There's endless opportunity to add a little(okay, A LOT) more variety :lol
Yeah ! It's us old farts who have the purchasing power, and we're being ignored :lol
Darned Ar.. eeeer kids :darnkids

:lol
You're right though, I think its a good idea :thumbsup
Maybe a few for those who went to older schools in a cave too :lol
Besides the classic sci-fi like BSG, Quantum Leap, Space 1999, Visitors etc etc, there are also other extremely popular ones like Magnum PI, A-Team, I Dream of Jeannie, Knight Rider, Addams Family etc.
Do we even have a Stargate, TNG, DS9, Farscape, Lost, James Bond etc headers ?
I would love to see all of those, Babylon 5, X-Files, Forbidden Planet, Metropolis, Buck Rogers, Last Starfighter, Twilight Zone, Krull, Willow, Neverending Story, King Kong, Silent Running, Alien Nation, The Black Hole, Lost in Space, They Live, Logan's Run, Commando Cody, Planet of the Apes, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Flash Gordon, Destination Moon, Batman('66, '89, TAS), Superman (George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, hell, even Dean Cain), Explorers, MST3K, Classic Doctor Who.....I could go on and on!
What about horror? Classic Universal, Hammer, all of the big 80s franchises like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Hellraiser, Child's Play...

I would gladly make a crap load of different headers. I have a lot of experience doing headers/banners and what have you someone just let me know of the required dimensions...
The biggest problem we have found is trying to get quality imagery from some of the older movies and shows that will work in the format we have.
Also keep in mind as you are adding many of these in that some of this not only comes down to quality photo availability but that we try to a certain degree to make sure that we have a relevant appearance and if we inject too much old school, especially if it isn't something that has a massive following, we can easily look dated.
I could certainly make our PSD template available to you, but keep in mind, we are pretty picky.

On a 'serious' note, maybe less time on the rotation (how long is it nowadays ?)
I'm picky myself too even if 95% gets tossed in the bin I'd still love to contribute
Could you send that template to me Art?
I will be honest, this statement did make me a little upset because to me, it echos the ridiculous trend in Hollywood where it's all about pleasing flavor of the week audience. I know that's not how you meant it but it did sting. I've seen the shift of focus in this place to try and reach as wide an audience as possible and that's great, but I also can't help but sometimes get that slight sense of "selling out" to draw the trendy "cosplayers". I try to keep these kinds of feelings to myself most of the time because, honestly, the hobby is changing and I don't always like what I see, but I know that a lot of it is here to stay and I just have to accept it. I guess it's the grumpy old man in me (as grumpy and old as a 26 year old can be :lol).
What it all really boils down to is it just makes me sad to see the old school stuff not being represented in favor of the trendy things that, while they might be entertaining, don't have the same kind of iconic staying power and influence that the older stuff has. At least in my opinion.
And I really do get it. You HAVE to stay relevant to a degree if anything just to keep the revenue coming so you can keep this place running. I just don't want to see the old stuff forgotten
NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!
Also, to completely contradict everything I just said, where the hell is the Firefly/Serenity header?!? :lol
For me it only changes when I refresh the page or jump to a popular franchise. Good thing about it is, if you don't want to look at a specific header just hit refresh. I can scroll through a dozen in a matter of seconds.
I thought your avatar with contradictory enough!
Damn kids and their hip hat music, mePhones and the Facespace!
Ugh. Is it still doing that? You should be getting a refresh on every page.
