Oni has hired me to do some custom illustrations for the header backgrounds.
While I was working on that I was thinking about how much i dislike the header.
I have been a part of this forum for such a long time and would to see it be seriously successful.
I think all we would need is a few edits to the general layout and we could really attract new members and get this place popping.

Here is a quick mockup I did of what the header could look like.
I think rolling out an update like this along side a brand new set of custom ficons and userbars would really make this forum stand out.
(which i would do for free if Oni would listen to me and use my work   )

Let me know what you think about the design as well as any feedback of what you think would help the forum become active and awesome.
