A month or two ago, some people were kind enough to prototype a potential mascot character for the site. Now that we're very stable in terms of both finance and userbase, I would really like to start personalizing things a bit more. Thus I'm opening this thread for people to discuss and propose new ideas of how to make this site more unique.
I'd also like to make this a more formalized process than just having people randomly suggest stuff, so here's a little structure;
If you are an artist and you're willing to make content for this site on a free or commissioned basis, either post here with some examples of your previous work/portfolio for public analysis, or send the details in private if you'd prefer anonymity.
In the past, a lot of work here has been done on a voluntary basis. That's cool, but I do like to reward people for their assistance, either financially or just with a perk of some kind so that other people here know they've been a major contributor. I want people to feel pride and accomplishment in helping us grow and distinguish the 'brand'.
Right now there are a few things I'd really like;
In addition to these things, there is an ongoing need for people with knowledge of CSS, HTML, web design and Xenforo's architecture in order to implement these things. Currently @Fucking YTs has been extraordinarily helpful in wrangling this forum, and I am incredibly grateful for his aid. However, having more than one person able to implement changes deeper than my very basic knowledge of HTML makes implementing changes and troubleshooting solutions to problems easier and faster, not to mention less stressful on each individual member.

Right now there are a few things I'd really like;
- A background collage. Remember the homeland's background? It seems stupid to NOT have something like that considering the hundreds of talents that regularly get mentioned here.
- Stylized elements for various parts of the forum. I.E the banners over each section and icons for each separate board within these sections.
