The BL Banner Poll

[Aku]

I'm pretty sure Sae was a little upset rather than coming in to troll. Definitely didn't come in for the sole purpose of trolling and insulting.

I think Sae just likes having a history, same way everyone else who wants BL-tan probably does.

Let's look at the post again.

Well, everyone's got their opinion. Even if their opinion is total shit, like Kotonoha here.

Say, you guys want more people to visit? Yeah, keep up that attitude. It's just like /b/ here. No, seriously. You guys have done a wonderful job with making this entire forum a complete cesspool. It's all Mike1984 hate and Little Miss Estrogen on 24/7 Menstruation Mode here. What are you, 15? Abortion jokes?

Any case. Getting back to the topic (because I know you guys'll get derailed after a few posts talkin' about your waifus), you can make your own banners, your own mascot. Whatever. Keep BL-tan or no, update her, put Shinji up there so everyone knows this is an entire forum dedicated to boy's love and pandering to rotten little fujoshis. You're free to wipe away what little anchor it has left to its 10 year history, because Mike did the rest by having proboards eradicate our archives and nuke a lot of threads, so why not finish off the job, right?

What a charming individual, this is definitely what non-trolls sound like when they are "a little upset". I'm sure he just wanted to preserve BL's wonderful history and not just shit everywhere because we suggested his character design wasn't a masterpiece of loli uguu. I sure do want to draw him some fanart of his ORIGINAL BL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL.

[Kratosirving]

Sure his response wasn't nice, but you can't say Sae is the one to blame when you threw the first punch.

Hey.

I'm Sae, I created the mascot. I joined up around....well, a long time ago. Back when EvoSpace was still around, back when we didn't have separate forums and it was just one giant forum page with lots of threads.

I heard someone was talkin' shit about my baby.

Yeah she's ugly so we're aborting her.

[Aku]

I'll just say that as far as I can tell, half of that post is about how throwing out BL-tan is letting go of whatever connection BL has left to its history.

I don't think the situation is quite that extreme, but either way, half of that post was dedicated to saying that.
That is all I really have to say on the subject.

(Incidentally, that wasn't the first post he made in the thread. That was the post he made in response to your not entirely friendly responses to his first post. His first post, ie. what he came on here to say, was quite non-hostile. Saying anything else is twisting of facts.)

But that's really all I have to say on the matter so feel free to get in the last word if you so desire, I really oughta go get on top of my drawing now.


Edit: And Kratosirving brought up precisely what I was referring to. With quotes even! Good on you, Kratosirving.

[Kotonoha]

Sure his response wasn't nice, but you can't say Sae is the one to blame when you threw the first punch.

So I make what he himself acknowledged was a joke, and his response is to shit on the entire forum.

Clearly he is the victim here. That poor, sensitive soul.

I'll just say that as far as I can tell, half of that post is about how throwing out BL-tan is letting go of whatever connection BL has left to its history.

While also blaming Mike for the old forum getting deleted, despite Mike not saying ANYTHING to him. And calling us "rotten little fujoshis" (because ewwww there's women on the forum). And saying BL's users have made the forum into a cesspool.

Seriously, don't defend this guy, he's just trolling. None of that is the result of "hurt feelings" because I poked fun at him for calling the banner his baby.

[Kratosirving]

I never suggested defending him at all. I believe that Sae is at fault for everything you've said here Koto, but I'm not letting you off the hook for being just as responsible as Sae is for starting this latest shitstorm. You don't deserve any form of support either.

[TypeWannabe]

Spinach's words on the first page sounds exactly like something I would say, caps and all.

Who's supporting me to begin with? Nobody's saying "poor Koto, she cannot be held responsible for what she says because her feelings were hurt".

Whereas Aku IS defending Sae with pretty much that exact reasoning.

I strive to imitate your posting style, Master TW.

As a random aside, allow me to sum up BL today.

[RacingeR]

Now, THAT should be the new banner.

[Erlkonig]

No, don't take BL-tan away ;_;

She's been here for far too long to be just thrown and discarded away like that. It just feels... weird.

EDIT: Yeah I know, u no from old BL, but I've still been here a considerable amount of time.

I LOL'd.

It's brilliant.

[Mormarth]

Votin for text only

No more fun ever. We must all enjoy a nice wholesome splash of letters across the top.

IN FACT

NO BANNERS. FOX ONLY. FINAL DESTINATION.

[Mereo Flere]

Honestly, while I wouldn't mind an updated BL-Tan (Kaiza made quite a decent banner in the other thread), I'd prefer a new BL-tan over it if we didn't do other kinds of Image Banners to begin with.

Part of me just can't help but think the message it sends is "Welcome to BL! By the way, this was made by someone who hates the forum!"

Seems rather silly to me.

I do have a good argument for a BL-Tan 2.0, anyway. She'd effectively be a little sister to the original. I already have a nickname for her: Nimouto.

You guys don't have anything against little sisters, do you?

[TypeWannabe]

But new members wouldn't even know her older sister to begin with! The story will always be incomplete for them!

Even new members would know that little sisters have older siblings, though.

[TypeWannabe]

How would they even know she was a younger sister!

[Mereo Flere]

Nimouto: Imouto's right in the nickname.

[RadiantBeam]

Just update the old BL-Tan with a newer, more clear image

[Erlkonig]

Part of me just can't help but think the message it sends is "Welcome to BL! By the way, this was made by someone who hates the forum!"

Eh, that's up to whoever sees the image to interpretate as he likes. For example, even if the one who made it 'hated the forum' or such (Haven't been in the thread), you could just think of BL-tan as a non-related, completely innocent personification of the forum.

(Really though, BL-tan hardly seems like a personification now. If it were one, she should be stained by purple marks, be placed on top of a pyramid divided in levels and black text surrounding her with spoilers. The moonrunes are fine, however.)
