Topic: We have a new site mascot: Can we get rid of the armadillo now?

Posted under General

I see we have a new site mascot on the front page, by the wonderful artist E.C. Major. It looks great!

Since the "Posts, Comments, Tags, Wiki, etc." box is now semi-transparent, and because it can be moved around with the scroll bar, the box no longer covers Narse's armadillo's big wang. It's still the only mascot with explicit genitals right there on the front page.

Can we please get rid of him now, or at least cover him up again?

But seriously though, how much time do you actually spend on the splash page for it to be an issue either way?

I can understand if the he had issue with dongs all over a front page though *shrug*

I dunno, if I put 'e' in my browser it autofills the rest of e621.net/forum; most browsers if you bookmark, say, the posts page or the forum page, it'll autofill to that address. Every page has links to the other pages at the top, so to me the splash page has always been a little superfluous.

Yes, I know, but mine tends to randomize every time I visit. I'm here often, so whenever I type in e621.net/ on my browser, it takes me immediately to the splash page... which one in every seven visits or so features surprise armadillo cock.

I don't have an issue with it being cock, it's just that all of the other mascots are G-rated, this one's explicit, and there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent it from appearing on my splash page.

Hey folks -

I've asked Narse to see if he can come up with a wang-less Armadillo image for the mascot; once we have this, we can go ahead and make the homepage work-safe again. :)

Thanks

Step 1: Make a hole in a box.
Step 2: Put the box over his dick.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit. Also a christmas armadillo.

Am I the only one that likes the armadillo as it is?

All it takes is one person to ruin something for everyone.
I'd keep that in mind.

Stop being a drama queen and an ass. It is the correct thing to do on a splash page. The pic exists on e6 if you really wanna see it.

You telling people to stop being asses is all kinds of ironic.

At first I thought it was a joke but then I scrolled a bit left and now I'm like "Really!?", not that is a problem for me

We had a front page, huh

Yep, we do! ;D

Now that Varka said "wang", I'm thinking of what would be Vera without her wang :P

Here's an idea: can we get a "no mascot" option?

While I greatly enjoy the exact oppostie (alternating mascots) this sounds like something cool that can easily be implemented and not few people would like to have. ^_^

Why should a mascot that plenty of people like be removed just because it's explicit when the majority of this site is explicit anyway? Besides, there's a change mascot button anyway.

I agree, he doesn't quite fit with hexerade.
