^Yeah, who says it’s a blank wall? Wanna fight?

Mods, can we get a cleanup on aisle W? This thread is a trainwreck.

If only we had more than 1 active moderator in this subforum....

OI, I guess I couldn't see it because it is blending in with the wall.

Also, I see why this wall is that color, do you guys not notice the other two buildings that are literally the same color in the foreground?

If they painted that wall gray like the other side it will throw off the area.

^^^^^^^
Now that's what I call "a nice wall!"
In regards to the long, long process building this taken, what a long strange trip it's been---------I wonder how soon the remodeling starts.

Lol I'm going to buy you a beer when it finally happens.

R5Ryder · #**3667** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 8:08 PM**

Are they at least going to fill in the W on the top of the wall?

^ Who among us knows (other than Mr. Lenfest)? There's never been a rendering of that side. I'm not sure whether it would be a good idea or would highlight the bareness of the wall even more. Please just give the thing a mural or funky paint job (a coat of whitewash or equivalent need not apply).

I would love nothing more than this, but sadly i feel the wall is to high to paint in full, only the bottom sides cold get painted, and nobody would see that exept for thos in the tower on the other side. They might be able to drape a tarp over it but they'd have to anchor it somehow

arkitect13 · #**3670** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 8:41 PM**

But i could be wrong i dont know the mural limitations for the paint programs

PhillyDreamsReturns · #**3671** Posted **Mar 10, 2020, 8:46 PM**

From my desk on 15th I stare at this wall all day and I can tell you that they already did paint it a light (very light) gray color.

No, It's not. But our moderation staff is almost nonexistent, with the exception of Summers, who even still isn't on every day.

This has been a problem for awhile now.

This is inspiring. The mix of old and new is fantastic.

From what I've read before I thought you were supposed to be promoted to Mod

I was, and still am; the administration of this website is apparently also in shambles, and can’t be bothered to promote me to mod.

It’s been about a year now and I’ve held my tongue, but this has gone on far too long.

There is no reasonable height limit on paint.

Who owns this website and how is it financed?
