The squid seems rather rediculous.....does it actually stand for anything?

The first one

or the revised "blah" one

Also,I would prefer somehting that doesn't noticably increse the load time. Some of us have 56k's. Posted Image

The squid one is actually smaller than the current one. The first one I made is about the same size (very slightly larger). All the other ones are significantly bigger.

If it's going to be the squid, at least make it brighter. It looks like a fish on my computer. I have to turn the brightness on the monitor up all the way to see that there are tentacles.

You, my friend, need to calibrate your monitor. The tentacles are very apparent and quite bright on my computers.

It could be because I have the contrast turned to the maximum, but I don't have a problem with most other stuff.

I will tally the votes. We are still waiting for some people (I think) but here is how it stands so far:
Squid: 6
Crazed Drunkard: 1**
Blah: .5***
The First One: .5***
Ferazel's wand: 1

Notes:
**Carinae did say his first choice, so Crazed Drunkard gets 1.
***The Journalist voted for 2 without saying which one is his first choice, so they get .5 each.

EDIT: Squid changed from 5 to 6 for Zortrium's vote
EDIT: Squid changed from 6 to 7 for Pufer's vote
EDIT: Squid changed from 7 to 6 because dude3 made his vote clear

1. That was off-topic and doens't belong in this thread.
2. At least you didn't make a seperate thread for this.

But mostly, please refrain from making these posts in general. We'll know you're back when you resuming posting.

Let's not continue this conversation, and try to stay on topic now. Posted Image

Of course it does, it represents one of my random, off-hand comments, yet it also somehow sums up the current state of affairs here (it is also quite pleasing to the eye). I think that it is every bit as relevant as the "captain watching the demise of his fleet" banner at the B&B.

My vote goes, most enthusiastically, for the squid banner!

My contrast is all the way up, and my brightness is all the way down, and it's fine here. Your monitor must be having issues.

This topic is going a little of topic. I need to push it back. The voting period is only going to last another 9 hours 19 minutes (or nothing will ever change). I think everyone has voted but the moderators, so squid is the unofficial winner.

I never voted for the squid. Put my vote down for the Ferazel's Wand banner.

How does that make it relevant to the current spirit/characteristics of the B&B? I think you see my point now.

Sorry for the squid not working for a few days there -- my webhost was down.

I contacted andrew about it, and the squid should be up soon as the official banner.
