    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Website & Forums
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Slideshow for backgroud
    What are you suggesting:
    When you type ecocitycraft.com, you are presented with Video's mario castle build.

    I was wondering if you could make a cool transition type of thing where it flips through multiple different impressive builds on the server to show off the building spirit that we have.

    Some examples are like the giant compass build near spawn (built by Jdawger) or the legendary library in mn (by thomasku). There's a whole ton of cool builds out there and I thought it would be cool to show it off on the home page.

    I think a good way to do it would be to randomly select an image from a library and display it for like 2 seconds before switching onto the next at random.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Encourages the creators and others to keep creating amazing things while also improving the quality home screen.
    Also, when a new user enters the forums, they can be greeted by impressive creations on the server.
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:
    I'm pretty sure it can be done with simple html/css
    You're just flipping through images.
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    This will never be a thing as it would increase the page size / loading time, and would have a negative effect on SEO.
    Far too long for me to get into how SEO is impacted by page load times, but there is a reason we went with a landing page.
    If you're more interested in how SEO works and what impacts search engine indexing, hit up Google and do some reading. :p

    TL;DR - that page won't be touched.
