Regarding the home page.

[Mike1984]

I dont even know anything about BL tan. the old man part of me though dislikes the idea of getting rid of the classics.

now get off my lawn.

Yeah, I have no idea who "BL-tan" is (beyond "the girl in the top corner of the page"). I don't see any point in getting rid of her, though, unless someone has an alternative (and, no, "Shinji" is not an "alternative"...).

[Sherrinford]

Yeah, what's the story behind BL-tan?

[Neir]

Shinji is totally an alternative.

[SeiKeo]

Make it Seo.

[Neir]

Make it Seo.

Or Hanepin.

Everyone loves Hanepin.

[Lycodrake]

...I don't know the story behind BL-tan, but would a) like to know and b) like that to stay the same. XP

[Tobias]

Everyone loves Hanepin's breasts.

fixd

[Neir]

fixd

That's what I said the first time.

[deviatesfish]

Breasts are good

[Milbunk]

According to the old guys on the irc, they think that BL-tan was made by someone known as Sae and was there even before Depletion Garden back in 2004 I think?

Also there was a forumite who had a name similar to Koto's way back then.

[Ruca_Milda]

I always thought BL-tan was just Len in some other costume.

She has cat ears don't remove heeeeeeeer

[Kotonoha]

Yeah, I have no idea who "BL-tan" is (beyond "the girl in the top corner of the page"). I don't see any point in getting rid of her, though, unless someone has an alternative (and, no, "Shinji" is not an "alternative"...).

I think Shinji is a good alternative.

We could even put cat ears on him for the sake of Ruca the animal fucker.

[Spinach]

I want the new mascot to be a tree.

[Milbunk]

I think it should stay as it is with maybe a new resolution update if someone felt like doing it.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I want the new mascot to be a tree.

So Kotomine can pelvic thrust it into submission?

[Ruca_Milda]

I think Shinji is a good alternative.

We could even put cat ears on him for the sake of Ruca the animal fucker.

ooh mr cat-eared shinji ooh

[RacingeR]

General consensus in #notes seems to be a vote for the new mascots being the track girls, with cat ears, and in their birthday suits.

[Gaia]

I think Neco-Arc should be our new mascot!

[Rockxas]

Kotonoha-drawn Shinji seems like a good option to me as far as mascots go, I mean, not totally hating Shinji is one of the things that makes BL, well, BL!

[Dark Pulse]

But yeah, I don't really see the point of the KnK and MTnY or blog parts there.

Future things. Surely someone's going to be working on a translation for it, so it's a good idea to have a category for progress updates, isn't it?

Also, the blogs are more popular than you think.

We should get some news contributors already.
You know, people with more than 10k posts who have nothing to do and just spend the days on the forum doing nothing productive why are you looking at me.

This. And I can promote posts to articles, after all... so if there's a post that has something noteworthy that you feel deserves being up there, pass it along. This way, there'll be, y'know... a point to the front page.

You expect me to do something productive?

Yes, or you're fired.

The people have spoken.

Darples, we need a Shinji mascot, now.

I've been trying to push Neco-Shinji, but nobody seems to be taking me up on it. Not a single piece of art. Therefore, you all suck shit and should be ashamed of yourselves, as I've made references to him every now and again since I took up this job.

Never been a particularly big fan of the mascot at the top, myself.

I was actually thinking we could have rotating image banners. That is definitely something I could set up... I'd just need art to do it. Any volunteers?

Yeah, I have no idea who "BL-tan" is (beyond "the girl in the top corner of the page"). I don't see any point in getting rid of her, though, unless someone has an alternative (and, no, "Shinji" is not an "alternative"...).

Sure he is. Alternate banners would be put up to a vote, anyway, so you'd have a choice of not voting for him, but if people want him there... well, you lose, Mike. Sorry.

Or Hanepin.

Everyone loves Hanepin.

I'm fine with Seo, Hanei, or Souka. And for that matter, Himuro, Yukika, and Makidera also work. Ayako too, of course.

But as I said, they can definitely be entries for a banner contest, if that sounds like an idea that seriously interests people.
