Well, it looks like people are excited about the idea of designing the back room, so who am I to stop you? ;-) Here's the rules: 1) Reasonable page sizes. A lot of people still use modems. 30kb tops, and smaller than that would be very nice. 2) Page design should convey something to do with writing, literature, words - something to do with this forum. (Background images of Vicki in a temple with a sword doesn't seem quite appropriate here.) ;-) 3) No fancy coding. I don't want to break anything here. 4) Nothing that breaks TOS. No XXX images, etc. (Has to be said, as silly as that seems.) Please bear in mind that some people have vision problems, so please allow for good background/text contrast. Probably the easiest way to submit design ideas is to take a screen shot of the design and post it. If people don't like that idea, I could post the submissions in the backroom itself, but that will get cumbersome for me. (But if there is a big public outcry for it, I'll do it.) How long do people want to submit their entries? I'd like to say 1 week so I don't have to look at the barren walls too long. Would that work for everyone? If you have multiple design ideas, feel free to submit multiple times. This isn't an official contest. And of course you guys get to vote on which design to use!
