i noticed that the blender3d forum does not have a forum moderator, maybe with the arival of blender 2.43 and a new wave of blender learners, it would be a good idea to appoint one.

also, whatever happened to picking a banner for the blender gallery/forum/whatever.  the blender gallery's image never seems to work and currently even with its popularity, there is such a bland welcoming to our gallery.  

any suggestions/ideas to making it more interesting/getting a moderator?
