Banner Contest Discussion Thread

First observation: No new boards have been revealed. We might be at the end of the contest, neatly coinciding with the end of August.

The following boards have not appeared yet:
/a/, /aco/, /b/, /co/, /d/, /fa/, /fit/, /g/, /gif/, /h/, /hc/, /hm/, /int/, /j/, /k/, /mlp/, /mu/, /pol/, /qa/, /qst/, /r/, /r9k/, /s/, /soc/, /sp/, /tg/, /trash/, /tv/, /v/, /vg/, /vp/, /x/

Since the intention is to promote smaller boards, all the big boards will likely not appear. The porn boards are also unlikely to get banners since the banners are supposed to be worksafe. Containment boards are also unlikely to appear.

That actually doesn't leave many boards left...
Are /co/, /fa/, /fit/, /g/, /h/, /k/, /mu/, /sp/, /tg/, /x/ big boards? They're certainly old and known boards, so maybe they won't get banners? I don't frequent them, so I wouldn't know.
Which would leave /aco/, /d/, /qa/, /qst/. /qst/ is pretty new, no clue how they are doing. /qa/ is hidden. /d/ probably qualifies as a porn board even though it has a real community and could produce some funny banners. /aco/ is new but also mostly for dumping porn-ish stuff.

This might be it. One aditional week tops.

>>627953
It's popularity. /e/, /u/, /y/, /t/, and /wr/ all feature nudity and some of it is explicit.
I can't think of boards like /fa/ or /x/ being that popular, however, so who knows? Maybe they just forgot.

>>627882
who the hell are voting on these?
Look at /s4s/.
https://www.4chan.org/banner-contest/s4s
The banner that least represents the board has most votes.

I hope it ends soon because I have a feeling /pol/ would get gang bulled and forced to have somthing which /pol/ would hate

>>628093
There's no way /pol/ will get a banner contest. It's like the top 3 of the biggest boards.

>>628090
The tards that make up the demographic of passes. Meaning, 19-25 year old reddit memesters.

Does /qa/ need a banner?

I would submit one saying "fuck off"

>>628129
How about "Fuck off we're full!"

>>628129
Unlisted, so no.

But if we did, I would put /qa/ in 2px in cream coloring on a white background and submit that.

>>627953
I thought for sure [s4s] was a containment board.

Btw, can someone explain the second banner on /cgl/ to me? I get the woman magically dressing up, but what's the red-haired dude referencing?

>>628075
Agreed on all counts. I'll never understand why they gave /t/ a banner. Some mod must be a major pirate or something.

/e/, /u/ and /y/ probably qualify as weeb culture more than nudity. Just my observations from the banner contest. Never visited the boards before. It was just a wild guess why boards like /s/ haven't shown up so far.

And yeah, been waiting on /fa/ and /x/ - they'd be easy banners to make at least.

>>628093
>would get gang bulled
Like half the boards ended up with shit banners? Also, a /pol/ack calling for a safe space against bullying - that's fucking rich!
Every single week I'm hoping to whatever gods may be to let us make banners for /pol/. The butthurt would be glorious! Especially if a troll banner wins. The only problem would be that it's unlikely everyone agreed on exactly *how* to troll /pol/, while /pol/ would simply organise a unanimous vote for their favourite banner. They're good with shit like that.

>>628148
Good point. All I can contribute is: They were the only board to have a banner contest sticky, so obviously some mod deeply cares about /s4s/.

>>628143
Kek why give 2px? why not just one

let's open up discussion about current votes, that was fun last week

>/hr/
completely predicted that. after /w/ was won convincingly with "promoting a board for wallpapers with a 468x60 image" i knew everyone would go for a size joke. and indeed, every banner references the small size apart from that weird eyeball one and.. is that Chloe Moretz (sp?)? last one would definitely be representative - they have a shitload of celeb threads.

>/lit/
only static images and one troll gif. very surprising. neither of the resident gifers could apparently think of anything...

>>628170
Swaglord is the mod in [s4s] and post in there as well. He gives special attention to his home board.

>>628175
I submitted the Chloe Moretz one. The creepy guy who took the photo of her left his flash on, so by the time he took the third or fourth photo, everybody in the restaurant was looking at him.

/hr/ is 99% celebrities/celebrity nudes desu so coming up with something both board-related and recognizable is hard. The Moretz picture was the best I could do other than recycling the /w/ banner joke.

Original picture: >>>/hr/2709121

I totally found this board by accident and never knew it existed. I see in labeled as 3DCG as well as trash, but how do I navigate to this board outside of Google? I don't see it on the front page or the drop down bar.

>>628309
Please leave.

