Responded to the survey. I just want a good Modern Sonic game, man.

I'm still waiting for NotLessOrEqual to upload the background he used so I can experiment with it.

@NotLessOrEqual Do you mind uploading the file you used to make the banner? I'll go ahead and attempt to add it since I think most of us are in agreement that it looks good and since we're at the eve of Forces's release.

Let's not act flustered. We got time.

Man, I wouldn't even care if we had that for the rest of the year. That background just looks so sick that we need that lol.

I had my doubts but that actually looks fantastic. Nice job.

@Myself I wouldn't have so much of a problem with it had you guys not changed the background six or so times this year. Besides, a new game is fairly relevant for maybe a month or so. If you really wanted to, you guys could hypothetically have a Forces background for November and switch to a holiday-themed background for December.

The issue with that, however, like I said, is that you guys refuse to leave the background alone. It's barely been a month since the last background change. You're exhausting the visitors and editors of the site by constantly changing the background, scrambling to find an identity for this site.

My answer is still no.

No.

The background has been changed at least six times this year alone. That's not healthy. It's too exhausting for anyone to actually get comfortable with a background here this year because you guys keep insisting that it must be changed for a miniscule event. Changing the background to a game that will only be relevant for about a month is not a good idea whatsoever. It will be dated.

Besides, haven't you guys tampered with the background enough as is? Leave it alone, geez.

You're about a week late, bucko.

Wonder what Infinite's red energy burst thing was. We saw a glimpse of it in a Japanese content trailer, perhaps given he's wearing what looks like a Phantom Ruby knockoff (the prototype as people have presumed). Infinite keeps becoming more elusive with each thing that's revealed about him.

There was an issue with one of our top editors about a year ago constantly plagiarizing information from Mobius Encyclopedia and not using correct templates to inform the reader that the article they're reading was stolen word-for-word from that wiki, so if this problem continues to persist once IDW Sonic starts rolling around, I might help out, because nothing makes me more sick than plagiarism.

Glad to see Adam Bryce Thomas behind this comic.

Haven't seen a single claim about that. Probably not true.

Sonic Adventure 3 is never going to happen, end of discussion. Let's be actually, legitimate real here folks.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

SOLARIS HAS BLESSED US

I took a day away from the matter to be recollect my thoughts and not be fueled by the fire, so I apologize for not responding quickly as I should have.

To answer your point. I do think I am in the wrong for not seeing any of the discussion posts about it, but can you really blame me? The discussions feature isn't really that friendly nor convenient to use, but maybe that's because I've been using the wiki since the days of forum posts. I still do think someone should have informed me, but I do not pin the blame on anyone, but rather than me, once again.

The background changing, though, I do believe someone should have informed all of the administrators, regardless whether they were active or not, to join in on the conversation. I'm not saying you need "the approval of all or specific admins for a background to be set", I'm saying it would have helped gather a larger, more diverse opinion on what the background could have been, instead of using the opinion of only a handful of admins and several other users. It does not matter whether asking someone to help contribute to a *major* wiki changing event is in the rules, it's common courtesy. So, if I were you, or anyone reading this, next time you guys do a background change, let every administrator know via their message wall. There's only ten of us, it should not be too much of a hassle.

As for the background, I suggest, as I said, leave it as it is, and stray away from using a Forces-related background, for reasons I've stated on my last post.

It does not matter that you didn't let any of the other administrators know you were changing the background, it's that you *failed* to inform anyone over a serious site discussion. Changing the background is an important decision and just because I didn't see it does not excuse any of you involved of failing to inform me with a simple message on my message wall. I'm sure it would have taken a shorter amount of time to inform the current administrators than to make a background, now would it?

As for me, I would strongly advise not making a Forces-related background due to the sheer fact that we have already changed the background four times in the past three months. It is also not a wise move to decorate a wiki background based on a game that will be irrelevant come a month after release. I suggested an idea similar to this back when Lost World was nearing release and it was shut down for the reasons I just listed. It is words that have always struck me about making backgrounds based on new released games that has lead me to come to this thought process.

I was never informed whatsoever about our background being changed, which, for a site so dead-set on community consensus, really doesn't look good on any of you who were involved and failing to inform the administrators, you know, the ones who change the background.

I partially blame the discussions feature for being so alienating to anyone on the wiki, but one of you could have at least brought it up to my attention, especially considering that this is, what, the fourth time the background's been changed since Mania was released.
