New Banner

[Lightning]

I wondered if a new banner could be made for the forums as kind of a tribute to those who have lost their lives in the recent tornado outbreak in the south. I am sure that this is the deadliest outbreak in all of our lifetimes, since the tragic death toll continues to rise.

I think a red colored banner would be suitable. With the words "2011 Tornado Outbreak" on the bottom.

I don't think it's necessary.  Otherwise, special banners will be expected after every "major" severe weather event causing casualties, and then people will start arguing over what's "major" enough to warrant a banner in the first place.

I guess you are right. But I do have a question... was the logo red all this week? Or was it normal? (Haven't been online all week iirc).

I don't remember 100%, but I think I do remember seeing a red banner.  However, considering TWC was in alert mode, that makes sense.

But this is a horrific event. It goes beyond many tornado events of the past, even the "super outbreak" of 1974. It's a once in a thousand year event, considering the death toll. One was made for the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

That's for the Admins and Site Designers to decide, but i really would like to see it too.

Yeah me too, I mean after all, it's not everyday that you see 400+ deaths from tornadoes. It's a significant event.

That is true. It's up to them.

A design idea popped in my head just now for that subject. xD Buuuuut it's too late now. lol

I saw it just a couple of hours ago, but I also didn't bother to clear my cache and reset the page, so that could have been a figment of my computer's imagination.
