Hey, graphically-inclined folks...we need some help.

Post by 5chn3ll » Sat Jan 04, 2020 4:16 pm

Anyone who has graphic design skills and is inclined to lend a hand: the time has come to overhaul the site, including the organization of forums to remove some of the front-page clutter. I'd really like a new header graphic, but the one at the top of the site right now represents the pinnacle of my graphic design skills (read: I suck).

If you've ever looked at that image and thought you could do better after a lobotomy and seventeen Natural Light Ices, I'd like to hear from you! Post up here - or, if you're being especially cruel, shoot a PM - so we can start a conversation about how to move the site theme from the early 90's to the late 90's or early aughts.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Well, it wouldn't look much worse. :D

The Wayback Machine still knows my shame :(

For 1997 that looks pretty good! The Internet never sleeps...and like an elephant never forgets.

Do you want the specs of the existing header? I can help with this stuff so long as it doesn't involve php.

I'd love to help, but graphic design skills are limited to making fun of forum posts. hahaha Dr. Stranglelove is more talented at this.

Super busy at work at the moment, but if I have free time, I'm more than happy to help.

Cheers brothas!

I vote this as the winner as it suitably represents our childish nature :lol:

I couldn't agree more and a childish nature, at times, ain't all bad!
