Sorry for the delay, I finally got it finished.

earthworm_jim

effing cool!

worth waiting for.

www.challenge-ie.com has been registered. Hopefully this week, or early next, we'll be moving the site over and getting about 5 columnists set up.

As soon as I have ftp access I'll write the code to cycle the banners. Thanks everyone - this community has more than just FPS talent!

p.s. columns will come with a @challenge-ie email addy!

Lads whats the ****ing problem with rotating banners?

There's obviously a couple of excellent ideas/symbols and some damn good banners eg dev/vor/mp to name a few ... [1]

So Vor - whats your problem with it?

Take it easy..

1. Apologies to those I'm missing, just can't remember them all right now

I think this comp. has shown that we have some very talented people lurking in this little "community" of ours.

Nice one MP

Vorosha

Personally my opinion would be that, the rotating banner idea is tacky and ugly. There are a fine collection of very bad banners entered into this 'competition' (opinion orientated) and for other countries to see this (without knowing that the banner actually rotates to better ones) would drag down the reputation of Quake players in Ireland.

Also, almost all banners differ from eachother greatly so the overal design of the site will have to be either bland and ****e (to accommodate all banners) or relate to one of the banners and be good 10% of the time, until the banner rotates and then it's ****e 90% of the time.

A vote on which banner is the best is the obvious solution.

its up to whoever is doing all the work on the challenge.ie site to decide which or what they want.

Vorosha

I don't think so. The person who's doing all the work on the site invited alot of people to try and help out (in the guise of a banner compo), I guess seeing as it's going to benefit us all and also represent us. I think everyones opinions should be taken on board. Maybe the ultimate decision lands on one person but this doesn't mean that that person won't be swayed or convinced to do it one way or another. It's not simply 'up to' them... I don't think. Is it?

Mickah

i agree with vor,
it was said at the start of this ickle fiasco that *one* banner would be picked. We're all grown up, I'm sure we'll all settle on what the challenge.ie lads choose as their banner.

Jedi

Ok , Mindphucks then. It class.

FreaK_BrutheR

Well Holy God,
Seems some of yous don't know anything about our pagan heritage. Up The Dolmens. That was the two faced statue of Boa Island on my banner by the way.

i lika da graphic too much.....and for what tis worth i reckon it shouldn't cycle.

Vorosha

Sorry guys but you can only get Dolmans in France. Remember Obelix outta Asterix?!? Maybe we should reconsider MP's entry? Soz MP!

Cool,

Ok, I think it will come down to EWJ to choose the banner. I'm not going to have a say because I have a few banenrs in there.

I'll do a page with all the banners on them.

I think some people are mistaking the rotating banner idea somewhat. It wont rotate while someone is looking at it.
It WILL likely be a different banner from the last time that person visited.

There are many good banners here.
My vote goes for a different one each unique visitor.

Here are my answers to issues raised above.

1. A standard background colour should be chosen. I think that is going to be black as a fair number of entries use it and its a strong colour that we can be identified with... I cant stand all irish things being green. Ick.

2. Since we are chosing a LIMITED NUMBER of entries the standard will be high. Not all banners entered will be accepted.

The final decision on setup will be EWJ and mine. The final decision on content will be EWJ.

I think once we pick banners we will have to give those people time to really work on their banner, I know mine are knocked up because I dont have 16 hours to put into a final version only to have a different banner picked...
