I kinda hated the choices tbh. Since the people who vote don't know about the shows they just picked random icons? same went down with The Borgias, they picked like 4 icons of Cesare and Lucrezia when the show has many other characters and they got like 3 icons of the same person and I think 2 were mine. I dunno man, I don't like the fact that non-fans of the show select the icons for each section but whatevs.

really? I didn't know that's how they were chosen...

I really think G1 missed out on exposure in social media compared to the other gens so maybe that's why there's not as much fanart with them.

To be fair the moderator managers choose the final 5 icons out of 10 previously chosen by the moderators of each board Unfortunately they can't know all shows so I guess they pick icons based on graphic criteria more than subjects.


I would have loved a G1 icon and maybe a Naomily one since they're so iconic, and new members about to pick a Skins icon could want more than G3 or G2 to choose from. But that's it

Aren't the choices from a long time ago too? I guess it's been a done deal for awhile...

I mean but choosing a Minky icon against a Gen 1 icon? there were gen 1 icons available, and I remember a Naomily icon there too... Minky were important in S5 but Naomily was one of the most popular ships in 2 series... I am sure the mods picked 10 nice choices but the last 5 icons for the boards I visit were a bit random.

Even as a hardcore Minky shipper, I kinda agree on that one.