>>628309
>how do I navigate to this board outside of Google?
Websites have URLs. You must figure out the rest of the mystery on your own.

>>628343
Thanks

>>628309
This board is restricted for outsiders like you. You came here through luck. Turn back for your safety.

I spent the last hour listening to old songs looking for small snippets to gif

>>628247
wow, that's hilarious (and ultra creepy). i have my doubts you're going to win, because that's a pretty obscure joke and not many voters will even frequent /hr/. even i was wondering why the photo was such a bad quality, so i though you were trying to troll /hr/ by chosing an intentionally shitty picture. but your banner is definitely thoughtful and fitting.

>/ck/
a clear sign of the race to the bottom we've been talking about in the last thread. every single banner is shitty meme trash.
>puddipuddi
huehuehue
>Marie's Tomato Sauce
lolololol
>forever alone
>btw, greentext is hilarious!!!11
there's exactly 1 serious banner (bread & berries). and i don't think it has much of a shot.

>/cgl/
the girl's going to win. don't know what the others supposed to be.
also, here's my prediction for next week: lots of (even more shitty) banners. /cgl/ is a wake-up call. "oh fuck, it's a board nobody cares about. that could be me, having a 50% chance to win a pass with a lazy banner"

>>629246
>the girl's going to win. don't know what the others supposed to be.
The problem with that one is that it doesn't loop and it's very obvious, even from the corner of your eye. It's a bit of an eyesore for something that sits at the top of every possible page. If I had a pass I'd probably vote for the other just for that fact.

funny you should mention that. this is me last week: >>618595
i disliked the /m/ banner with lightning for the same reason. some other anon told me it would surely win. and it did. but i actually had the same though as you - the other /cgl/ banner is inferior, but it would be easier to ignore. since nobody has come up with any sort of explanation for it i'm probably going to vote for the animated banner, but i did consider the same things as you.

>>629324
it... sure is a banner. i don't know what it's trying to tell me, but the image is clean, noticable and somewhat memorable. i'd like to call it "competently made" but the "g" is clipping the lower edge and the font looks a bit squished in height. good luck anyway, it's always great when people participate. maybe you'll even win, i honestly don't know which way /hr/ is going to go.

>>629708
There was a similar discussion in the /jp/ thread about an idol banner as well. (thank god it had no chance of winning). Or was it on /qa/?
Either way, I guess others don't pay attention to it as much if the lightning one... won.

they added fa, hm, o, x

I decided to brave the snake's den and someone made a thread on /cgl/ about this.
For some reason it inspired them to create a bunch of banners even though they can't submit them: >>>/cgl/9146226
Shame, too, some of them are pretty good.

>>630365
Well shit, this is unexpected. But if they do /hm/ then /hc/ and /s/ are wide open as well... /s/ is the female equivalent to /hm/ and /hc/ is also a lesser known porn imagery board.

/x/ will be interesting for sure. Lots of jumpscares...

>>630887
Wow, interesting thread, it's really a damn shame. Having only two lazy banners submitted really sucks...

>>628170
>Btw, can someone explain the second banner on /cgl/ to me?
Finally was explained here: >>>/cgl/9147703
It's surprisingly funny... just really fucking obscure and you see nothing of it in the actual banner. I might actually vote for that now that I know what it's referencing...

Whats /qa/ submitted? I just put my third submission in for /wg/

>>633198
oh i just realized i did a spelling error

>>633198
>Whats /qa/ submitted?
I usually only submit on Saturdays, in case i figure out how to improve it or I find errors (like you just did - but I actually thought it was part of the design :-P). It wouldn't be much of a hassle and I have deleted and updated a banner before, but it feels better to me to only upload once. Beside, I do a lot of last minute ideas and banners on Saturdays as well, since I have more time.
Also, I have this (half-rational) fear someone's gonna submit my banners as well, causing votes to split between two identical banners, dooming my submission. So I'd rather not upload anything before voting starts...

I just finished my /adv/ banner and I quite like it. Took me a very long time to come up with a good idea. I used to be on /adv/ a lot some years ago and I always felt it was an incredibly serious board - people really pour their hearts out. I didn't want it to be some lame joke or screen cap, but there are next to no visuals for "advice".

I think I have a really good idea for /his/ going, but it'll be a lot of work...

/wsg/ is really tough. I have loads of ideas, but since it's my homeboard I want it to be really special. I fear I'm way in over my head and the ideas are too complicated. In the past very often quite simple banners have won...

No clue about /wg/, I won't be submitting anything.

But I'm already starting to think about ideas for next week as well...

