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.

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?

Put "Zach rules" with my avatar behind it.

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.
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.

Very good, krazzi! That's a great way to sum up Zach week. It's just so... Zachy.

Re: 2006
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".
