June 11, 201114 yr Yeah, the banner gave KH13 a distinctive style. It's what I missed most when the change came. And didn't Roxas win the poll for a new banner? He's my favorite; he needs to claim his prize!
June 11, 201114 yr As awesome as banners are... ...look at that giant ad we have at the top of the page. It's like having an ad but not having an ad. In fact, I've never taken a good look to even notice its existence. It's a well placed ad. Well placed as in 'the ad revenue people think its great but the users barely notice it'. I mean... where is that going to go? Can we get smaller ads... elsewhere? Does the site get less money from smaller ads? We also have a large ad sitting at the bottom of the page... *cough* Ok, wait, no, what's that even matter? Psssh... you don't need income from ads. I mean, yeah, hosting costs... (about as much as dinner at a restaurant once every three months). But, about those ads, how much are you even getting? Rhetorical question. I can understand if getting rid of that one ad at the top of the page in favor of a banner isn't a big deal - in fact, that's great! I'll look forward to a banner.
June 11, 201114 yr A banner would be great. Just keep the height the same as it is now. And it should blend in with the background. Oh and if you keep the logo, the extra space between the 1 and 3 should be adjusted. That has always bugged me. Gosh, I'm being picky today

June 12, 201114 yr I can already tell your opinion just by reading the answer options, but I would like to see another banner.
June 12, 201114 yr I wouldn't mind a banner. My only question is who should it be of? Sora's an obvious answer (and maybe Riku and Kairi), but he hasn't been the main character in awhile. Should it be someone (or people) from the newer games? Hmm…

There is an ad on top of the page. I didn't even notice. But we don't even notice the stuff on top of the page, then why have a banner?
June 12, 201114 yr Well if we had a banner, we might look at the top of the page! fool. Might looking at it isn't good enough.

I can understand if getting rid of that one ad at the top of the page in favor of a banner isn't a big deal - in fact, that's great! I'll look forward to a banner. It covers the hosting and stuff, yeah, but I also need some revenue from the site as I spend about half my life here working on it lmao. As for a measure of its importance, the ad at the top of the page brings in about 60% of the total revenue. That said, I'd love to have a banner, but at the same time, I love how the ad at the top of the page is inconspicuous. I'm not sure how to deal with both of those things and keep everyone happy, need ideas. I can already tell your opinion just by reading the answer options, but I would like to see another banner. Lmao

I'm not sure how to deal with both of those things and keep everyone happy, need ideas. I can understand how we, as a site, are not quite worth sitting down and having dinner and a milkshake with. ^^; Especially when there's no food and no milkshake and the only true payoff is smiles... and those ads. It's hard work running a site and you put so much time into it - and it looks great. I've got Google Chrome and I leave it in my top six on my homepage so I can check for news and save myself the two seconds it'd take me to actually type the site in case, heaven forbid, I'm missing a scene I need to make an AMV. This is now my favorite KH site, and a great combo of the other KH sites I used to visit with a bunch of new features to boot. *thumbs up* And because you do such an amazing job looking out for us, I was looking out for you with the ads in mind. I really like the front page how it is. I'm not a forum-friendly person most places, but having updates there of recent posts keeps me active. No matter what, ever, I want that staying. You're doing really well tiding the whole KH crowd over until real news picks back up again. Instead of visiting a handful sites, I just visit here. When the news picks up again, I'll be all over the place again, because I like being on top of things. *has no life*
Do you want a banner on KH13?