>I just put my third submission in for /wg/
Wow, are you not afraid of competing against yourself? I've occasionally uploaded two banners for the same board if they were very different ideas, but three? Ballsy. And productive.

Time for today's mid-day bumps 7

/qa/ getting flooded by easterboy.
bump.

>>633899
>>634751
Yeah, it does seem pretty crazy right now. Two days ago threads fell off about a day and a half after the last post was made. Right now we're down to 4 hours o.O
What's going on?

Oh, I made a nice banner for /vp/ bit if it won't get a contest I'm a bit letdown. I would appreciate not dealing with captcha.

guys I'll be making a few banners for /hm/

Am I allowed to sumbit more than one banner and if so, what is the maximum I can sumbit for voting?

>>635104
You can submit unlimited

>>635106
Thank you very much. I'm sure people will enjoy my Disturbia banners

>tfw /hm/ hasn't been more than 5 memes in 4 years so we have nothing to work with

>>635110
hasnt made*

>>635104
While you can indeed submit an unlimited amount - keep in mind you might be competing against yourself. We've had quite a few cases of good banners missing the top spot only because they were submitted in multiple variants and the votes were split up. I strongly advise to only submit one banner per topic or meme if you want to have a shot at winning.

>>635216
You're right. I'll try to vary the memes we have. But we genuinely don't have much beyond Disturbia, Ellen and Pizzaface.

Thanks for advice anon

Last day, everyone get your submission in! Don't be like /cgl/ and regret not participating...

I'm the second /ck/ dude(and funnily enough the person you responded to too) and I haven't gotten mine yet. Judging by this >>637676 I'd take a guess and say he haven't gotten his one yet either.

My favourites currently on the ballot:
>/adv/
Shia and Shall I call them for you?
>/his/
I like both of the "slides of history" banners, although they are quite different. I'd actually like a merged banner. The photographs are really nice, but the other banner does text and fonts better...
>/wg/
The classic XP background is really iconic, but the font is just so pixelated and ugly... Maybe vapor wall? Although I do use a solid colour...
>/wsg/
Both pixel art loops are amazing (although neither is original, i.e. made for the contest).

>>639336
Why? This thread is way below the bump limit...

>>639382
kek, the two banners with the "shit fonts" are both mine. I agree I should've thought about them more

A bunch of us over at /cgl/ are upset at the lack of banners submitted.

Maybe re-do it since it's a tie? There were a bunch of good new ones in the thread ( >>>/cgl/9146226 )

>>639635
A bunch of us have already submitted forms to 4chan.org/feedback. No response so far.

>>639825
(Fuck, why did I just repeat the first 2 words of your post?)

>>639828
fuck, why did you?

They've added /g/, /mlp/ and /vp/.

Yep, /mlp/'s up next week.

Get ready for major triggering

>>639999
N-Nice quads

>>639999
Now the real question is... does >>>/global/rules/15 apply?
That would make the contest interesting (but also awful for the board, since most of their banners would be disqualified immediately).

This will also reveal some numbers about the pony community. Let's see how many votes they can come up with, otherwise they'll surely get a most unfortunate troll banner.

Are ponies still en vogue even? From the perspective of an outside perspective the whole thing seemed like an incredibly short-lived fad. I mostly see the still ongoing backlash these days.

Also still trying to figure out the logic behind which boards get a banner... apparently containment boards do, much to my surprise.

>>640148
>does >>>/global/rules/15 apply?

Now way they'll enforce that, but I kind of want it to happen just to see the butthurt from the board.

>>640153
Either way, we're getting butthurt. So that's nice.

>>640148
GR15 didn't matter when pony ads went up on /pol/ and /a/. You could argue they were paid for but technically you have to pay to vote in this contest as well.

Next weeks is going to be so easy to submit for, I could easily bind three of them into one

>>640891
I don't know. I think my prime has passed.
7 boards I've never been to are up. This week: I hate fashion, I hate cars, maybe I'll submit some low-hanging fruit joke banners for /hm/ and /x/? Next week, I don't care about cartoon ponies, I don't care about cartoon monsters, maybe I could cobble together a generic joke banner for /g/? But there'll probably a million "hacking" and "Matrix numbers" themed banners anyway.

I can't immediately think of any good ideas for any of the 7 boards. Which is fine too, more of the week to do other shit. The last few banner rounds took up way too much time to be frank. So I'm kinda glad that only boards I don't care about are up.

/o/ is easy, just watch some top gear clips

>>641113
Why would I watch that show? I've seen a few clips here and there. It seems like an overblown bore-fest hosted by insufferable assholes. I just don't see the appeal of driving in circles in a tin can, even if it's particularly fast. Cars are loud, stinky, dangerous... They're useful tools, but I wouldn't glorify them or watch them in my spare time if I can help it.

