Gaming, technology talk, RPGing, and other interesting topics. Make your way over the the boards and post post post! Here is some of the things that Game Star's new owner(s) had to say about Game Star(http://www.gamestarzone.com) Game Star is a great place to hang out. It has a great community, a great look and great things to do. If you just wanna talk, head over to the General Board. In the general board, you can disscuss life, graphics, coding, entertainment, and play forum games. We also have boards dedicated to video games, as that was and is the focus of Game Star.

Well this version looks spanking!! Although I have a good suggestion for your next template. Try making the buttons fit the grad/ Hence bookmark and all those. Also maybe try transparent?
Anyways its off the hook mate!

The New Layout is pretty nice, nicer thatn the old one at least. I think the colors don't match up as well though. Also, I recomend finding a new wires tutorial, those are really choppy. Oh and the pixel fonts are a tad bit big. Overall nice though!
When you think of making V3 just tell me, I'd be happy to help!

Thanks. I can't figure out how to do it with the pen tool, but when I do I'll edit this banner. I have a bad habbit of making the pixel fonts to big (ask scorpion). I really like making these templates on my own or with the staff. Thankyou for the offer tho.

Pretty good, but like what |-Bennedetto-| said, the wires are a bit choppy. I would edit the category titles, too. Make the font much smaller, and edit the info center title. The background IS the font color, so you can barely see it. I like teh colors, everything matches up well!

From the old version this version is much better, Quite frankly I didn't register before because of the skin, it seemed a bit samey to some other things. But now its great, although the uncentered quick reply and some pixel text is a bit iffy, great work on the whole though.

I know lol. And it's not that great. But it does fill my craving for a banner that shows off my skill and that XDD is an awesome site.

Hey, your current banner ROCKS with this site theme. Looks like the headers/footers need work next though. Also... could I point something out thats a little..off-topic? In your signature... where it says the "XD DESIGN" to the left of "PROUD MEMBER" the X is basicaly an H the way its shown. Maby it could use a few pixels near the middle or corders to shape it better. It's a very miniscule thing, but still ~TY~ ~CRAZY~
