WTF is up with the new Can.com logo?!

[Psycho4Bud]

the avatar of some girl getting shot in the head, lots of jokes about beating up your girlfriend to show her who's boss, lilttle punks trying to grow in their parents' house and putting the family in danger, scavengers bragging about the crop they stole, kids talking about how they have to carry a gun to pick up their weed

If I were to see this avatar I'd personally erase it. Next, the rest of what you speak of here would be a bannable offense if it was noticed.......just so much we can cover but we try.

karmaxul/gandor/harmony:

karmaxul.........every time you create an account and it's found ALL posts and threads will be deleted. I did it before on harmony, just did it on gandor, and will be checking out the I.P. on a daily till you decide to get a clue. If you really feel like wasting your time........I'll keep on banning and deleting.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

I'm 28. Still young but mature enough to know when it's time to throw in the towel and let the kids do their thing. I guess it's back to my local flesh-and-blood growing community. I really have enjoyed participating in the forums but the fact that some things have really rubbed me the wrong way- like the skull, the avatar of some girl getting shot in the head, lots of jokes about beating up your girlfriend to show her who's boss, lilttle punks trying to grow in their parents' house and putting the family in danger, scavengers bragging about the crop they stole, kids talking about how they have to carry a gun to pick up their weed, and all that crap that I find dishonorable... forget it. I don't WANT to be bad-ass. I want to be able to grow openly within the confines of revised legislation. Does it seem that Sundance is making more money with cannabis being illegal than they would if it were decriminalized?

If you can see it from this perspective, StinkyAttic, the reasons you listed above are precisely why you should stay. The way I see it, they're why those of us who don't exhibit the punk factor should be eager to stick it out here. Because we're the faction that offsets that other one. That shows the world cannabis supporters/users truly are smart and peaceful adults who have good sense. And because we need as many of us as we can get, including you.

Yep, the skull rubs many of us the wrong way. But it will change in time. Sundance has already said so. And I don't think he'd have said that if it weren't true.

I personally would miss the heck out of you if you left!

I appreciate the support and sincerely hope that Sundance will come around to a website design that is as inoffensive and CLASSY as the leaf background was. It's tough to look like a peaceful person posting beneath a logo with connotations of violence.

I do like the new home page, i find the links to be infomative and interesting... something else to look at... but the logo.. is a woopsidaisy!

allow me to elaborate with photoshop.
this is what i percieve as apropriate logos.

I lost my internet... I agree it is better to stay and try and change opinion and and attempt to set our disturbed youth on a better path...

It's not like the skull is inappropriate; it's more like what is the significance of it? I don't really care either way - but I don't really like the skull either....but it's not THAT bad!

Think of it from the point of view of a medical user with a terminal illness...then it seems VERY inappropriate.

Like I said in a similar thread in the lounge... It looks like a doodle in a 16yr olds notebook. It makes the site look like a joke...

When I saw the new logo I thought it was juvenile but I'm new here and consider myself like a guest at someone else's house...not my place to criticize the decor. But I can understand how people who have put in a lot of time and energy into these forums can personalize it and become resistant to change.

Some people think I don't like change. I like changes fine if they go my way. An error at the bank in my favor, I'm cool with...it's when they don't go my way that I dislike change.

I feel badly that a few members whose opinions & insights I value greatly either have left or may leave. They have both been helpful to me and I wish them well...I know they will continue to help others along the way.

It's not change that hurts, its the resistance to change that causes problems....we've all heard that and it's true.