>>642091
Fair enough, /fa/ is easy as well just do somthing ironic.

>>642230
Hmm, yeah, maybe. Given that I've been wearing roughly the same stuff for at least the last 30 years, I probably wouldn't even know what's ironic. I might be getting old, but I can't help but think that there's not much difference between honest and ironic fashion anymore... Anyway, it's probably not that easy to fit fashion into a horizontal banner anyhow.
No biggie. I don't have to submit for every board :-) But thanks for throwing some ideas back and forth.

just sumbitted a /hm/ one with the help of a great anon

good luck to all other boards compeiting next week and also to those in the run this week

>>642536
>just sumbitted a /hm/ one with the help of a great anon
Now you're making me curious. Did you have a handsome anon take photographs? That would be some cool OC if he has the looks...

Good luck to you too!

>>643369
Hahaha unfortunately OC is agaisnt the rules on /hm/, and I think it'd be quiet ironic if a banner for the board broke its oldest rule

Which board have you submitted for?

>>644778
BUMP

>>643408
Oh wow, I had no idea about that rule. Probably makes sense, if you don't want the board to turn into a /soc/-style sausage fest...

>Which board have you submitted for?
So far for none. Possibly the first week I don't submit anything. I'm kinda burned out after two weeks of submitting very elaborate banners. I've had an idea for an /hm/ banner in the back of my head, maybe I'll just cobble it together tomorrow. Just for a quick chuckle I'd be enlisting the help of a great not-so-anonymous poster though ;-)

What happened with the ties? Did both get a pass?

god damn it, i'm just putting my votes in and i simply can't decide for /wsg/. there are many decent ones, but none that stick out...

any thoughts on helping me decide? which do you think are good? which have a shot at winning?

>>644839
>first week I don't submit

Do you genuinely go on the boards you submit for, and you've somehow managed to get a board each week or are you just doing it for the pass.

If the former then please continue and have fun. However, while not trying to be rude in any way, if your intentions are the latter and you submit banners for boards you don't even visit, that's extremely greedy and wrong of you anon. This competiton is for people who go on those boards and love them not for randoms to go onto Google and search memes of that board and throw together a heartless submition.

I've gone on /hm/ day in day out for the last 4 years and it has helped me come to terms with my homosexuality. It is a board I love and cherish and the board I submitted is how I can give back to my community.

So while you'll probably call me a faggot and ignore me. Anon I ask that you don't submit for boards you don't go on for the fact that you'll never truly understand what it's like to be a denizen of that board

So which /ck/ and /cgl/ banners have you seen? Are the tied winners both shown? Or the one that just happened to be on top for some reason

>>644876
Are you trolling? Because that wall of text is almost copypasta level...

What you're describing is how it *should* have been. But it isn't. Because the people *voting* have mostly never visited the board in question. *They* will "never truly understand what it's like to be a denizen of that board", but they'll decide what your banner will be anyway and you have to pander to *them*! Look at the results of past rounds: It's mostly generic shit and troll banners. I try to submit high-qality banners that come from a place of love. I've submitted the runner-up on /f/ and lost to utter crap. I've submitted the runner-up on /sci/ and lost to utter crap. And the same happend on a bunch of other boards with me placing in the top 5. If I didn't submit, the contest would be worse off, even though I don't regularly visit most of the boards.

You can of course submit the perfect insider banner for your board. But you won't win with it. You have to submit good stuff that's just the right amount of generic so people who have no clue about the board will click on it. I don't need to submit banners for a pass. I've already won a board weeks ago and if I won another I'd be giving the pass away, probably even on /qa/. I submit so boards don't get shitty or hateful banners like /f/ and /sci/. I submit so shit like the two banner snorefest on /cgl/ doesn't happen (/cgl/ was the only board I didn't submit for that week).

Having said that: I've submitted 22 banners so far, 10 were on boards I really cared for. 12 were on boards I at least cared for the topics. I don't submit if I hate the board or its topic or I have absoutely no clue about the topic, because what's the fucking point? I'd just be dragging down the quality.

By the way, being homosexual and being a faggot are two completely unrelated categories.

>>645225
Seen the animated /cgl/ banner yesterday.

>>644876
gay

>>645397
No one was just upset that you were perhaps doing it for the pass: in which case it'd be most unethical

But I see the reasoning behind your thinking and it must be disheartening to come second those few times especially to bad quality posts. But I still stand that banners should ideally be sumbitted by hardcore and longtime users who will be able to advertise their board to the masses

I do hope that you can understand where one is coming from. And no it wasn't a copypasta, I just like to ramble on hehe

>>645450
seppuku

I'm going to submit 10 for everything now just because of this

>>645452
Mans still gonna beat you (hopefully)

>>645450
Well, I enjoy your naive idealism. Do let me know in a week how many votes your banner got. I'm genuinely curious.

