Entmoot, the board's new name

[bmilder]

What do you think of it? A bulletin board always sounds best if its name is like a "real" discussion area, and this is one of few Tolkien examples. I had also considered "The White Council," but apparently a board with that name already exists. The board was already green, so I'll be expanding the "forest" theme a little more, maybe some custom "reply" graphics or something :). Oh, and I made my first PSP6 graphic. Yay :). It looks kinda bad, but remember it's my first one. Is it good enough to replace the text "entmoot" at the top, do you think? <img src=http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/4689/images/Entmoot2.gif>

yeah, its good enough to replace the top :) EXCEPT on the bb, introduction to master tater...that one....well, theres a bit of a problem...

nice job, bmilder. I think that'll work. I like those fonts. But if I may offer a tiny bit of advice, make it smaller. Maybe about half that size. The way it is, it works fine if you have your screen resolution set at around 1024 x 768 or higher. But if I turned it down to 640 x 480, it would probably fill two thirds of the screen! (I do a fair amount of web design, so I have to keep stuff like that in mind)

I like the sound of that! Good choice!

Hey, It's better than Benjamin's Tolkien Board. I like it.

wats entmoot mean?

[Loopy]

dmaul, an entmoot is a gathering of Ents. Specifically, it was the council they held before storming Isengard

Pretty soon we'll have a much better banner. I'm gonna make a bunch in Photoshop and we can all talk about which ones we like more. If you want to contribute go right ahead and send your ideas to Ben or me.

I just made custom Add Reply and New Topic buttons. I'm so proud of myself :D.

[Ryan6233]

woo ben! :)

I've just added Tater's graphic, which he finally got around to getting to me. What do you think? (btw I made it about 75% of its original size and cropped it a little) I think it's pretty good :).

[anduin]

I just went over to alt.fan.tolkien and invited people there to come and join us, I hope we have some takers. In case we do, let's all put on our best behavior. ;)

[Darth Tater]

We have best behaviours? Anyways, what do you guys think of the graphic? (I made it while slacking off at school when I should have been working on a class project.)

[bmilder]

Go anduin! :) I think we've gotten a grand total of ONE new member from your ads :P. Tater, it's pretty good, except the JRR. looks a little odd, since you missed two periods... other than that it's great. :) Would you happen to have a graphic of that white tree in the background? I'd like it to replace the folder icons on the main page where new messages are.

[peregrin]

Sweet, Tater!! I think I just made a funny...no?...oh... :)_o

[anduin]

Make that two, peregrin and Freaksaus. Oh, oops, peregrin is me...OK just one. I never could get anduin to be a global user :( So I reregistered. Now I don't know which one to go by. Maybe I'll use peregrin for late night posts. Pippen was always fond of a pint of ale and a bit of Longbottom Leaf. :P

[Darth Tater]

D@amn punctuation!

[Gilthalion]

In the spirit of the week, as I troll through the old threads, I thought this one was kind of fun!

[anduin]

My gosh, I am a local user. No user pic and no sig. Man, I was a newbie! Seems I even had trouble registering.

BTW, I recently hit over 2000 posts....ALL at this board. :)
