you only need 4 things, the city name, description, source and the banner itself. it's a long post b/c the banner itself has to have a certain size and because this forum is mainly about skyscrapers they like skylines that's all

Janub, very funny, unless you actually have better quality images of Somalia's coastal and inland cities, there is very little you can do other than post old quality images, while still creating interest. The stereotypical comments mean shit, for every dumbass like that there are hundreds who's interest is sparked in a positive way.

And what's this continues reference to other African cities whenever a Somali banner is posted? If you want to see Addis, go make a banner and submit it at the appropriate location.

So if an African guy don't vote 5*, just because he think that city doesn't deserve 5* will you also consider that as HATING??

NO, but if he actually comes in and tries to verbally destroy the city then yes.

Go to Page 1 of this topic, I've already demonstrated how easy it is to make a quality banner. Again, its just not good to present the country with low quality imagery, it just further ruins the image people had and that's probably not your objective.

It took me 5 seconds to make this from another image. Just pick a city you want to do next and I'll have a banner ready and meeting the requirements. I can make Mogadishu look like Tel Aviv with some cropping.

I think he was just trying to understand some of the touristic sites of that particular city.

Well I already told him "it's okay bruh, you made your point".

Janub if it was that easy; plenty of better images for Barawa would have been used, but they are copyrighted, or the source is unknown, and therefore they won't be accepted without "permission" from the image-owners.

A similar Merca banner has already been featured, and yes that was a great banner capturing the entire city. Yours is 942 x 242 pixles, the requirements are 719 x 123px. If you can find good quality images showing the cityscapes of Gondershe, Kismayu, Hargeisa, Bosaso etc or heritage sites like the Taleex Fortress, that aren't copyrighted, they are most definitely welcome.

I'm not going to apologise for taking the time to create a banner and submit it at the right place because you believe there are other African countries more deserving. It's like stating that a war-torn Morocco or Egypt would suddenly no longer have the right to showcase their many wonderful cities.

The banners are serving their purpose, and that's create interest, if one happens to be of low-quality, atleast they will find their way to better images.( or maybe its just me who google's a city when its on the frontpage)

I don't think many of the people who commented are haters, it's just a really bad picture of Somalia, sorry. Like janub said, there are much better pictures of Somalia. I'd make a banner if I knew how.

Half the time I don't even notice these banners. Lol, You guys are wasting your time worrying about these things.

Boring..

Once stability returns, we will see more pictures coming out from the great southern Somalia cities such as Baydhabo, Kismaayo and Beledweyne. I am certain they will make great banners

Janub is a Somali patriotic.
