Banner != Rotating Slider.Learn the difference.
Quote from: Cheat on March 03, 2016, 08:25:25 PMBanner != Rotating Slider.Learn the difference.Does it matter which word is the correct one? This makes the site look unprofessional and it makes you look lazy as fuck, which may affect how members view your suitability as a community admin. And yeah, I get that's it's your website and all, but it's still a community and not a personal playground. You're either:A: lazy and perhaps should consider giving someone like say, LC, the necessary privileges to do your job for you.B: not doing this out of some other reason, which would be even worse.
C: Not changing them because they're rotating sliders that show the last 4 major important announcements/events.

And let's say it does rotate, what's the point? Nobody cares about the last major events, we all remember them. We're not a huge site taking in tons of new members a day. Any new members we get leave immediately anyways. Either way, whatever your reasoning is, there's absolutely no reason to be so vague and passive aggressive. It's comes off as if you're trying be like Achronos, but at least he had the excuse of there being an actual community manager. You've taken on the role of site admin and community manager, but you're honestly as bad as DeeJ in the community manager department.

What's the point?"Hey guys remember when it was Christmas"Ok? Nobody already here cares and newer members will just be confused. There's literally no reason to have a "rotating slider".

Is it not a good point though, that Anarchy as a listed event after it's closed, is pointless to advertise?I mean, not only is there a rule about not bringing the events of it onto the mains, but unlike some sort of competition or site update, you can't go back through the site and see what happened in it since it gets locked.At least have something people can look at on the front page, rather than literally (out of date) nothing.
If you had just explained your intentions from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many people complaining about it.
"There's nothing wrong my design, it's just that not enough stuff happens to justify it"

I have no doubt there are some folks here who still don't realize the "banner" changes when you click those 4 tiles beneath it, and this argument is nothing new.I'll admit that the fader design is subpar. It's an old javascript swapper I built several years ago that needs to be updated, but the fader/slider itself is not a poor idea. We just need more "stuff" to happen.

Can we have a serious talk about the front page banners?
