A fine gentleman by the name of Christopher Noble kindly donated his time and effort to create us a new banner and logo. Chis is a graphic artists that did this purely out of the goodness of his heart. He took the time to check out the community and get a feel for it so he could bring across the essence of the community in his design. He's very talented and I think he's got a bright future in graphic design.

Here's a little bit about him from his site:

Love the new banner. Thanks Chris.

showme

Did some one change it again, The front page is very differant, not the same as the pipe one but I see the pipe one on the sub-pages. I did just have a prob with my outer so that could be it but it wouldn't change the main page to a french like name off to the side about the type of BB board it is.. Its been a bad day for me LOL

It just came back to normal good looking page, I bet its the damn meds

very sharp, i like the way the way the pipe jumps out of the banner.

We'll be messing with the colors for a bit. Sometimes it doesn't work the way it's supposed to work so if it looks strange I'll try to get it back.

Classy,,,,,as expected.

One minor problem though, navigating around the board is considerably slower for me vs the old format. Might have something to do with my lousy dial up, in which case, I'll live with it.

All possible best regards to you.

Very nice Chris

The banner does look nice, but I have to tell you what I first saw. It must be the hunter in me because when I first looked, I saw the profile of a wingless bird (formerly native to New Zealand--Dodo/Kiwi) with one foot sticking in the bowl of each of the two pipes. I finally realized it was just smoke coming out of the pipes.

Being on dial-up, it does take longer to load. A suggestion--if the new banner was changed from 100dpi to 75dpi, it would load 3 times faster and look just as good.

Great looking banner.
