Well now, this is exciting! I have completely re-done the banner system, and it now supports all kinds of new features!

I can now give credit to individuals who contribute banners to the site.

Also, the banners can be annotated with titles and information, and that information is then published in the footer of every page! (Scroll to the bottom to see).

And last but best: the banners are now recorded for posterity in the "Site Banners" forum, where you can view the current and past banners, and comment on each one!

As this is a new overhaul, all the past banners we have run are not listed. But future banners will be listed.

Wonderful!

Thanks, Dave!

Fantastic Thank you so much Dave!

Oh Dave, this is wonderful news! You are so freaking cool - Thank you!

Very freaking cool indeed.

Trish, does Dave's head grow from all the lavish praise???

I take it he now expects people to call him Sir Dave.

No, it doesn't.

Sometimes he puts on some bravado, which makes it all the more funny if you know how humble he really is. If conversations like this took place in public, his face would be beet red, and he'd change the subject as quick as possible.

However, the praise does let us know how we're doing!

Great!! Dave, this seems like you've been on a roll the last couple of days, all kinds updates and fixes, almost like when ATP first started!

Well, it's of course because he has nothing else to do but please us. I mean, a farm, in springtime, with a pregnant wife? Surely he has all the leisure time in the world!

It's been raining....

That, and the other day the database problems were bothering him so bad that he was up at 3am and just stayed up to fix everything!

A very unique, new feature!!

: to Dave for making this an even more beautiful place!.

Hetty, you forgot the 5 kids he already has.

I have to say again how cool it has been to watch Dave do his thing and how he's made ATP grow from it's inception, and how it continues to get bigger and better.

What's really impressive is in knowing that this site is only 9 months old. Look how far Dave and Trish have brought us in such a short time.

Great people working together, including a great group of members, can only equate to an excellent site.
Feels good to be a part of it.

You must be mistaken Sharon, it is not possible for mere humans to create a fabulous site like this in only nine months....

I'm rarely, if ever, mistaken, Hetty.
Don'tcha know?

You've been a big part of it Sharon. Pat yourself on the back.
