We're still working out the kinks but I've finished creating banners for the time being and am working on placing this animation on the site so it looks presentable. |

We are still tinkering guys.....I don't like it flashing so quickly.....I want it to be as unobtrusive as possible.....and still get the job done...hang in there....and so everyone knows this is a 2 month trial..I am monitoring very closely what goes on.....so if something happens and the board changes, in a bad way, we can take them down immediately....with no harm done to anyone....and no messy contracts or monies or anything.... |

It's not perfect and one of the advertisers wants us to take his out immediately.....so we will have to pull this down for a few minutes in a little while...then it will go back up. Certainly not our intention to piss anyone off.....that's why the trial run.... |

I just got off the phone with Brian McQueen and if you for instance click on the picture on my banner or click MANONTHEROCK's banner, it will link you directly to our auctions. But they probably need to slow down- 5 seconds is too fast, maybe 10 seconds would be better. |

not a distraction, although I agree the speed the banners change is a little too fast, makes it hard to focus on anything else (or read the banners...) |

Ryan - I like the shape and typeface of the bottom add better, however to me the player facial composition in the top add is more compelling. I would reverse players 3 & 4 in the bottom add to have the order the same as in the top add. Well that is not the same order, but the same middle two with the same bookends. The middle two images in top are haunting. |

The rotation starts the flash file over upon each refresh...as of now. Lucky first advertiser, huh? We are looking into having it be random which I believe will be better. As I have said I had several business reasons I wanted to get this beta up now....also, we would never have known how it looked if we never tried it. So, the answer is yes, it's the way it's supposed to be as of now...and there will (hopefully) be a solution in the near future. |

I also noticed every time I refreshed the screen I saw my banner, so it was obviously planned that way. And of course I say thanks for that...but you are welcome to rotate and let someone else be first,too. |

Ryan, I'm with martindl on this. I like the lettering of the second, and the more fullbodied (or at least half-bodied) look of the first. Both are nice though. |

#2 is far superior. The first one looks distorted so the faces look odd from the proportions. They're both the same thing, but the second one just looks cleaner to me. |

In all seriousness, my one suggestion would be to increase the size of the links to the b/s/t, old cardboard, etc. and slightly reduce the size of the link to the poll. |

it's in the works...and most likely my website link will come down...we are working on redesigning that space a little bit....good suggestions.....btw, I better not see anyone holding back about anything ....that was my main concern about the banners but I think this group is very outspoken and not timid...so not too worried... |

Thanks for the comments. This thread has been fascinating for me. It really shows the way different people can look at the same thing and all see something different. In fact, to some, the original player images in the first ad above looked distorted and weirdly proportioned compared to the second one, but it was the images in the second one that had been altered and disproportioned. Since I knew the second images were distorted, they looked worse to me, but had I never seen the originals, I, too, might have thought they looked better. |

ryan i like the top one. the bottom has too much black or dead space imo. the top fills the available space and i like the "name" on the players as opposed to floating in air. |
