Want to see your server's branding in the archive? Follow these steps to ensure your banner is compatible with classic and modern Hotline clients.

=== Technical Requirements ===
To maintain compatibility with Transaction 122 (Get Server Banner), all submissions must meet these specs:
* '''Dimensions:''' Exactly '''468 x 60''' pixels (Standard) or '''600 x 60''' pixels (Wide).
* '''Format:''' JPEG (.jpg) is preferred. Baseline (Standard) encoding only.
** ''Note: Do not use "Progressive" JPEGs; they appear as white boxes on 68k/PPC Macs.''
* '''File Size:''' Under '''50KB'''. Large banners cause lag during the login handshake.
* '''Transparency:''' Hotline does not support transparency in JPEGs. Use a solid background color (Black #000000 is recommended).

=== How to Submit ===
Currently, submissions are handled manually. Please provide the following:
# '''The Image File:''' Attach your .jpg or .gif.
# '''Server Name:''' The name of the server the banner belongs to.
# '''Historical Context:''' (Optional) Years the server was active and the primary focus (Files, Chat, Art).

=== Submission Template ===

<code>
Server Name: [Name]
