I do not like this idea at all, I only found out about Devbest as I have been part of the retro community, ever since I have been dedicated to Devbest, posting daily and never wanting anything to happen to it. Devbest has a community of strong, dedicated, helpful members, if we did end up...

Just threw this together as I had some time on my hand, not the best I've ever produced but I guess it's one to add to my portfolio. The text isn't the text I'd normally use as I have just got a new PC and lost all my downloaded fonts, sorry about that but, more to the point, here's the banner:
Even a grey colour for the buttons wouldn't look bad. Just chucked this together as I had a bit of time on my hands, it's just a re-colour/edit. Still, all credits to iCrayola