I actually hope it works out for you. I can't imagine it will, but wouldn't it be nice if a board got an appropriate banner for once?

>>645697
I will do anon. I just hope the mars/hm/allows and the masses can appreciate the subtle memes in my banner

Guess what? The winning banner is even worse than my fears. It's not even a lame joke. And the screen cap isn't even from the right fucking board! Fuck this shit. Seriously: Fuck. This. Shit.

And a clear 3rd place for another screen cap with post number ~650 millions on a nsfw board. Holy fucking shit...

Whelp. I tried. Fuck you, 117 voters who have no fucking clue and no standards. Fuck you.

Wouldn't you get mad if your home boards banner was shit tho?

>>648293
>>648300
>>>/b/
He has every right to be mad. Many of the winning banners for boards are not banners that the board itself would vote for or want.
It's a very flawed system to give the vote to the .5% (or less) of the population that has passes, but on the other hand I can't think of another way for them to do it.

>>648293
Sure am, what gave it away?
>>648300
It's not my home board anymore (which you could have easily figured out with basic reading comprehension). The thing is... when I used to frequent /adv/ you *didn't* hear that. That's the point. /adv/ is mostly a kind and helpful board. It doesn't deserve this shit.
>>648304
I'm less mad about the quality being shit. I'm used to that by now. I'm mad about the banners being completely and utterly *unrelated to the board*. That's what I don't get. How could anyone vote for that? Much less 117 people...

>>648084
Not really. The /hm/ submissions are terrible: 3 moot ones (nothing against him, he's just not what represents /hm/), two ones with, who I think is h3h4, and one which is actually board culture

The submission system is flawed and I think you should need to explain how your banner relates to your board before submitting

Guys post your favourites vs which one you think will win for each board

>>646718
Oh lord.

Lots of submissions this time

I didn't know /hm/ loved moot so much.

Yeah I think we just all tried to be ironic

this banner should win because it represents the actual board

>>648332
I thought it was funny, but you're right in that it doesn't represent it at all.
I'm very surprised to see how many banners /x/ had, and there's a good showing for the other boards as well. (although not so much /hm/ at just six).
It seems people haven't learned from previous mistakes and /o/ had a guy submitting two similar versions of the same one:

>>648610
We havnt had a moot thread in months so it's not like we idolise him. I also did find the screenshot of the last time he posted on /hm/ back in 2012 but I can't post it because it's nsfw

>>648619
bum bum bi dum bum bum bi dum dum

>>648620
Yes one must agree that /x/ has produced some nice banners. I'm also angry at the mars/hm/allows for having just one (1) board related submission. I know we're a small board but I didn't expect this.

I'm more surprised that we have 8 images of moot across 3 banners and all of them are different. I wasn't aware there was this much material of moot available...

>>648620
I can see those two banners being unrelated. Maybe it's a famous drift scene or just one that places high on google results.

The size is different. The fonts are completely different. The amount of work is staggeringly different. Cleaning up the japanese stuff and putting the board name in correct perspective on every frame is no joke. If someone had done that, they'd have used it on the second full frame banner as well for sure.

>>649517

Yep, those are made by different people. Even I was planning to submit similar. Then you'd be saying one guy submitted three

I ask this because they seem to move position once every hour.

>>649627
no, they've been randomized since a few weeks ago. they randomly trade places every so often.

does /qa/ need a banner

This question has probably been asked multiple times but here we go again...

Are you allowed to submit multiple banners for the same board? I know you could bypass that rule easily but asking anyway.

>>650972
yes

>>650322
This isn't a real board so no.

>>629246
I think the Chloe photo is pretty popular in /tv/, so it might be not that obscure.

>>637718
Damn those are pretty good ones. I'm happy for /ck/.

>>645225
so far i've only seen the animated /cgl/ banner and the gordon ramsey /ck/ banner, both multiple times. has anyone seen the other tied winners in the rotation?

>>648336

>/fa/
I don't know man, they're all pretty terrible and non-descript. Maybe the "forever alone guy" banner will win? I hate smoking but I'll probably vote for this because it's the only banner that has a bare minimum of style.
https://s.4cdn.org/image/contest_banners/802438920dfcf2fa2d81dfee2fab5244dfbb0005.png

>/hm/
I think the one with the many moot faces will win. I don't think it's a good banner or particularly well made, but I'll probably give this a pitty vote because the maker seems to care a lot (going by this thread).

