Author Topic: New A.org banner is ugly now (Read 4163 times)

Specifically the string, "SERVING THE AMIGA COMMUNITY SINCE 1994" in that ridiculous army font with the urine yellow color. It's as if my cat, Charlie, escaped from his cage, crawled into the web server and took a piss on the banner. My cat lives in a cage because he pees on my shoes and in the corners of my apartment.

For the love of broccoli and unwashed socks, can this be rectified. Perhaps by using a completely different font, and the color white. Maybe even reverting back to that version of the banner with cursive font.

Also, the site owners avatar should be changed. I think we should be allowed to vote on it. I liked the yoda better. I'm an atheist, not much of a fan of Jesus Christ. Every time I see a post by Wayne i see his Christ avatar pointing and winking at me. It's as if he's saying, "Pick up a bible buddy *wink*, or you're going to hell". This doesn't sit easy with me.

hahahaha....

... and someone in the other thread even feigned to suggest that we could all agree on what "the community" actually is...

:laughing:

As for my icon, perhaps you need to see the movie "Dogma" to understand the reference to "Buddy Christ".

:laughing:

I know what a buddy christ is, I'm just yanking your chain about that. I love that new banner you posted, you should put that on the main header. The color and font is much better. You had that banner looking real nice, and then you dumped a bizarre yellow font on there!

Also, my cat: (he likes the font (it reminds him of his handy work) )

poor kitty. What'd he do to get locked up?

What's the point of keeping the cat in a cage? If it pissed all over the place give it to someone else.

He urinates in odd places like the bathroom floor, kitchen floor and corners. Always the same places. Solution, a cage. Better than euthanasia. Better than pawning him off on a stranger who would most likely shove him outside. It has no claws and no outside survival skills.

go ahead... pick a color you don't like out of that one..

I've tried for 2 years. Nobody wants him, not even the animal hippies. I'm upfront about his problem, that's the problem. I refuse to be dishonest, it's not fair to the person who might take him, nor is it fair to the cat. Maybe I'm a sucker?

Off topic, and I didn't mean to point fingers. I understand all too well, having three cats.

[edit. well I guess technically, cat piss is on topic, so go ahead]

Back on topic, would you settle for the tagline brought to you by the rainbow coalition?

I see what you've done with it, I can live with that! Matches the checkmark rainbow! Cool!

Well, hopefully he gets out of the cage often for some exercise. (I care about all animals -- not trying to give you a hard time.)

Amiga banner looks fine. We have more important minutia to argue about, don't we? :-)
