Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

So here is the answer of MrShoe about the removal of Invisible portals:
Dear Processor
Thank you for sending in your concerns. We always appreciate feedback or comments.
I agree with you that the game could be optimized, and that is certainly something we are aware of.
About banning and bots, you should read the Terms & Conditions we are releasing later today,which will explain our thoughts on that. Essentially , we like bots, and we will warn people before banning them.Regarding the invisible portals.
I think we can all agree that invisible portals are an exploit or hack. Some builders have used this to make great worlds, others to make annoying worlds that did not make sense.
And since it only a graphical adjustment, and it would not break any gameplay, we did not see any reason to keep them.But many people have been contacting me about this, asking to bring them back.
So I propose a challenge:Convince us that invisible portals are worth keeping.
By the end of the Zombie theme, which is 20th of February , you, the community will send me an email with links to 10 worlds which makes full use of the invisible portals to make awesome worlds.
I expect the worlds to be super-fun to play and be in tune with the zombie-theme. At the same time, each world must also contain something that is not typical zombie like, but which has been made to fit with the zombie-theme. For example a cake with rotten flesh, or a zombie-catwalk. Preferably something cute turned evil.Based on those worlds, we will reevaluate our opinion on invisible portals.
Respectfully,
MrShoe and the rest of the EE-team.
Invisible portals are back for a temporarily time - until 20th of February. To keep Yo!Scroll and invisible portals stay you must help us!
You must create a zombie themed level that uses invisible portals. The quality of the worlds matter, try to figure out original stuff: Maps with a story behind will turn out awesome, but the casual adventure maps that contain art and minis are helpful too. Just make sure you don't use the portals as normal ones, be original as much as you can! Remember that our goal is to show that the game NEEDS invisible portals!
On 20th of February, I will be sending an Email to MrShoe, with the list of all worlds you have submitted.
Thanks for all your support guys!
If this succeeds, we will win a lot of trust in mods. If this fails, we will lose a lot of respect.
Now go and create your worlds.P.S.: Finding a partner or a group will help you a lot too!

I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

"others to make annoying worlds that did not make sense. "
Good. Because 95% of the worlds in EE is annoying worlds. There will always be people that will make annoying worlds. And some people that make good worlds. So even if they would add the invisible portals back, there will always be bad or good worlds. So that makes no sense to me.

zombie theme
yay i always wanted zombie smiley
Well. Here's your chance, EE community.
You wanted them back.
So get them back.
He sent that letter to everyone, who emailed him..
Such a lazy shoe.
By the way, what is the zombie theme?
Offline
Zombie curse, zombie smiley, etc.
How is he lazy for sending the same reply? Do you want him to word the same reply differently for every time he's emailed? :L
We were lazy and emailed him the same email 100 times too!
Once the zombie pack is out, I would want you to create worlds that take advantage of the invisible portals.
Shoe is listening to us, don't disappoint him.

Probably the update he was going to release.
Also make a medium sized level which has a cave, you put invis portals to enterance and leads you to zombie apocalypse or something, if you need any fillers.
Oh also there was a slender man level or something, where the portals leaded you to random places. Invis portals could be used for that too. Change the theme to zombie.

Here's an idea anyone can copy:
A low gravity world with a theme of aliens running away from zombies. There could be wormholes that require invisible portals, invisible portal cannons ect.
Also, how are we supposed to convince him we need invisible portals simply by making a level with visible portals?
Offline
Maybe he'll give them back for level making and then ban them for good if the levels don't show.

Somes master1's world use invisible portals, like this one.
@Processor
I wrote him a totally different letter and still got the same answer..

I have updated the post, please read it again

This vaguely seems like Shoe's cruel twist on a contest.
Squad has some nice invisible levels, maybe we can ask him.
Yus let us earn them back..
Too bad I don't know how to make dem invisible stuff but I'm willing to help people who know how or can.
Filling work, idea's, art, mini's, everything...
Just pm me.
EDIT: unfortunately I'm in the middle of my exams...
So I might not be always online.

To create invsible portals, use the tool made by doh. I have put a link on the main post.

MIHBs dream and YoScroll are still (for a looong time) the most well designed maps with an unique approach.
If Shoe needs to be convinced he should just take a took at these maps - but I doubt he is doing anything like this.

Oh btw, put in: Slender <- made by Saintcool!
It's great for hide and seek or just playing the level and has over 9000 usage of invisible portals.
I've gained some respect for the Shoe man. We've all been complaining that he never listens, and now he gives us a perfectly good chance to get what we want from him. I think that the email letters are working rather well. Maybe we can repeat this process for other things, although that shouldn't even be necessary.
