Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but I've always been curious about this: Where did the forum banners come from? Because every now and then I'll see "Made by so-and-so" down in a corner or something, and I can't figure out how they came to be there.

Thanks,

If you're talking about the cycling banners at the top, those are from a forum contest we had when the new forums went online.
(I Think that's when it was...might be wrong.)

Oh, you are going to pay for that one and I don't want to be around when you do.
