It makes TL unique, and since TL already carries a big enough name for itself, it doesn't need to worry about attracting new people through a pretty banner, but rather the community will attract people by itself.

I like it, but what is the story? Is it really just because nazgul liked it?

Well, from the perspective of a new user of the site, I did find the horses a bit odd when considering this is a SC site. In fact I wasn't so sure at first if I was even at the right site.. With that being said, I can care less if you changed them or kept them, If the horses have some type of rich history with TL then Id say keep them, if they just a web-site mascot so to speak, then perhaps it's time for a new one.LOL. Either way, Its all good.

I'm new, but to be 100% honest i seriously didn't actually know that there were horses up there rofl.

This is the first time i even noticed them. So for this new user atleast, it certainly didn't look bad, it just blended in nicely.

As someone said above though, it took me a while to realise if this was the right site, not because of the horses though.

I was more confused by the funky layout, usually banners down the left hand side link to articles and pages around the site, and there is a seperate link to the forums. So i spent atleast 5-10 minutes figuring out what was going on. (i'm probably just a bit slow though) :D

I honestly never realized there were some epic looking horses up there. I think I just read "Team Liquid" and started browsing. I need to be more observant. This explains how I get cheesed...

Would just look weird if it got changed, no problem with it. Reminds me of that kickass LOTR scene.

Can't believe so many people voted it really hurts TL lol. I think people who join a community based on some face value or banner are shallow anyway, and wouldn't contribute anything.

I used to hate that thing. Now Id go to war to defend it.

If you were going to change it at least keep it horses and snow/water themed.

Only thing that would be more epic would be a banner full of pink robot unicorns sparkling rainbows and glowing pink topic threads.

Keep this banner please

When I first came to TL I saw them and felt like I don't belong here, this place is too cool for me.

Wouldn't be so hard to make two themes and have them easy to choose between in ones profile page.

I would call for horse enforcement.

I don't care much about the horses. TL is so much more...

I would love if our banner came from inside the community though, and not by some Jim Warren.

Voted "Vital" but honestly I am more concerned with the general look of the site.

The design (and lightweightedness) is awesome! But the specific issue with the horsies is of more nostalgic "keep TL as it is"-feeling.
