I know running the boards and moderating at the same time can be quite the load... and I know it is absolutely impossible for you to do that and still have time to work with that pain-staikingly annoying Paint Shop, so i took it upon my self to give this board a eye catching crazy cool banner (sure I embellished a little ) its okay if you dont want to use it or anything... just reply if you wanna see what I worked out.. P.S. um i also need your premision to use your artwork in the banner... i'm making two diffrent ones just in case and I wanna use your fanart...

Oh, cool! Well, show me what you did, first. :>
And actually, it´s not so difficult to administrate a forum. Especially when the members are such nice people. XD But I could never decide what the banner should look like...

Good idea, if I don't like yours I may try and make one myself. I've done stuff like that or other sites I've administrated or moderated 'n stuff. n_n

oh and i wonder if it would be okay to use a quote from Storm Thief (since its the frist CW book i read) into it. I am planning to use a quote when that statue guy (sorry the name escapes me) tells Moa and Rail about the Chaos engine.

His name sounded like Benjes Fringes or something like that. XP He always rememinded me of Benjamin Franklin. EDIT: It was Benejes Frine. I like "Fringes" better, though.

Wasn't it "together we will shall rebuild this world" or something like that?

Not to pick holes in your banner, but since our name is 'The Crooked Lanes', wouldn't a quote from The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray be more fitting? Just since if it has a picture of Moa and a quote from Storm Thief it's a bit ST-centric.

@ shy: That´s the same problem I have. XD I mean, the Crooked Lanes is from Alaizabel, that´s true. But it still is more like a Chris Wooding-forum... Maybe just using the forum´s name The Crooked Lanes and then using some rockin´ font for it? Let´s collect ideas and banners and then decide what to do.
Though I cannot think of anything today. Ugh, to hell with my imagination. I blame a tea-less breakfast. ;_;

I'd hestitate with using a direct quote. If you do, definitely be sure to credit Chris Wooding, like at the bottom of the banner or wherever the quote is, after it, write "Chris Wooding; Storm Thief" or something similar so it is totally obvious that he is the one who wrote the quote.
Just being overly-cautious. I'd hate to see the site shut down for copyright infringement. >_<
But yeah, this isn't a "Storm Thief" only forum, so. I still like the idea of a banner, but a lot of people haven't even read Storm Thief yet. Of course, it's impossible to use a book that all fans of CW have read...gah, my brain hurts.

I'd go for a montage of things from lots of the books, but with maybe a leaning towards and Alaizabel theme just 'cause it matches the name and i'm a bit OCD about stuff like that.
Personally, I'd love to have one for each book/series and use them in a cycle, but that would be tons of work, ne?

Don't worry about it, use a quote of mine for the banner if you like, and you don't need to credit me (since it's obviously from the book anyway). Nobody's going to sue you... ... much
