I think that will go over as well as the time I tried to make a nice logo for the site.

I still think that the Ouroboros symbol has some merit, for a variety of reasons.

If you haven't already done so why don't you ask the userbase what they would, or would not, like?

A self-fellating reptile

So you expect the current userbase to create the content that attracts the future userbase, right?

Yet, on the other hand you still have the hope that the future userbase will be superior to the current one.

That's flawed and won't work.
No?

When did I say that?

If you haven't already done so why don't you ask the userbase what they would, or would not, like?

I have done a poll for a logo in the past and it was a resounding no.

So considering Nero fiddled over 1,000 years before your feel-good buzzphrase ever came about....its safe to assume my interpretation of your unfinished sentence has been more relevant and used a lot more frequently than your cute little catchphrase.

How would your interpretation have more relevance? When he says "you know what they say about rome" its kind of retarded of you to think of an archaic happening rather than the far more modern phrase because relevance is well relative. How is something that happened 1,000 years ago more relevant than something that happened 500 years ago?
tl;dr: idealism will not un-rape you.

You didn't but I thought we all shared that hope.

I have done a poll for a logo in the past and it was a resounding no.

I believe the resounding sentiment was not your logo as it looked bad people were all for putting their own work at messing with a logo at the time

Well, yes, there's no point in denying it... that's one interpretation of the Ouroboros symbol... in that regard eating it's own ass would probably be more accurate. I should probably have mentioned that Arnox would have to have a sense of humour about it.

However I was initially thinking along the lines of enlightenment, self knowledge and infinity, plus the symbol can look stunning when properly drawn. And of course Arnox has an affinity with dragons; the symbol seems fitting for both site and site owner.

RisiR im a little confussed about what you are getting at. I would want to, in the future have a userbase superior to the current.

Is that a bad thing? Because at first you make it sound like a bad thing then you make it sound like a good thing. Or is it only a bad thing if arnox wants a superior userbase but a good thing if he doesnt or is indifferent?

I believe risir is getting at Arnox wanting to replace the current user base with one that falls more in line with the tone and posting style he wants rather than what he has now AKA essentially a new non totse forum

Correct me if I misinterpreted that RisiR

You're darn right I was! I put a lot of work into that logo. :suspect:

Besides that though, pretty much everyone in that thread said they didn't want a logo at all. Pretty clear to me what everyone wanted.

As long as it doesnt look like the fag pigeon that someone tried using as the site logo. That was disastrous

You have to admit...it did look like a pigeon that was raped by a herd of thundering rhinoceros-es then used as an elephants tampon before being flushed down the toilet and fished out of the sewage plant

No, none of that actually. I think Arnox dreams of a forum like that but that was not my point.

Closing the registration now means that we won't get any new members (I know Arnox claims that all new users are alts and we are not getting any new ones anyway but fuck that). The current userbase consists of capable people who have turned their backs on Arnox for various legitimate reasons so they won't contribute anything until certain site elements are fixed (equanimity demodded etc.) and shitposters. That's the group of people that's supposed to create all that great content that draws in the next generation  of semi-genius posters and free minds. That's the problem. It won't happen.
