Nearly two months ago I gave you guys something awesome, and promised you something nearly just as awesome. Naturally, the epic thing that I gave you was the new XF 3.0 style, along with the ability to submit your own banners (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12684). We started out with only eight banners that some of the staff members just threw together quickly; now there are nearly fifty banners total, thanks to you guys.

On to the second portion of that first sentence, the promise. I told you (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12683) that we would have a vote, to determine the best banner. And the creator of that banner would not only receive some awesome prizes, but also get immortalized by having their banner be continually shown on the frontpage.

Well, here it is. The vote. All you need to do is reply with your five favorite banners. No explanation required for each one, or anything of the sort, just to keep things simple. Just post.

Similar to how this contest got posted, I'll close the vote whenever I get around to it. So there :p

And now, for your viewing and voting pleasure........

The Banners

My question is whether you can vote for your own. Because I did. If that's not allowed, I'll change my vote.

Yep, you can vote for your own. If you submitted 5 banners and REALLY think that they're the best 5, have at it. But if people don't agree with you, it really won't do you any good, and your vote really ends up meaning nothing.

I submitted about 5 banners, and to be honest, I dont like any of mine.
I know we can choose 5 banners to vote for, but this forklift banner is my personal favorite.
Great job MNM

These are my other 4 choices

Just to be a little bit more clear... In order to not skew the votes in any way, you must vote for 5 banners, no more, no less, otherwise your votes will not be counted.

I can't honestly say I want the banners to ever stop rotating, or that I ever want people to stop making banners.

Forklift isn't too bad for symbolism, honestly. It's construction equipment, and we build. I'm honestly relieved it's not the waffle...

I liked it because it shows we're chill and laid back and like to lol

Although I'm happy I won I'm also happy that those crappy posters didn't.

Also null how did you work the voting? Was every vote worth 1 no matter the order of banners?

I would of had people order their 5 favorite then tally it like this

Vote 1x5 points
Vote 2x4 points
Vote 3x3 points
Vote 4x2 points
Vote 5x1 points

Idk why it matters though. Just excitedly blabbering I guess.
