If I were working as a software tester, I'd report that as a usability bug.
In E-Comm, that real estate is crazy valuable.
Having a big empty space like that makes for a loss of impressions and loss of revenue.
From a usability perspective, a new user navigating to a page (like GOC) or using any WebApp will form an impression in their first 5 seconds that will influence their long term engagement with the page/platform/app.
A dead space like that is one of the first things a new person will see in their first 5 seconds that will leave them with a subtle impression of frustration, since there's a few hundred millisecond delay between when they can access the information they want as they swipe down below the fold to access the juicy content in the forums.
Most desktop users can forgive that, but mobile users are MUCH more easily influenced by those kinds of UX bugs given time, bandwidth, and visible real-estate constraints on their mobile devices.
I'd guess that most GOC traffic is search traffic (evident by the high count of "guest" access the page has), and if so, it's a pretty big deal (in terms of lost traffic and impressions) having a small usability bug like that.

I haven't caught the new series and my kids don't seem to really be into it... It'll be hard to top FIM, though.
In hindsight, my opinion of Vancouver and BC in general was very much swayed for the better knowing it was basically a show about British Columbia.

Here's a relevant suggestion for the header then (from https://imgur.com/gallery/RM5W4 includes ARs, etc):

What happened to the rest of the GOC challenge coins?
Here I am on the verge of 4000 (mostly asinine) posts, and all mention of the coins has been removed from the site.

The thread definitely still exists. Oddly enough, you’re the last one to post on it….

Where is that thread?
That one and the "where did you stick your sticker" thread have disappeared to me.

I think what’s happened is that the old giveaways section was removed for revamping at some point. I can still see it in my searches, but that section of the forum is currently invisible to general membership.

Except on a tablet. Then the logo covers up the "Welcome, username here" part.

I still have no idea what you guys are talking about, I don't see any logo at all and haven't in awhile. Is the logo an ad of some sort that my adblock is blocking?
First one is my computer, 2nd one is my phone:

^^ Same here.
Just a thin grey bar and no logo.
I was going to paste this yesterday but I don't have either a PrtScr button on this keyboard or an image editor on my Pi.
LOL
BTW - perfectly happy with the thin grey bar.

Results vary, depending on the browser and possible plugins or add-ons one might have installed. I get different results when switching between Brave, Firefox and Edge. It also differs from Linux laptop to Android phone, as well as from cell service to home service. If you use an ad-blocker, a pi-hole, different DNS servers, etc. you might...uhh, experience things differently.