>/o/
I get that's it's often the point, but I really hate those twitchy jumpy non-loops. It's been discussed before (even above in this thread) - I don't want to see that shit at the top of every page. I fear that [eurobeat intensifies] will win, because it's the only banner openly cashing in on a well known meme (two in fact). I could see myself voting for the tumbling car. But I'm almost ashamed to say - I'll probably vote for free candy since it immediately made me laugh. It's probably a horrible banner for the board, but it's just super funny to me.

I'm torn between the UFO flying in (bad loop) and "I want to believe" (bad text and a duplicate submission with some off-topic shit on the second banner - how are jews and lgbt paranormal?). "This is phone" and Candlejack are trying to cash in on memes, but I don't find them particuarly compelli

im torn between voting for lain or boyccubus in the /x/ poll

>>652847
If you support the ironic or unironic succubus cancer, you don't belong on /x/.

I have an idea for vp but im pretty sure someone has already done it

>>652917

>>652876
>succubus
well there is a lot of debate on whether that is a succubus or not.

>>652876
so is that a thing in /x/?

>>653169
It was a thing when /b/ spammed the shit out of /x/ with "how do I summon succubus" back in the early years and now it's an ironic joke taken too far that only furthers the place's current reputation as a mental asylum. Of course, nowadays there are people who actually hold unironic summoning generals too.

>>653233
hmmm I guess I'll go with lain then if its causing problems.

>>645765
Whelp. Looks like you got 19 votes and I got 110. That should put that discussion to rest... And if I hadn't submitted it would have just meant that a slightly more shitty moot banner would have won. Again, I feel sorry for you. The way you imagine it, *should* be the way it works - boards decide on banners that best represent them. But that's not how it actually works.

If you want, I'll give you my old pass as consolation. Once I have the new one (usually in two days) I can give you the one I previously won with still ~11 months left. Just post some proof you actually did the banner (dunno, maybe a screen of the original file with unmerged layers openend in your image editor) and leave a disposable e-mail address and I'll get back to you in a few days.

Fuck. I wanted to submit a banner for /vp/ today, as it was the "last day", but I ran out of time it seems.

As for the pass, I would like to pass on it as I think my days on /hm/ are slowly coming to an end. It's becoming filled with too many newfags and the family feel is getting lost.

However, I would like to ask if you could give the 11 month to the person who made it for me on /wsr/ (I just gave him the ideas). I'll try to find his email address and to this one will attach an image of us working together through the design process. If it's ok with you that is.

Oh well, since the pass is just two numbers you could have pretended it was you and just forwarded it to the other anon, so to reward your honesty how about we pretend we didn't have that conversation?

Post that image and leave an e-mail address and I'll send it to you in like two days (or to "you", although I don't know how I feel about you publishing that poor anons address).

>>655701
/g/ and /veep/ honestly have more board culture and more identifiable memes. /wsg/ and /w/+/wg/ are just bland imagedump boards by comparison, based around image formats of all things. There's less to tie it all together.

Some of these are really good, they should put up more than just the top winner. The second place winner of /3dcg/ is just as good as the top place, and they're both ahead of the others by a massive margin.

>>655880
Agreed. They don't even need to give out prizes for the runners-up.

>>655880

>Brock banner
Why would you think that a banner of Brock, a character that hasn't been on the show in 6 years and is not a fundamental part of who /vp/ is, would be a good idea for the board?

I see what the other boards have been complaining about now about people submitting and voting for things that have no application to what the board is.

>>656599
nobody knows. currently /soc/ and /mlp/ (containment boards with global rules against their content), /r/ (one of the oldest boards and nowadays strictly a porn dump / adult board), and /sp/ (one of the biggest boards) are up on the contest. all rules we've previously speculated about are pretty much out the window and everything is possible at this point.

these boards are left:
/a/, /aco/, /b/, /co/, /d/, /fit/, /gif/, /h/, /hc/, /int/, /j/, /k/, /mu/, /pol/, /qa/, /qst/, /r9k/, /s/, /tg/, /trash/, /tv/, /v/, /vg/

/aco/ and /qst/ are pretty new and small.
/trash/ in many regards is similar to /mlp/.
/s/ is the female equivalent of /hm/ which was recently on the contest.
/hc/ is small enough.
/tg/ and /fit/ have strong board culture.

i can easily see one or two more weeks of contest happening. or maybe the mods go all out and in time *every* board will get a banner. who knows.

This is really the last two weeks of banners? I'm disappointed, I wanted every board to get a banner.

