Can I change my Discord banner without the blessings of a Nitro subscription?
Alas, dear friend, the ability to alter thy profile banners is an exclusive realm reserved for the Nitro subscribers. Thus, to partake in this majestic feature, one must first acquire the full Nitro package for the sum of $9.99.
What Fate befalls thy Discord banner once the embers of thy Nitro subscription fade?
When the sands of time bring an end to thy membership, thy Discord banner shall be whisked away, reset to its default state. Should thou choose to once again embrace Nitro’s embrace, the task of setting thy profile banner shall fall upon thee anew.
Does Discord permit the usage of GIFs as Discord banners, a realm of infinite possibilities?
Indeed, Discord doth graciously bestow upon thee the power to select any GIF that tickles thy fancy, not only to grace thy banner but also thy noble profile picture. Embrace the whimsy, dear reader, and let thy digital realm shine with the light of GIFs.
