Hi! This is a thread to post suggestions about our lovely forum. I have a couple to start us off: 1. A banner?? instead of the blue theme, is it possible to theme the site and/or get us a banner. I will create if no one else wishes to 2. Make the forums, or at least parts of it private. Sometimes there is stuff we do not wish to share with the outside world (only the anime club) even if it is semi anonymous. 3. To tag along with number 2, just wondering if we have to get approved to join this forum - again another privacy/safety issue and also to avoid spammers. Thanks!

Re 1: As always, Haruhi-sama has ingenious ideas - a banner for our humble abode shall truly redefine our style of inhabitance and draw in the masses!
Re 2: Oh shit is this forum not closed? LOL. We gunna get our asses sued sooner or later!
Re 3: Afaik right now we definitely don't need approval to join this forum. Our main line of defense is lack of knowledge of the url lol
EDIT: Oh and you might have to pm one of the admins or hunt them down on FB (I recommend the later). Sadly they don't seem to live on the forums as much as I do as much as they should. When I hunt one of them down If I see one of them I will also let them know about this thread.

1.Unfortunately, since we planned for the banner to feature the winning mascot of Mascot Extravaganza we can't really change it at the moment. Although a temporary banner is always something we could consider as a possibility if one of the executives has enough time to design one.
2. Sure, that is definitely something we could quite easily do. Which areas of the forum would you like to be hidden from non-registered members?
3. I think most of the spam were posts done by me pretending I wa- I mean, *coughs* of course! We definitely need to get rid of the spammer posting in the obnoxious rainbow font. That's obviously not my doing. *coughs* (눈_눈✿) (Read as: We will take this into consideration. If spamming/inappropriate behavior becomes an issue we will definitely implement some sort of safeguard. For now however, the culprit has been warned and she will not abuse her powers commit such a heinous offense again.)

Ha, of course I always have good ideas! Generally you hide everything except a like what do we do thread and general Q&A. Cause you will get 'randoms' Reading about what some peoples collections are like, resulting in disastrous consequences... Again, for approving new members to the forum, its for the reason of the above line ^^ I dibs being Ultra Judge for the trial next week! You shall receive divine punishment! I'll make a simple banner if I have time this weekend!

... I'm being put on trial? I thought that was Eren's job.
Right, everything will go into hiding starting some time tomorrow. I'll also need to replace our default smilies with some custom smilies so if there's any you want to suggest you should create a suggestion thread for that too.

Thank you for the suggestion! The link to the facebook group is: www.facebook.com/groups/160660870788093/ It is currently a closed group so you'll have to send in a request to join. However, currently all requests to join get approved so there'll be no trouble there. I will add this link in an obvious place on the forum shortly.
There is already a link to the forum under the 'about' section in the facebook group. However, I understand that this isn't exactly an obvious place to put it. I'll talk to MR NYAN to see if anything can be done. If not we'll just make sure to include the relevant links in the update emails that are sent out each week.

i liek mudkipz this banner! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this. However, I think we should use official art from anime/manga rather than fan-made art as there could be potential problems with that. Also, on the technical side of things, although the forum banner has a fixed height, the length actually lengthens/shortens depending on your screen/browser size. As such, the banner image would probably need to be formatted as a transparent png. That is, unless MR NYAN has another solution to this?
