Welcome to the New Neo Ark Cradle!

But we definitely have to think about the forum banner! May be make a contest-like-thread with new suggestions, like in Janime. As far as I remember, people used to like making forum banners. Especially those who use photoshop often.

I think that's definitely doable. The old NAC banner can be more or less fit into at least the default theme, but given how MyBB is more rectangular in terms of layout, a refitting might be a better idea. There's the matter of installed themes too, when we get down to it - they may or may not need their own headers.

Quick question. Is a visitor message system like we had on Janime an option or is that still a no go?

There's a plugin for it, so it's doable on paper - however, back when I tested it via XAMPP, it was rather buggy with one of the forum themes I liked. Which kind of crosses into nnngh category because custom fixing such things suck. My tech knowledge is limited especially when it comes to code (PHP, CSS) which means I'm kind of helpless with such matters.

On the other hand, that testing was done months ago so it's possible the issue is fixed now, or is fixable (i.e., someone posted on how to fix it). So I'll just need to check via XAMPP first.
