[–]SenrayChange the banner! 1067 ポイント1068 ポイント  (64子コメント)

The community has decided we don't want to idolize any persons, natural or corporate. With that in mind, it's time to change the banner, regardless of Valve's future actions.

[–]OffullSpecs/Imgur Here 353 ポイント354 ポイント  (34子コメント)

Hopefully this goes to the top. Tired of seeing "we're going to wait for them to make changes before we do anything about the banner."

Edit: We're at the top, so I might as well post this. Mods, once you change the banner, we don't want it reverted back if Valve changes their stance. No more idols! Things like this happen when you worship individuals and companies. They believe that they can screw you over and get away with it.

Edit 2:

CSS(mod) guy explaining why he's not changing the banner: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/33nrq7/what_do_we_have_to_do_to_change_this_sub_seriously/cqmykpb?context=3

Archived link

Here's one he can use: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/33xks1/if_were_no_longer_lead_by_one_man_then_perhaps_a/

Problem solved

Edit 3:

These guys made it look easy. Just read the conversation

Edit 4: I believe the banner was removed, but now it's back. It's probably getting removed soon idk. Probably should've archived the subreddit. Here's a thread that I made when I noticed a black background(I couldn't have been the only one to see that right?): https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/33ztx7/is_something_wrong_with_my_browser_or_is_the/ <--thread was removed as soon as I posted it. maybe it broke a rule or maybe it was my browser

inb4 banner policy is changed

I waited. I waited for Gabe to explain himself. And when I read his replies, I grabbed my pitchfork.

The Banner. Must. Change.

[–]EggheadDashAMD FX-8350, AMD R9 290., 16GB RAM 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep, I was with the mods on "let's wait for an official response" for the first two days. We got an official response and it wasn't satisfactory. Time for a banner change.

[–]i_em_a_humonfx 6300, r9 270x 114 ポイント115 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Honestly I think it was about we functioned without an idol, it was getting extremely weird. I could deal with the Gaben drawings, I could deal with the gaben inside stickers, But I drew the line at bed sheets. Its downright weird.

[–]CptSweetCheeksjr 51 ポイント52 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah, I was getting a little tired of it, but it was all in good fun... until the bed sheets happened, then it went from a little odd to creepy.

[–]ShallowBasketcaseCoolerMasterRace 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (2子コメント)

And my custom Gaben bodypillow just arrived from Amazon today...

I figured it was guaranteed karma! Damn you, Steam Workshop!!

[–]ToughActinInactioni5 3570k / 295x2 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It still is a karma gold mine, just mod the pillow and add a price tag.

[–]super_g_manhttp://steamcommunity.com/id/super_g_man/ 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What about my custom Gaben mural? Had it painted in my room last week.

[–]SpysixGOG Galaxy FTW 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Did... did people actually have Gaben bedsheets? I thought those were just photoshops for my sanity sake. Are people really that pathetic to being committed to a stupid joke?

[–]Mysterious_Fredi5-3570K, AMD Radeon 5770, 8GB RAM 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It could be photoshop but it looks pretty legit to me :/

[–]EggheadDashAMD FX-8350, AMD R9 290., 16GB RAM 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have to wonder what they're doing with those bedsheets now.

[–]redzilla500FREE THE MODS y580 i7 || gtx660m || 480GB SSD || 8GB RAM 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Burning them

[–]Red-Blue-Specs/Imgur Here 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The paid mods are gaben's revenge towards the bedsheets.

[–]MAD_ESP_UPINHERECore i7 4790k @ 4.0 GHz, GTX 970 ASUS STRIX 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was down-voted to hell for this exact sentiment, I appreciate your input on the matter!

[–]AkselmoSteam: Akselmo | i7-4770K 4,1ghz | 8GB DDR3 | GTX 780 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The Gaben thing was a joke anyway, like most stuff on this subreddit, but people love to take everything to the extreme here.

[–]DJFluffers115i5-4670k @ 4.0Ghz + 2x GTX 780 + 16gb DDR3-1600mhz RAM -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I like GabeN, and I think we should keep him. He's cool.

Plus, all the Hail GabeN! shit was, and is, fun. This is all for fun, it's not even serious, why do you want change in some joke forum on the internet?

[–]Phib1618steam:ghz_ghost/4690k GTX970 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Personally, I never really got into the PRAISE GABEN thing to begin with. I mean, I've said it jokingly, and I think that GabeN and Valve have done more for PC gaming than a lot of other companies, but I never actually worshipped him. I never even contemplated owning a GabeN shirt, framed picture, or bedsheets. I've never even used a wallpaper with GabeN on it.

You'd think that by the way people are reacting to this, they truly believed GabeN was some kind of deity. Maybe that's why the backlash is so big. It's always just been a joke to me, but I guess some people took it too seriously, so now they're let down because GabeN is actually human.

[–]test822 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was on the half-life/counter-strike/tfc train since back in like 1997 but when valve started that crate/key shit they lost even my buttlove. I don't get why people were still slobbing their knob up until now. valve have been straight up whores for a few years now.

I think the same but ppl in the PCMR sometimes are close minded, but that's how it started. Now they are evolving as how it should be, an open minded community.

[–]cyclobs1Intel i7 5960X | HD6990 900/1300 | DRR4 16GB 2400Mhz 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I just adblocked the image... Problem solved!

