Banner Theme Suggestions

Posted a voting poll for the Oct theme, then forgot all threads in that section need to be approved.
I thought October was supposed to have a Halloween theme.
Should be talking about November's at this point. I suggest something pertinent to Veteran's Day- parade scene, treaty signing (Armistice Day), etc

I've created a banner thread for October. waiting to be modified.
Any chance we can get the Founders to get together and decide what we can do for the site? I know life can get busy, but it feels like there aren't enough folks around here to push items like we used to have.

Ya I tried to post a vote for the theme to the Oct thread, but then forgot it had to be approved in that section & never saw it get published.
Technically I posted a banner for Sept, (Which didn't fit into the Aug theme) but it was basically a similar picture to what's up there now.

MB sexted me! He said he has vacation soon so hopefully he'll pop in..
Need to figure out where we want to go with the place. I'll be coming up with some stuff shortly.

Granted, I'm a new guy, but I find my posts sit at the top of threads for like 3-4, sometime 10 days before someone adds a response...
I was hoping there would be another contest. Maybe I can just grab the 2nd runner up from last year's contest and use that.
Okay, I just posted two. From now on if there is no contest I will just start using the banners from last years based upon the month we are in.
Posted! Love that HEMTT.
Hey I think this may work.
BTW I got photoshop back on my computer, so I will be working on this again.
If there's no contest, can't you just do an open call for banners? Then we can vote on those, or you just pick.
Or, like VideoViper reminds us, you could just post a list of themes and due dates if that's easier than remembering each month.

Any official themes for Feb, March April?
I don't get much free time these days so I'd like to work on these banners at the same time. Without worrying about which month is which theme.

Proposal:
February: FFA (free for all)
March: Army Force (soldiers, tanks, armor, jeeps, ATVs, etc)
April: forced perspective (use of the forced perspective technique)
May: star wars (figures, vehicles, etc)
June: rescue or under attack (helicopter rescue, ambrush rescue, under attack protection, etc.)
July: liberty or nationalism (independence, freedom, raising the flag, extreme nationalism, comrades, etc)
August: insurgency (bad boys, Taliban's, cobras, etc)
September: air force (airport, dogfight, bombing, helo deployment, just flying, paratroopers, etc)
October: bloody month (war wounds, psico killer, etc)
November: sea force (boats, sailors, subs, divers, etc)
December: Meeting (Christmas meeting, soldiers meeting, drugs/narcos meeting, etc)
Other month options:
Option 1: gi joe month
Option 2: another FFA
Option 3: sabotage
Those are some options

I like all of those ideas except for the November one simply because water that time year could be very cold or even frozen for a lot of members.
But that's not a problem, we can swap November theme with April if that works.
Maybe switch with a summer month? I thought your forced perspective "April fools" theme was pretty clever.
I'm good with Feb being a free for all
Blood will weight in when he gets back. :trollface:
couple of ideas I liked in the past.
Using Multiple toy lines.
forced perspective is good, but requires more participation than we currently have.
If no entries pick either a runner up from the year before or random poll of didn't win 2nd chance banners.
This is really one of the things I like about this sight & would love to get more participation.
