Polraudio 122 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 I was just wondering if we could have a banner contest every month like creationasylum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 I'm not sure how many people here do GFX's. I would be an active participant for sure though if it went through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 We could do that I suppose, but there is a problem with it. Creationasylum's skin is quite different from ours, and the ads they have allow them to have a set size, and be compatible with most screen resolutions. Our skin is also like that, but that is thanks to this image which tiles: So if we had a banner contest, there would probably be a set size. And I'm sure contestants dont want to make a banner with that image under it, because the background would the same every single time. Without it, some users will see a small banner inside a large forum, or a large banner that stretches the screen past the forum. On Creation Asylum, they have a lot freedom because they can have a set size and not stretch the forum on computers with smaller resolutions. Although an alternative would be a banner for a front page. Currently rmxp.trap17.com redirects to the forum, but we could have a front page with an image, and a link to enter the forum. We could hold contests for designing an image(just like a simple banner) each month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wyzrd 12 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 I wouldn't mind that. Then again that image you have for the background, sure maybe it would be the same, but it would pose more of a challenge. How can you change it each time you make something new. Get what I'm saying? In fact I'm thinking of maybe seeing if I can make a banner for on here even if there is no contest at the moment. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
