A question: I now seem to have the capability to set the viewing permissions on banners. Is it acceptable for me to set my own submissions to viewable by all, or should I leave that to Pale?

I'd give that call to Pale. He does most (if not all) of the banner work and maintenance so to my way of thinking he should be the one to set 'em loose. (Pale, be nice.)

That's what I thought, I just wanted to know the custom amongst the rest of you.

Really.
Look, lady, if we need you here we'll issue you a personal invitation, OK? Move along already.
Geez.

PS is better in terms of both features and UI (though its UI still leaves something to be desired IMHO), but GIMP does everything I need for free.

As far as I'm concerned, you can do what you want...but it will only last until I swoop in again. As long as you don't take it personally, then do whatever the fuck you want. Anyone at a 'staff' level on HS automatically gets a member-displayed banner. The ability to switch it to universal view may not be limited to me, but it IS supposed to be my domain.
If you have particularly strong feelings about a certain contribution, then feel free to message me. Otherwise, I will subject any new things I find to the same principles I have always used. Comic Sans is the font of morons, shit adapted from the NSFW thread is iffy, and anything with the wrong aspect ratio is instant trash.
Overall, we've had a raft of lameness, lately. I, myself, am partly to blame for not contributing. I have a new job and it takes my time. HS deserves better, since it's really the only graphic that people see regularly. Keep that in mind, when you design one. We have a lot of lurkers, and there's no knowing what they've seen beyond a general count of displays. My wish is to have things thoughtful, irreverent, and slightly twisted. If all you can come up with is tits and snatch, then go fap. If the rest is swiped from MCS or Space Ghetto, then at least put some comment on it that brands it for local use.

Does anyone else try to turn the three sidebar images into a coherent narrative?
Currently, for example, we have an easy one:
...bored of school, little Timmy goes into a psychotic fugue state, culminating in him flashing the Dean, a pedophile, who becomes distressingly aroused.

Yes, yes, yes, no, on the last series. The 'cold sore' thing depicts nothing of value. Spin that wheel again. I don't particularly LIKE the grapes guy or the mantits thing, but--in keeping with an attempt at transparency--it's not entirely up to me. We'll see how they do, vote-wise, if people actually start doing that again. I may personally get sick of them if I see them too often, but with the rotation cycle, it's unlikely.

Well, technically, there is. It's sorta arbitrary, but if you look at the banner statistics page, you will see nothing higher than a -9 (both of the ones presently there are not shown, but not yet deleted). When we had fewer banners and less voting activity, the threshold was -6 (the quicker to weed out Lurker, Redacted, etc). What else was the stats page created for, but to determine how popular a banner is? If you know some better way to separate the wheat from the chaff, then feel free to let me know.
I will probably ignore you, as no banner you may ever have created--and I don't remember any--is in current rotation. It's like someone who doesn't pay their taxes bitching about how the IRS is run.

Dude, now, you know how we feel looking at your Comic Sans riddled entries. I'd be doing none of us any favors trying to "soften the blow." Your latest entry wouldn't be half-bad if you would simply employ a decent font. Down-Load Paint.net if you're a broke-ass Mother-Fucker like my-self.

Comic Sans aside, crap, crap, and crap. Fled, if you can't be bothered to blend separate images, or at least find disturbingly non-intuitive pairs, then I suggest you cease and desist. There is no point in my detailing why each of these suck. Apparently, even Taint can do one in his sleep, and I wouldn't really count him as a 'graphic talent.' You're missing something, and it's not up to me to spell it out for you.
We are not amused.
MAKE FUCKING BANNERS, PEOPLE. Brave the gauntlet of some faggot with two decades of design experience and fairly intimate knowledge of the sickness that sells High Street. Fail, and it gets deleted. No harm done.
One of these days, I'm going to deliberately put a piece of shit into rotation, ignore the votes, and force you all to look at it over and over again. Then, maybe, you'll realize the purpose I serve, free of charge.

If it is a thing devoted to HS, then OK. If you really feel that I'm acting on my own, then please let me know. I would personally have killed off 90% of what existed if it was pure vanity, which implies a personal stake or interest in the results. I've reined in my own standards, vastly. Whether you need reminding or not, I used to produce in and manage graphic design facilities for publishing, advertising, and corporate usage in NYC.
If these qualifications don't suit you, then you're welcome to have the job, you trifling ass.

Sorry- That one was the red lettering rcade used only a short time. I'm replacing it with one using white lettering, the Cruel most of us remember.
