STEAM | January - Block everyone except Jay Reno

 

[Spyware]

Option 3 and 5 seem to be the contenders for the next version.
Option 3:
Option 5:

I like 5 more. Won't interfere with any pictures, which might make it easier to find more good pics too

 

[bigzgod]

Are lurkers bad users though?

Not necessarily bad users but personally, I always feel like those that contribute and are part of the community deserve more than those that don't. Otherwise, it just seems like they're dropping in just to win stuff, even if that isn't the intention.

 

[Vazra]

Option 3 and 5 seem to be the contenders for the next version. I'll see how both of these end up when putting the thread together.
Option 5:

Yup my vote remains Option 5.

Option 5:

i am actually against lines. not because it looks bad; it doesn't. they look great.
but because it would offload work for you each month. given that - i am going a limp here - not many read the op each time or at all, it may not be justified for all that work. i also remember you posting being under some load of your new job as well.

but if that's what the people want, then go option 3!

I sure as hell read OP every month. I have no idea what games release each month. It's not work that goes to waste imo.

 

[zkylon]

Yup my vote remains Option 5.

seems like a questionable choice of font tho

[gngf123]

Aww, I blocked so many good people. Ok, but this can be a good thing. Here's the list. I already sorted some out. Help me to clean the list of everyone cool. Then we can get a list out of it that can help to reject people who are not part of the community if anyone has the need for it for whatever reason.

--I actually do this sometimes. But sometimes I just feel like using different methods.Very nice given that there is no deal for the game this sale.

BLOCK gngf123

Damnit Chariot.

 

[elementalsin]

I like the last option, feel most harmonic. The other options either if it was with a logo or with text felt too busy.

I agree with this one as well. Looks the most appealing out of the 5.

 

[darkchewie]

Still like option 5 the best.

STEAM | January - Block everyone except Jay Reno

Replace all the heads in the banner images with Jean Reno's each month and it will be glorious.

 

[Accoun]

Option 3 and 5 seem to be the contenders for the next version. I'll see how both of these end up when putting the thread together.

Option 3:


Option 5:

Still not sure if I wouldn't prefer the text on bottom, but I'll vote for 3.

 

[Ruruja]

Option 5 is alive!

 

[freshVeggie]

i have no clue about that tbh hah

I see how it is now.

I vote for option 5. It's much cleaner overall, I think.

Just dropping by to say that I prefer Option 5.

Oh, and a Merry Christmas to all! I'm far from being an active around NeoGAF as a whole but you can be pretty sure that I'm lurking around SteamGAF

and sometimes AnimeGAF\MangaGAF\SonicGAF

.

That being said, this is an amazing community, there are many things that I discover only by reading some posts around here. So, I just wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to you all!

Yup my vote remains Option 5.

Is that also DOA?

 

[Tektonic]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I always saw a Modbot post as being like a competition*

the * meaning "no purchase necessary". Sure we can use NOLURKERS, but once we start worry about MEGANOLURKERS or NONOLURKERS or DEATHTOLURKERS, haven't we kind of missed the point of Modbot?

If you only want the best of the best, just do what Shadownet did with his Batman/Joker contest, or that other poster (apologies for forgetting) did with the drawings of orange juice.

Actually, maybe don't do that. Some of those pictures were horrifying.

 

[Chariot]

As I said, I actually do non-mod bot raffles more often than I do mod bot ones. I usually ask people to make dips and then I choose who I love the most out of them. I also asked at least once for waifus and husbandos.

Nothing, nothing at all, just keep walking.

I like option 5, maybe with STEAM next to the logo on the bottom bar.

 

[someguyinahat]

Yeah it was pretty fun even if I didn't win.

Had I realized the winner would be chosen based on art skill, I might have spent more time than I did and got better than last place. Then again, I've always drawn like a fourth-grader so probably not.

I already left a small message on my Activity feed for the people on my friends list a couple of hours ago but might as well leave something similar in here.

I honestly hope that everyone can have a good day weather you are celebrating the Holiday/Christmas season or not. Hope you can all have a hot meal, some memories to share and I hope you can be with your loved ones from family members, lovers and close friends. SteamGAF has been a house for me for quite some time. It's a great place to discuss a lot of themes regarding this hobby of ours and I feel quite lucky to have you all every time I decide to talk about a certain game. For the last years I've met some incredible people, many with different ways of thinking or even different ways of engaging life. It's funny, because while I don't exactly know you all I... feel I know quite a few members, more than the name or the avatar and this is what the community is all about.

I'm not going to lie, I felt a bit emotional when time was not kind to me and I had to be away from SteamGAF (and GAF in general) and when I got some time it felt very warm to the heart to see the same friendly "faces" I've met along this years saying "welcome". This is a great community and I truly respect every GAFfer. I just wanted to thank you all for all the help, the kindness, the conversations about everything. I hope I helped you out when you were in need of help, I hope you can forgive me if I let you down somehow, I hope you don't hate me simply because you don't like me or the way I talk. I am incredibly lucky because all those years I learned what really, really matters in life, just like the people I live everyday, my lovers, my friends, my family, you all also made a positive impact on my life, for good. I thank you all for your patience and friendship, for all the laugh and silly moments. There's so many different people in here, yet, I feel most of us learned something from each other. I know this might sound really lame for many, others will simply put me on ignore but I have never given up on building a better community, on having a place that is friendly and can welcome anyone because that is what really matters in here, to have fun and respect each other. I'm blessed for having the chance to talk with you all and I hope you know this. Thank you all for everything, honestly. :')

Then reality hit.

Although I really wish NOLURKER's count was increased, or at the very least had several configurable post-count options.

Yeah, well. Dumb idea with a lot of flaws, we talked about this and I see that I was wrong. And no, I didn't block all beautiful and charismatic people - you are all very beautiful <3

Lies. Turfster isn't beautiful. Atleast not his crab-people claw.

If there are no countries listed, there shouldn't be any restrictions. It's a known workaround where even though a 4 pack itself might be regionlocked, after activation, the 3 copies that the 4 pack generates are not region locked in any way, though they might sport that red angry message claiming it is.
