I have a lot of new ideas in store for our second year online at this host... But, first off, let me give a brief recap of the history of Phantoms Mask.
-2004: I first saw the PotO ALW film, opening night (I had already been a phan for 6 years). I make a cheap, small, poorly-managed forum on www.proboards.com called PHANTOM MASK.
-2005: PHANTOM MASK gets several members and eventually becomes popular, so I moved to a phpbb forum (www.phpbb.com). I kept the name, layout, etc. and a few new members joined as we restarted the forum.
-1/2way through 2005: All forums being hosted in a phpbb domain crash due to a hack in the system. I sadly have to relocate my forum to a temporary host (www.freeforums.org), and renamed is PHANTOM'S MASK. Several members rejoin.
-2006: To celebrate 2 years of the forum in general, I finally move to this current host (www.forumotion.com) and several members from previous forums cross over to here, thankfully.
-2007: We celebrate a full year online!
-2008: Destined to be the best year so far!
I have a bunch of new layout and theme ideas, so, I will unmask them (haha) later on.
At the moment, I need opinions on the new forum banner. I have several options to chose from.

I really enjoy the sepia, black and white, or red-hued banners, but I would like the members to make a decision... I took the time to make them and name them, so, let me know what you think, please!
Enjoy!

My favourite is Nicotine and Daydreams
They all look great though!

Thanks a lot! =)
Any suggestions for other color schemes?

I think that black/white with red text would look nice.

I'll try that, too!

I've got a few new updates that I have implemented:
-Topic Title Color:: You can now pick a color for the title of your topic! Please use this sparingly, if at all, though.
-Edit Reason:: If you edit a post, a small box appears beneath the typing square that says Reason for Editting. You can use this to tell why you have editted a post.
-Topic Icons:: Small icons that denote what a topic contains... This is still in construction, but, for example: is a Rehearsal, is an OG Note, is a normal thread (select this for normal topics--users can use this), etc. A full list will be up soon!
-A few new smilies!


And I continue layout updates! =)
