

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. Weird?

49.

New banner

I know jet is the artist for this site but I thought I would try to build on his work. I'm tired of feeling useless on these forums.

Yep it was Atty. They look real nice.

Its now or nev... Blizzcon.

What a nice present for Diablo's bday

The diablo fan is a nice touch.

Whats going on with these rank titles? Nvm its fixed

I don't have a job or a gaming computer for the moment, needless to say, I'm bored. I really would like to be a productive member and help share the load. I just need a venue. I hope I don't sound too intrusive.
