The story behind it: I can't remember who said it... someone on the board, long ago, posted something like this, "We need a Ram Banner for the Board".
All the Admins at that time agreed... so we put our heads together and shared thoughts, it went something like this:
"I don't know how to do that. Where can we get one made? Does anyone have any artistic ability whatsoever?". We came up with nothing... EXCEPT.. in the meeting of minds we discovered one thing... "JamesJM has the least amount of pride... he's in charge".
So I opened up some computer program.. I forget which.. I was using a Windows computer then. The Banner above was the result. It was short-lived. VERY short-lived... and soon after started to quickly evolve.
I'm not sure how Shaky creates the current Banners - I think it's that he has a friend who has a friend who has a cousin who has a dentist who knows a pizza delivery guy who once shook hands with a manatee trainer who's mother once dated a Ringling Bros. clown who rented his basement to a guy who made banners.
I'm not sure of every detail. I'll let Shaky correct me should I happen to be mistaken on the process. - JamesJM
