In life all things must come to an end, and one thing that is a constant is change. People have come, and people have gone. New have taken there place, and some  come back. One day in the future a year or so. I will say to another collector "Did you see what Don wrote on the Discourse the other day" and the collector will say " You know, it hasn't been called the Discourse for over a year now" and I will say "It will always be the Discourse to me"
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
Things change over time.  The term "Discourse" and the one that preceded it, "AetherCards," are from a period in the past.  With the new ownership and new focus, a new brand name was appropriate - almost necessary, in fact.  As stated, it's been a year since the changing of the guard, and while the simple acts of posting and reading posts haven't changed, many other things about this place have, and as I see it, for the better.

I will have fond memories of this place as it was when I joined, before I was even a moderator, never mind an administrator - but look at what we've GAINED!

I noticed the Banner change yesterday around this time. Looks good, all Club proud. I like it. Can only do good things for the club too, having the name out there under the title. More members would be very nice. :)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Just throwing this out there...
 The joker icon should be larger.   I do not know how it looks on a bigger screen but on a tablet and a phone it would be unrecognizable if I did not already know what I was looking at.  It's a really nice brand image and should be a focal point for the forum and club alike.  Not trying to step on anyones toes, just making an observation.

You make a good point about the logo and the size. We will take a good look at how to use our club logo to best advantage.