>>656645

Made it again. this time clearly stating in the OP what it was about, the rules and the purpose.

Got around 70 posts, some ideas being thrown around too and then it was deleted. I'm now serving a 3 day ban on /sp/.

Sports I care about are going to be airing and I won't even be able to shitpost because this cunt janitor wants nothing more than to kill /sp/. Literally no fun allowed, what an absolute cunt.

Pretty vexed about it desu, this is supposed to be a competition for boards to get into, it's 4chan culture, what harm is one thread when there's plenty of shit in the catalog he leaves untouched? The prick

Ah yes, the hallmark of someone whose only purpose on this site is to shitpost and nothing more than that. You even flat out admitted to it.
Not even hotpockets, but you deserve it for being typical /sp/ trash that feels as if they have a reputation to keep up by shitposting.

>>659110
Same thing as 4CC, doesn't matter how much people like it or how it contributes to giving the board a sense of community, the mod says "hurr durr off topic" so it gets deleted.

>>659160
Because gaming has much to do with sports.
"Sense of community," you mean a bunch of people spamming greentext and memes in response to something?

>>659157

plz revoke ban

Wow /vp/ has lots of nice ones. Good job, everybody!

>>659532
Me too. But I actually have some ideas (not very good ones but still), but I just can't be arsed anymore. I spend time on /r/ here and there and /soc/ should be relatively easy to put into a banner (dicks, dicks, dicks).

I'm probably burned out. Kinda glad the contest is ending. I feel like I really should submit each week, but... urgh, I'm just so fed up with 468x60 -.-

>>656704
>>656722
Do you need a 4chan pass to see which banners make it to the voting stage? I have submitted two (Richard Sherman, which I'm quite proud of, and Arjen Robben, which is just obligatory) and while they might not win compared to some of the ones posted in this thread (they're not gifs, for one thing), I'd like to know if anybody votes for them, and what they're up against.

I don't have a 4chan pass, so if I can't see all the entries, can someone please post them here?

>>660858
No, everyone can see the banners once the voting stage begins.

>>660884
That's amazing. Thank you.

I think the scrolling "Install Gentoo" banner should win for /g/, "Amicitia Magia Est" for /mlp/, and I can't decide for /vp/ between "Nope, there's only trash here" and the Slowpokes (?) turning their heads round. If the creators of any of those are here, be very proud. In fact, you should all be proud; I don't think I disliked any banners.

>>660890
>"Amicitia Magia Est" for /mlp/
Anon from /mlp/ here. Overall sentiment from /mlp/'s banner threads seems opposed to 4CC-related banners ("amicitia..." is the team slogan or something), since they're more likely to piss people off than anything else, and that isn't really good advertising.

>>660902
I saw it along the side of the /mlp/ stadium, but I thought it was an actual board meme. I also like the idea of adopting the classy ancient Roman aesthetic, since your imagery is banned on the rest of 4chan. It also gives your board an extra Western tone, which is appropriate since ponies are basically animu for Westerners.

Translating your slogans into Latin seems like a great idea, and to be fair, if you tushy-trigger as many people as you apparently do, any mention of your board will probably lead to widespread ravaged rectums, whether you include pretend sport or not.

The second banner out of the five I sent got rejected. I think it was this one, but why would they reject it? They've accepted banners with single letters for the board name before. Oh well, it wasn't my best.
I wish they would tell you which one they rejected :\ Otherwise, I have no way of knowing.
Chrome orders bookmarks according to date, right? Then I'd know for sure this one was the one that was rejected. It could also be pic related, because it's implied fucking.

Well, it sort of is - "friendship is magic" is the name of the show, and "the ride never ends" is definitely a board meme. But the Latin version is mainly associated with 4CC.

>your imagery is banned on the rest of 4chan
It seems like GR15 does not apply to the banner contest. Otherwise about half the /mlp/ banners up for voting right now would have been rejected by the mods.

Plus I think even the cutie marks on their own (the 3 apples, etc, on the sides of the Amicita banner) are subject to deletion under GR15, if only because Barneyfag will recognize them and flip his shit.

>It also gives your board an extra Western tone, which is appropriate since ponies are basically animu for Westerners
Good point, hadn't thought of it like that.

>to be fair, if you tushy-trigger as many people as you apparently do, any mention of your board will probably lead to widespread ravaged rectums, whether you include pretend sport or not

/a/, /aco/, /b/, /co/, /fit/, /gif/, /hc/, /int/, /mu/, /pol/, /qa/, /qst/, /r9k/, /s/, /tg/, /trash/, /tv/, /v/, /vg/

just looked at /h/ for the first time ever - i'm surprised they have a way lower post count than /d/. i figured /h/ was the mother board and /d/ was a tiny offshoot. very strange.

