How did this argument come about? Where did the old banner even come from (I've always been confused about this)?

Araya, what is your favorite color?「アラヤ、好きな色は？」
Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!「青、いや、オレンジイイイイイアアアっ！」
In other words "my chosen option is currently losing." :P
Nah, what it means is that a new BL-tan should be in one of the banners. With the current percentage of the votes, about 75% want either new banners with image & text, or a new one with BL-tan. Therefore, why not just do both?

Nah, what this poll really means is that we should just have text. You see, all of the poll options all support a banner with text, and therefore the only way we can please 100% of the crowd is through making it a text only banner. That settles all disputes.
Clearly, the people are trying to communicate their desire for a banner composed entirely of ascii art, but have no idea how with such limited poll options.
How about a banner that is nothing but an advertisement for J-List? Then maybe we really can become 4 chan.

Well of course, "rework the old one to make it better" isn't going to get discarded over just keeping the old one.

The optimal poll setup would've been to have two alternatives ("keep BL-tan or use something else?"), then followed by a new poll to determine to either use new/old BL-tan, or to either use text-only or text-and-images depending on the result of the first poll.
But then last time I suggested a change in poll-setup the result was a new poll with even more vote-splitting, so it's probably better if you don't act on what I just said.

We need a poll to vote on whether or not we should have a new poll that supplements the existing poll.

Yeah, but the contest hasn't started yet. Plus, the Sakura banner you're using is hardly one I'd particularly support (if it's the one I saw originally, anyway)....
Well, obviously 55 was an over-exaggeration, but the basic argument is valid, especially given that DP's voting system is heavily biased towards the most popular characters (even if Sakura herself may well fit into that group).To begin with, most of the ideas for rotating banners have had suggestions that probably wouldn't allow for 5 pictures of them, let alone 55; I doubt 55 banners would even be submitted. Also, one of those ideas came from DP himself, so you already know that the mods aren't considering letting such an extreme scenario to occur.
Not really, because I'm quite happy to not have Sakura displayed at the top of my screen one time in 10 (if that) if it means not having to have characters I may not want to be displayed there the rest of the time. Particularly given the tendancy for people on this forum to troll.By worrying about something that isn't very likely to happen, you're doing something much worse than not voting for Sakura - you're not even giving her a chance.
Plus, I dislike the idea of a rotating banner, and of having Nasuverse characters on it. I'd much rather just have one banner which represents the site, rather than 25 different banners of which I will probably dislike about 20.
Because my vote was not "I want to keep BL-tan" as much as it was "I don't want rotating banners with Nasuverse characters", and that is quite possibly true for many of the other people who voted for that option.
(Translation: Trolling = Having different tastes/opinons.)
Keep being classy :/.

You know, your opinion doesn't really matter. You're one person and you run counter to everyone else. It's basic democracy. The fact the mods listen to you is basically a courtesy of their part.
Hell, I'd say the fact the ones in charge listen to you so much is unfair in itself, given you're only one person that happens to shout very loudly and yet you still end up getting your way.

We all knew it would degenerate into such a shitstorm sooner or later.
I still intend to call it as I see it, though -_-

Since when is the forum a "democracy", though? The forum exists for the benefit of all the members, not just the majority.
No, they listen to me (in so far as they do at all) because what I'm saying actually makes sense. Just because a troll is popular that doesn't make them any less of a troll.Hell, I'd say the fact the ones in charge listen to you so much is unfair in itself, given you're only one person that happens to shout very loudly and yet you still end up getting your way.
But Mike, what if you can't please all the members?
