"It took you so long to get here! But at long last I can tell you that… The Princess must be in another castle. I’ve never met her. Are you sure she exists?"

Creepiest video game quote I've ever seen.
 
Hey, we got a canditate than ASF's first princess... - G'gratulation Sky...:bored:
 
well this is what i've heard from ignis. of course you have to take this info with a grain of salt, since there's no definitive answer, i'm just letting you know what i heard
Me- [MENTION=26]KingArturia[/MENTION]; i wasn't paying attention, so i don't know if you answered these questions, but would those ghost backgrounds be predetermined, or would we be able to choose our own images? and if so, would we be able to change them whenever, or have to wait a while to change them, like a username?

Ignis- Right now adding those backgrounds can only be done manually by users with back-end access (i.e. admins). Suffice to say that King was our first lab rat to see how the new feature would look. A more streamlined process is in the works, but I can't yet elaborate on the details except that it will likely be semi-automatic and not leave full discretion to users considering how prone it is to abuse.

Me- i'd like to ask what you mean by "semi-automatic" but i'm assuming the project is in very early stages, and even you're not completely sure. i was thinking it'd either be similar to how we replace our avatars/signatures, where you just upload the image, or probably a little more likely, where there's a selection for us to choose from


Ignis- The process of changing avatars/signatures is what I'd consider "automatic" as it requires zero input from the back end. Similarly, joining an open social group is also "automatic", as all you need to do is add yourself into the group. On the contrary, joining the staff roster, for example, is what I'd consider a "manual" process as it requires explicit intervention by us. A regular member can't just make herself a moderator without our hands in the matter.

Me- i didn't mean to imply that i thought you just didn't want to share details. it was only barely showed to some of us, so it should be obvious that the details aren't ironed out. i'm just trying to figure out as much as i can. i'm guessing the opacity effect will be automatic? and what do you think might be the max image size?

Ignis- Ah, no, I didn't say that because I thought you were making such an implication either. Take it as a roundabout way of saying "I'm not sure" because not even we ourselves have agreed on the details. For the time being, the opacity needs to be taken care of manually (i.e. the image itself needs to be semi-transparent already) because it's the easiest. I'm not sure yet whether it'll stay this way or we'll automate it through CSS or some other means. Images will likely need to be around 500x400 or less wide including the fadeout effect.

I've read those post as well :P and I know those from Staff channel already :P But to be honest like Iggy-sama said, its the fact that we know hardly any confirmed details that we can't really tell you guys too much because of that, too much is subject to change and we don't want to get your hopes up then end up letting you guys down, so we're very careful in terms of what information we let you guys know and what we don't. At this moment in time its probably best if you see Checku-sama around, ask him. Since he is the one who's overseeing this and we give suggestions, so he's probably the best person to ask about this right now, maybe he have some more planned ahead that he haven't revealed yet xD
