Meh, I vote "NO" for Alpaco.  It doesn't resonate for people.  Logos are definitely an important thing...
I vote no for Alpaco too because I still don't know wtf it is or why it should be representing us lol.

This new banner is different and interesting. I'm a fan.
Who or what is Alpaco? Tongue

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

This is an Alpaco if you missed it.

That's so awesome haha (the Dictator banner)

Personally, either banner looks fine to me.  But it does seem like most people want something new and different.

I like the Dictator banner better to be honest.

Wow, we really are afraid of change here. 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 think it's a case of bikeshedding.

It's about the least important thing being fixed at SDA right now, heh.
It's time for some HEErooooOOOOHi cs!
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.

i feel discriminated against because i am a kind of lightish pink instead of red and yellow

and also i am not skinny but i am kind of from the nineties so i guess it's ok

roll on the other changes now please
F*ckin' sanity effects...
Meh, I don't much like the dude's expression, but I also don't really care.

If I understand this correctly, the solution is to put the banner on the side of a power plant.

...well whatever works, I guess.

I say we stick with this one.
HELLO!
Don't we risk... splintering the community with that one?

I propose loading the Uyama banner randomly 1/512 of the time, regardless of whatever other banner(s) we may normally use.

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.
Talk to the Hand
For some reason, I'm getting a "What would it take for ME to sell YOU this CAR??!" vibe from the Uyama banner, and I love it.
I like the new banner, myself.  There's nothing wrong with the old one, but change keeps things fresh.

Also this. ^
My feelings on The Demon Rush
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.

Zastbat: I <3 you.

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
