You totally took me out of context, forboding. I didn't say mods content shouldn't be featured on the front page. I didn't say that mods shouldn't benefit from their work being on the frontpage (hence the link suggestion). I did however, say that mods have no place sticking big logos on the frontpage which compete with the visual hierarchy of the website.

Again, no desire to get into a big bawwfest, as has been made clear, we don't really have a heap of say in all this (which is for the best), I just don't appreciate having my words twisted to mean something I did not intend.

In other words, that's what you said. I already said I don't agree with you, but whatever, I'm sure you'll get your way so there's no point in your getting pissy.

Oddly, I wasn't pissy about the point being made. I was pissy because of the fact that I couldn't figure out whether or not I should care in the first place. :lol:

then don't care.

I do not agree with you stance and do support warlord's stance. However, the argument has already happened and there is NO POINT in reliving it. I'll not get into views or counter views but I felt a fairly reasonable compromise was met and argh did so with a smaller logo which to me felt reasonable enough even though I disagree. Why have the argument again? There is no point, you said your sentiments as did, argh, myself and warlord Z.

I don't care that my opinion didn't win and yours didn't either, what is the point bearing any frustration or resentment over it?

Well because the agreement was 18 pt font, yet here WZ is trying to impost 12 pt on everyone even though an agreement was already reached. It's annoying and damn near infuriating. These people think that they can just change the rules any time that is pleases them.

Am I crazy or didn't you argue in favor of 12 point font on your other Spring news website? (Can I take this to mean your site now has a larger font?)

Merely stating an opinion he wasn't imposing anything except that:

so you take exception to the fact that he thinks 12pt would be better and that the logo should never take attention away from the fact that it is the spring frontpage?

You guys are seriously having a 2 page discussion over a text size on a banner?

What? Springinfo has always used the same font size (12 pt if I'm not mistaken) and some people were complaining that that was too small.

We aren't talking about website text here, we are talking about frontpage banners.

We all agreed upon this:

But now WZ wants to change the agreement to this:

@hoi, the other thread was longer.

To be honest I don't think the banners should use text at all.

Save that for the frontpage image.

Won't get into a flame war over it though, that is my opinion and I shall say no more.

These are examples of the frontpage images if we ever get hte access to post in the site content forum.

Wat in the hell are you talking about? The banner image is the banner across the top that says "Spring Engine".
