Saint's Row: The Third Header & Footer Contest

• The header is to be no taller than 250px and 750px wide.
• The footer is to be no taller than 150px and 450px wide.
• All entries must be themed to Saints Row: The Third.
• All entries must be sincere. That means no entries of intentionally poor quality (e.g. made in Paint).
• Entrants may post as many candidate entries as they wish until the entry period finishes. Then, when the voting stage is to begin, entrants may be asked to select only a certain number of their headers and footers to be part of the voting stage.
• There is currently no set deadline for entries, and one will be defined at a future date.
• Some rules may be subject to change.

Honestly, Memento Mori, I don't like it when a forum's header says "Welcome" or breaks the fourth wall by talking to the visiting members. Haven't since my lurking days on Neo. Just personal preference. Everything else about it looks great.

What Program do you use. Better not be like this sap who ive quoted who uses appleworks

It's annoying seeing rubbish ones though.

they dont stay for long. you should be glad that one of those isnt the permanent one

Yeah, you'll get the bad banners with the good ones, but I like how it maximizes the amount of banners up there.

quote Memento Mori

If a forum has a tacky banner that looks shit, it is not going to make people want to post in it. A high level of presentation goes a long way - this is something that has a far wider reach than a simple forum.

Don't be ridiculous. People go to forums for the info and communication.

This isn't a matter of quality vs. quantity at all. You just want there to be 1 permanent picture instead of many.

Different people like different things. All you have to do is refresh the page for a different ("better") picture.

We just need there to be a sentence above the picture (sort of like the Loungin' captions used to be), that says something like "Refresh the page for a different header".

How come i didnt get notified for this?

quote Memento Mori

What about rotating headers of screenshots from us lot? A similar idea has been done elsewhere in the past, and I think it could work here. And as we play more, we can create more screenshots, and so it could in theory mean the header never gets boring.

And how often do you propose to update it? I'm sure everyone could provide tens of screen-shots per day.

And how about getting rid of the big white frame and the name of the game?

The name of the game is at the top of the forum anyway and the frame would just make the picture appear smaller. Besides, we don't all have the same picture editing software.


It should still be a rotating system! But now with a lot more pictures.

For once, you've made a good suggestion.

You think maybe we can be just a little less snide?

quote Randome

In the Neoseeker gallery we can comment of the pictures and get notifications for those comments. The less sites are involved, the more convenient it is for members.

quote Randome

Not at all. Can you imagine how lame the internet would be if people would have thought that in the 80's?

I'm not sure how easily this can be done in Neoseeker, but there's a brilliant slideshow-type gallery in the gaming wikias. Look at the example on the bottom of this page: http://saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/Daedalus

The advantages are:

• No need to refresh the page to get a new picture.
• The pictures can still be links to fill-size images.
• It has those triangular links on either side, to move it back and fourth. New visitors can look at the whole thing and older ones can look at the most recent ones.
• Pictures can have any proportions. The gallery automatically adjusts every picture, with out stretching the pictures.

Surely someone could think of a way to make it start at a random point. And there could be additional links to the first and last picture.

quote Randome

What do you have against uploading to Neoseeker?

quote Randome

A big complicated program like that would let us see all pictures, with out having to refresh the page 1000 times. There's going to be hundreds at least tens of screen-shots. Can you imagine how long it would take if someone wanted to see them all.
