If you could update our banner with mr Trump and Theresa May or as you see fit that would be great, thanks for offering.

I have asked from an artist to make a caricature version for us to test, but it would be great to have a picture banner ready. And I am not very good at making that. Varax did the existing one.

Yeah about the new avatars, the decision is quite clear, we will not be allowing the new avatar generator.

I had initially thought the avatars looked exciting and new. However I feel that they are unnatural and do not convey the same level of seriousness that the traditional black and white pictures do.

If we have pictures and graphics instead of actual photographs we might find ourselves turning into a cartoon forum.

Do stereotypical pink-haired anime girls count as caricatures? Because there would be nothing more hilarious and stand-outish than to see a bright pink anime girl in amidst a bunch of black and white photographs.
