The text in the banner is nice (Maybe a bit bright), but that guy... I don't know. I don't really like the expression on his face, unless SDA is in fact some evil/aggressive/sadistic competitive community (When I look at that guy he reminds me of players from multiplayer FPS's).
Well if you guys dont like skinny kid we could always just come up with new ideas this one is mine. He has an afterimage so it makes him seem fast and the expression on his face just says I am one cool dude and not aggressive at all. Also he is always watching

Am I the only one who thinks this is a really silly thing to get worked up over?
No but I am glad that this came up cause I never would have thought of making that banner if it hadn't. But yea skinny kid is fine looks good and I have no problem with it.
I dig it, 90s pompadour kid rockin a controller. Reminds me of old Nintendo Power ads and the logo stands out nicely, not sure why people are quite so adverse to it at the moment.

No no guys. Too common and not really gaming related. The rare Splinterface banner needs to have a 1 in 8,192 chance of appearing. Logged in members can cuts these odds to 1 in 2,048. Admin get even better odds with 1 in 1,365.3.
I like the new banner, myself. There's nothing wrong with the old one, but change keeps things fresh.

Just FYI, we did show this banner to everyone else on staff and they really liked it. As much as some people like the old Quake guy we do need a new banner that doesn't look so dated and can actually be blown up without looking terrible.
We also wanted graphics and text we could apply elsewhere, like stream promotion.
Alpaco: No, it was going to be a one-time only thing for the marathon, and I learned my mistake. We should have something more representative of speed running if we have a mascot. The mascot also shouldn't be anything licensed just because of potential copyright and image issues.
It is my opinion that SDA no longer has any credibility because of this forum banner change. I can't be a part of this community any more. This was the last straw. THE LAST STRAW DAMMIT! Sorry guys, but I'm out.
In other news, whatevs. y'all are a bunch of hackin bitches and I love ya even if you complain about dumb things and I don't get your in jokes
