Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: 2006

2006 is a whole new year bringing a whole new series of difficult problems for the forum's members to solve. It also brings a new string of happiness and sadness.

So Happy New Year's, y'all!

By the way, the new updated banner is quite neat. smile

Re: 2006

One question - will that picture icon on the main banner of the forums stay on for the whole 2006 year, or will it be taken away soon? If so, when?

Re: 2006

Since you've changed the banner for Christmas and New Year, one idea would be that we change the banner on days festival days/special events (but maybe this is too like the Google banner).

Or we could have a weekly 'theme'... where we all decide on a random topic and decorate the banner with it. And the first theme could be 'Zach rules', where we feast, and worship and praise Zach all week long.

Re: 2006

Yes, lets! If someone wants to provide a graphic (tasteful, 190x50 in size) I can put it there. smile

What do we call Zach Week?

Re: 2006

It looks rather funny. "Zach Is Fun Forums", that means Zach is fun.

I would rather suggest changing the place where it says "Happy 2006!" to "Zach Week".

Re: 2006

LOL ! Also very good!

Perhaps "Zach is Zach Forum" ? No, best to leave the title alone, or visitors will get confused.

Re: 2006

Nice text there, though the color doesn't fully fit the banner as it's very dark.

I thought to put different colour to be more interesting. But I'll rerender it soon.

Re: 2006

Zach Week would be full of worship to me. It'd be summed up by "Awesome".