>>662201
Is there a blank day between the contest ending on the 11th and voting starting on the 12th, or does voting begin as soon as they stop accepting entries?

>CWC
I fucking hate you assholes so god damned much.

>>662201
Because /h/ is replicated much better on other sites while /d/ isn't. It's harder to find large amounts of quality /d/ content without having to sift through massive piles of garbage. Though having said that /d/ is about half as fast as it used to be since the /aco/ split.

How fucking autistic do you have to be to make anti-pony banners for a pony board? And the fucking mods allow this shit to pass by unnoticed?

The banners that were chosen for /mlp/ were explicitly designed to be anti-pony by someone who admitted this. How mods let this happen, I have no clue.

We were trying to get everybody to vote for the butts one but EVERY GOD DAMN IDIOT ON OUR BOARD JUST VOTED FOR WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANTED

I don't think its because you were paired with them.

>>662805
It's more than that, one person made FIVE anti-MLP banners. Any of the ones he made should be thrown out.

>>662802
I wondered this when looking at the result but figured it was just some in-joke on /vp/

I'm surprised it has that many votes then if it's not really got anything to do with you

Do your part, even if it results in a ban.

This guy also bragged about buying multiple 4chan passes, and voting his own contest entries up.

You can look it up in the /mlp/ contest threads.

Please consider to verify the validity of the voting...

there sure is. always has been. the first week i wanted to submit on the last day only to find out it was already closed. voting always starts 24h after submissions close. probably to give them time to review the last entries.

I did the math, and it turns out /mlp/ lost because no one was voting.
257 is how many people voted on /3/, the first board in the banner contest. Then adding all the anons that won passes for each board, that makes it 302.
Only 195 votes are distributed on /mlp/.

>>28391241
normal browsers likely didn't give a shit. /3/ is a neutral far more accessible topic unlike multicolored honkyponkies in generality so people probably went in there just to see the banners.

Suck it up. /mlp/ wasn't the first board to get completely shafted (/adv/ - the banner featuring a post from a *different* fucking board literally telling you to kill yourself for a board designed to help suicidal people -.-, /sci/, /dyi/, /f/) and it won't be last. The contest's voting system is flawed beyond repair. If we assume a constant pool of trolls and assholes who'll always vote for hateful banners, then the more quality banners people submit, the more awful the result will be (if honest voters are split between alternatives while troll voters are not, then a minority decides on a banner most voters hate). It's a shitty voting system with predictable results.

>>662834
Why would that lead to "invalid" voting? One pass, one vote. That's literally how it works.
>>662863
That's not how any of this works. You authenticate your device with a pass, not your IP. And you can even swap devices every 30 minutes on the same pass. You don't need a VPN and you don't even need multiple devices. Just swap through them and put in your votes. Everything according to how passes and the contest were designed.

>>662897
/mlp/ is the only reason for 4 Chan to exist so fuck off troll!

valid in terms of a banner being for promoting a board and not troll bait probs.

No, one pass one vote. but you can have as many passes as you want. Anons above were claiming this is somehow bannable or ilicit in terms of voting. It is not. Passes are designed to be independent of your IP.

>>663056
>BY ONE GUY

Yeah, but this is not a popular vote in a state democracy where we all agreed that every person should have exactly one vote. This is 4chan. And the rules of the contest state:
>One vote per pass per board

Not every vote has to be a personal vote or have equal weight. Votes at shareholder meetings work the same way - it's transferrable and those who invested more money have more votes. Such a system is far from outlandish...

>>663064
easily abusable though as a folly. probably laughing to the bank off of the 'tard bux they inhaled off of it too.

Well that was bullshit. Fuck you Barneyfag, and fuck the mods that let his banners in.

>>663072
>easily abusable
If the premise is that every pass has a vote, buying multiple passes for multiple votes is a legitimate use, not an abuse. It's a feature, probably (as you mentioned) to make money (though if spending bucks on 4chan to force a meaningless banner on a board you dislike is really the best way to spend your money - more power to you and good on 4chan for finding an idiot who gives them a bunch of wasted money).

The problem I have with your line of thinking: What would be the alternative to such a system you call "easily abusable"? I literally cannot think of a better system (or a system at all) that limits every user to exactly 1 vote. What we have right now might actually be the *least* abusable system. The only bad thing is that it benefits rich people, but compared to every other ineffective technique of tracking unique votes (IPs, cookies, etc), it is surprisingly effective at deterring ballot stuffing and providing a barrier of entry for cheaters.