[–]OffullSpecs/Imgur Here 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just did it myself. I can see the PCMR guy sitting on a chair

[–]EggheadDashAMD FX-8350, AMD R9 290., 16GB RAM 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I personally like a variation of the "No Gods or Kings, Only Man" poster from Bioshock.

[–]Niglops_RoupSteam ID Here 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No GabeN or Consoles, Only PC.

[–]Aurelius921 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I really think Sir Alan Turing and Sir Tim Berners Lee should be on the new banner.

[–]Edward_Elgar 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ahh, a subreddit for British geniuses, I like the idea.

[–]neonKowcompoooter 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

While they both undoubtedly very cool and important to computing, I don't think they fit into the "PC's are the best platform for gaming" nature of the sub.

[–]DogtagIntel i7 3770k | Nvidia GTX680 SCII | 16GB Corsair Vengeance -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is a good idea. I like this idea.

[–]berkay2578berkay2578 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They won't take action since nearly all of the users are still posting and visiting the subreddit. Want them to do something? Unsubscribe like I did, download RES, press +dashboard. Don't post new texts, only comment and vote. They'll have to take action after that since a no posts mean dead subreddit.

[–]Mdogg2005mdogg 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't upvote this enough. We'll stop asking to change the banner when they change the fucking banner. Doesn't matter if tomorrow Valve says "Everyone will be refunded and mods will no longer be paid" (lmfao, right?) - the point is that we should not idolize him or Valve.

I'm not sure what it so hard for the mods to understand that regardless of the outcome on this mod bullshit, nobody wants Gabe in the banner anymore.

[–]Guthardwaldridchange the fucking banner 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

PCMasterRace's Official Stance on the banner:

More like PCMasterRace's mods' Official Stance on the banner. Jesus, no one wants this banner but the mods. It's not their sub, it's our sub.

[–]timetoreddit123Specs/Imgur Here 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. Not a healthy practice.

[–]Skullman7809InferiusPCMR 48 ポイント49 ポイント  (14子コメント)

"The Community" We would need an overwhelming Straw poll results to successfully say this. A few threads for 370K people does not indicate clear desire. But that being said, if we truly are the master race, we do not need to worship anyone. If anything, people should worship us.

[–]OffullSpecs/Imgur Here 53 ポイント54 ポイント  (11子コメント)

It's obviously a clear desire if no one's speaking up against the banner getting replaced. I have yet to see a thread or comment that says "keep the banner." Now I probably will in a reply.

I've seen so many threads make the front page that request for the banner to be changed. A large percent of users that voted supported the idea.

But that being said, if we truly are the master race, we do not need to worship anyone. If anything, people should worship us.

Agreed

[–]FlamboyantSquidYeah, I don't know about steam right now.... 52 ポイント53 ポイント  (3子コメント)

This is becoming less of a "circlejerk subbreddit" and more of a community. I like this idea of the people not worshiping a single figure that will eventually turn around and stab us in the back. cough GabeN cough

edit:missed a period :/

[–]Perkinz 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Might want to see a doctor about that.

I upvoted you

[–]nikolaibkx3 455 | 460 SE | 4GB DDR2 | M3A78-EM | OCZ 650W 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree but I think it's mostly because there are two groups, the ones that desire to change the banner and the ones who doesn't give a fuck if they change it or not.

[–]LordCrowemr_fantastic 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Eh, not 'us' but the machines, the future, the progress... the awesome entertaining system? Point is, it's cool for satirical purposes to display us as these gods among men, but it was always about the machines we use and not ourselves and it makes us sound megalomaniac when in actually I always got the idea that this sub is the opposite of that, we don't worship people with $5k battlestations, anyone who tried to act superior because of that was shot down, instead it was about the machines themselves, about the PC gaming. Let's not worship a living entity, but instead an idea, an idea of progress! Sounds good to me.

[–]OffullSpecs/Imgur Here 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Interesting point

We could use someone that thinks like you over at: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMRascended

[–]LordCrowemr_fantastic 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm not quite sure I understand the point of the sub...? There's no sidebar description or anything and it makes me think that it's somehow related to Project Ascension/ded.

[–]OffullSpecs/Imgur Here 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There will probably be a sidebar description soon

[–]jakeman77AMD FX-6300, Radeon R9 270X 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The problem is that if people were saying to keep the banner, it would be downvoted to shit, which would be why you're not seeing those posts.

I wholeheartedly agree though, we need a new banner.

[–]squidgy617 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

One thing we have to realize is that the reason you might not see anyone speaking up against it is because they either a) know they are going to get downvoted anyway or b) have already been downvoted and that's why you don't see it.

Top comments aren't really representative of an entire sub, it just tells you who's voice is being heard. I realize that more upvotes might mean more people agree, but not every user upvotes either. I think a poll is necessary.

No gods, no kings, only gamers.

[–]SardonnicusI7-5820k, 16GB DDR4, GTX980 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We need a slogan. Someone should "mod" the Nightswatch vows and make it about this entire situation. But i'm not paying for it on steam.

[–]Pattoe89 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The banner should NEVER have had Mr Newell on it. It was always a stupid idea. Idolisation of any person is stupid and has never solved anything.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[–]rindindin 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hear hear. Remove the top banner's image and change it to something else.

[–]LolFishFaili7 2770k @4ghz | AMD7970 | 16GB Ram -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's still GabeN for me.
