i don't like it but i'm just me so idc do what you want

>>103783
ouch
(you're able to suggest your own though, hence the thread!)

>>103785

i dunno
i think the site's fine as-is and doesn't need any banners
the idea doesn't strike me even as a very minor thing

but again you shouldn't hold my opinion in very high regard, i don't

Who are all these characters?
I'm not sure I understand the relevance to the site.

>>103789
All of these (spare Drew the Lich, the first quest) are quest author personas. Name them all for a secret prize!

The prize is spending too much time on tgchan

i've been here since 2010 and i have no idea who the hell any of these representations are meant to represent

>>103791
In order from right to left and excluding pogoman, which represents tgchan in anon form (commissioner specified blue plaid suit):
TGWEAVER, BROMELIAD, TROUT, APPLES, RML, TOX (top), APOLLO (bottom), and of course the first quest character DREW THE LICH

>>103785
A simple green text on black field text parser with the prompt 'Please suggest an action.' and typing and erasing some stereotypical and off the wall suggestions could be a simple banner. (Read note, hug Tom, eat dwarf, enhance kn- etc.)

Nothing personal, but if you put an animated gif like that at the top of every page, I'm just going to get annoyed and adblock it. Especially on mobile.

>>103793
Hey yeah that could work nice, you could have the text on the left and maybe a quest character/author avatars either still or animated on the right.
cause lets face it most of the memes of this site are text or visual gags and we don't really big on the author persona thing, its more about the characters and our interaction with them that counts.
That and author cliches
and porn

Also I'm not quite sold on the /quest/ guy, the suites fine but why the pogostick? I think he needs a good old fashioned crusader helm and maybe a bright yellow tie.

>>103798
I think the banner would work on the frames or homepage. Of course, I don't use the frames, so I'd never see it.

if there's an animated banner put at the top of every page I'll ban everyone on the site so that they don't have to deal with it

im for this idea! nothing wrong with a bit of decor

As someone who uses this site on a mobile phone PLEASE GOD NO DON'T DO THIS

I don't think it's a good idea to put characters on a banner like this, because there's just going to be a huge debate over which people are relevant enough to be on the banner. The current selection is really really bad, I feel, and I don't know that there's any way to pick a set of people that won't make someone just as upset for reasons of "why is the site being represented by this guy I've never heard of when this other guy I like isn't even mentioned". A banner without any specific characters on it might be fine, but putting people on them is just asking for trouble.

>>103813
>this guy I've never heard of
>tgweaver is there: rubyquest
>drew the lich: the first quest

i crei ever tim

>drew the lich was the first quest
Citation needed on that, it's debatable. Something Awful probably got there first.

I AM ABUSING MY POWER AND SAYING IF JINIKI CAN'T BE A SPOILER THEN NOBODY CAN BE IN THE BANNER IF THIS IS ACTUALLY A THING WE'RE DOING

Though in semi seriousness what would you even put on a banner otherwise?

This idea seems ....

>>103815
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Quest:Drew_the_Lich
It's a little more detailed than our own explanation, but the point is it is conditionally "the first quest" (on /tg/)

>>103816
Support the coup today, imagine a banner with thirty slinkoboys on it.

Wait hang on actual serious pondering:

What if we had fancy images to put in place of "Quest-discussions" and such at the top of the page? Like, it's still that text, but all ~pretty~

This might actually be a neat idea....maybe? Hmm.

>>103820
Presumably due to the ancestry of this site. The clue is a little in the name. Tgchan began as a splinter community away from /tg/ for reasons that boil down to /tg/ becoming rapidly inhospitable for quests. We haven't really had any association with /tg/ for years since, though.

If you wanted to go with the first quest on tgchan, though, that would be Sue Quest by Typo/Teedash. The first quest specifically on Kusaba, The End by Ed Pastry.

>>103817
Why do we care about a quest done on a different website, anyway?

>>103819
It sounds like the best way to handle something like this is just to let anyone who wants to submit a banner, presumably no more than one per person, and just randomly cycle through them.

>>103822
really at this point you might as well open the floor to a frontpage-image style "anyone who cares about having a banner submits their own banner with their own stuff on it"

I'm putting in my opinion to keep away from fancy animated banners. I'm not actively against low-flare, easy on the eyes banners that are either not or barely animated, but I don't think banners at all would add much.

I do also feel that putting specific characters on a banner like this will have inevitable backlash. TGChan has steady examples of projects involving selections of authors/characters like this, and I can't think of a examples similar to this that came without sour results.

>>103823
about being on a banner, I mean

>>103823
also get a load of this chump who remembers when frontpage images were a thing and forgot they aren't a thing anymore wtg cirr

>>103822
.............. I'll allow it.

dylan seems like he doesn't want to deal with this so does that put me in charge i didn't ask for this

i don't even know how to code it to be random unless kusaba can just sorta do that

>>103822
Because it's part of the history of questing, and like Cirr said, tgchan came out of /tg/. We're a continuation of that tradition.

here is a banner that represents the True Cirr Quest Experience of things always being finished

>banners
Why do you hate people on mobile

Why not just put it at the bottom of the page?
That way you won't need to look at it unless you scroll all the way down

>>103833

that kind of violates the point of a banner i think it's sorta all or nothing

i vote no to banners in general but if they're gonna be there they may as well be at the top

I think I'd vote not against banners, too. They seem more like they'd be a distraction than anything.

I'm voting pro-banners because I like the idea of having them made by the community, regardless if know about the characters present or not.

I vote for battle standards, so that mine enemies might know the name of he who has trampled them.

>>103847
count me in too, I am biased because I made one but I think banners are a good idea for more rewarding content creation. I'm sure we'll wind up seeing worse ones fade from use after a while.

While I can see the argument for complicating mobile browsing, I think it's weird to complain that someone who goes to the effort of making a banner will use quests they like. I get more of a 'Oh, I know that guy!' feeling from looking at banners like this.

As somebody who browses sites on mobile: As long as the banners aren't oversized and can actually be shrunken down to fit the page's current width, it's fine. Really, the only thing we should need to worry about is a really long line of text with no spaces that extends the page width.
After all, I am a dumb who does not know how to adblock, so I get banner ads all the time, and those get shrunken down on the sites I frequent, meaning I have nothing to worry about.
