Move to change club avatar once a year
 
Yay or Nay to having that VR 8 replaced at the top left to a different picture/color every year (or 6 months)

I'm not saying pick a modded 8; just if you see a nice picture of a stock 8 every 6 months (cycling colors).

Just to keep the forum fresh I guess...

nvrfalter 04-02-2009 11:27 PM

yeah not a bad idea. would be cool to see a black 8 up there

Colorcode 04-03-2009 12:34 AM

yeah we need something fresssh.

Spinning Sushi 04-03-2009 12:35 AM

Sorry for the thread jack.

raleighRX8 04-03-2009 01:16 PM

Bunch of haters! haha:banghead:

nycgps 04-03-2009 03:04 PM

he is gone

esclate is just like hummer, it just looks tough.

Transam kid 01 04-03-2009 09:05 PM

I don't mind it. Come up with a new one that is better and then I'll be down for a change.

dozer 04-03-2009 09:09 PM

yeah i wanna see something new! :fruit:

DOMINION 04-03-2009 09:12 PM

^+1 we have had this kinda thread before but it never happen. Maybe some change is on the way :lol:

ramos1556 04-04-2009 02:05 AM

Please change it!
So here is my idea(don't know if it was mentioned???) We create a poll and pick the RX8 of the quater and set it in the site's avatar. It will give us members something to strive for!!! After all most of the members spend lots time in the site on daily basis. And this could also be our new section in the site "featured RX8 of the quater" with basic info and pics of the car, nothing fancy but highly visible for everybody that logs in the site!:uhh:

Rotr8 04-04-2009 06:56 PM

Great Idea... Even if its the same 'official' Mazda pics(like the one above,) that would be great,,, heres a couple more from that shoot... and some other official Mazda media, I wouldn't even mind an 09 since ya know its 09

RxDoogone 04-04-2009 07:36 PM

we should make this a competition...see how can select
or make the best avatar for the site... even if its a members
own 8.. mods have final votes???

Rotr8 04-04-2009 08:22 PM

Nope voting system for members cars never works, its been tried for Car Of The Month about 6-7 times over the past five years,,, never works,,,
Just stick with the official stuff and itt'll be fine...

Ross_Dawg 04-05-2009 05:00 AM

that's what I was thinking as well. No modified 8's, just a plain stock picture to replace the VR. Good idea above^; just substitute in a Mazda ad pic

jones75254 04-05-2009 10:42 AM

I like the R3 with the headlights on cruisin through the canyons. Im not a fan of a BONE stock (no spoiler, appearance pckg) "series 1" RX-8 being the avatar.

Shinka_MJR 04-06-2009 03:21 PM

https://img219.imageshack.us/img219/...age46499b1.jpg

winner! (imho)

blackenedwings 04-06-2009 03:37 PM

Agreed Shinka MJR, that is a nice pic. I definitely think the banner should be a 2009, preferably an R3, and black or blue.

Ross_Dawg 04-06-2009 03:49 PM

that looks awesome, now just have it cropped to fit the original avatar size :)

Rotr8 04-06-2009 08:10 PM

My favorite.... is the first... looks sharp with nice contrast....not the right proportions but you get the idea I can chang ethe dimensions later...

I can do more but its now time for the NCAA final

nvrfalter 04-06-2009 10:12 PM

i'd prefer a BMC - before minor change 8. 04-08

Rotr8 04-06-2009 10:33 PM

bmc???

carbonRX8 04-06-2009 10:37 PM

on the topic of the thread.

No.


VR pwns all.

Get over it.

nvrfalter 04-06-2009 10:44 PM

japanparts calls the 04-07 the rx-8 "bmc" or "before minor change" haha and i think its interesting

@ carbon- No.

Ross_Dawg 04-07-2009 12:04 AM

^ I love that second pic! That would look so sweet

05rex8 04-07-2009 12:10 AM

J03K1LLARX8 04-07-2009 11:25 AM

anything new will be an improvement. and it should change every 2 months to keep this place fresh and not boring.

lesper4 04-07-2009 02:47 PM

i dont mind the change it does look good but i think 6-12 month will be fine. or maybe change it for the holidays like yahoo does?

I wish the last 3 pics werent so damn blurry; the top two seem to have much higher res. and therefore I like them the best.

The first pic is teh sex

Great job Rotr8!

That's not going to help...we need a new car...

And all the pics are "nice"... but why are all of that plastic front moustache? How about a 'hini pic instead...not so offensive? ..and VR of course :lol:

Rotr8 04-07-2009 08:11 PM

Ill pick up the marketing booklet the next time Im at the dealership and hopefully theu have soem rear 3/4 shots,,, but as of now thats the only 'official' shoots I can find,,, And yea the blurriness can be fixed, these are just feelers...

nvrfalter 04-07-2009 08:49 PM

yeah i really hate that moustache

Rotr8 04-07-2009 09:25 PM

thats not my fault:spank:

Maybe I am evil, but that Escalade driver got what was coming to him. Every SUV I see is driven by some asshole who thinks they are 'God of the Street, move out of the way or be damned!'

Hope your 8 RIP.

Back onto topic... +1 for changing it up.

chiketkd 04-08-2009 02:22 PM

Sweet sex! Those look hot. Nice work. :)

I voted to change it - I personally don't care if it's every year, but it's been the same old pic for years now...

Rotr8 04-12-2009 08:14 AM

Any input from the Mods???? good, bad, or indifferent????

Atilla 04-12-2009 09:16 PM

Rotr8: ANY of those suggestions would be BADASS IMHO :yesnod:

Ross_Dawg 04-13-2009 03:39 PM

sooo... any of the mods feel like copy + pasting?

Rotr8 04-16-2009 09:44 PM

c'mon admins lets get this movin....

syntheticdarkness 04-16-2009 10:45 PM

+1 for change. Also what about like an animated intro with an 8 before it goes to the main threads kinda like the screen saver from mazda just not as long unless you add a skip intro button.

Ross_Dawg 04-16-2009 10:50 PM

sounds like waaayyyy too much work, and a PITA when logging in (even with a skip button)

syntheticdarkness 04-16-2009 10:58 PM

Shouldn't be to much work, I've done animation when I took computers in school, plus it could be kinda like a photo slide show instead of animation. Just depends on how it would be done that way it wouldn't be a PITA, but just changing the avatar would be just as good.

Ace of Spade757 04-17-2009 12:12 AM

Change would be good. But instead of choosing one color, why not just get a bunch of 8's from people on the board in a row somewhere when you meet up and take a picture? Someone can photoshop it to make it look super smexy then change it every other month or so. That way it'll always change, no one can complain that their favorite color isn't there, and people can show off every once in a while. Although it would be kinda hard to choose who would be in the picture....

Ross_Dawg 04-17-2009 12:13 AM

which is why having a stock 8 would solve that problem haha
