    What characters would make up a good background for this board?

    Like This Thread!
    People who have visited the VG board know that they are famous for their background featuring video game characters. If we were to make a background like that on the CN board, who would you put? I would make a collage of lead characters from some shows, and minors from others. Here's what mine would look like:

    Dexter
    Mandark
    Dexter's Dad
    Mojo Jojo
    Blossom
    Ed
    Rolf
    Plank
    I. R. Babboon
    The Red Guy
    Cousin Boneless
    Lancelot (ML&O)
    Courage
    Eustace
    Robot Jones
    Larry 3000
    Buck Tudrussle
    The Angry Scientist
    Aku
    Samurai Jack
    Fred Flintstone
    The Great Gazzoo
    Scooby Doo
    Scrappy Doo
    Shaggy Rogers
    Johnny Bravo
    Johnny's Mama
    Little Dog
    Hamtaro
    George Jetson
    Astro

    More coming in a little bit...

    This would definitly make the CN Forum look better. I like the way the Video Game Forum looks.I'd have to go with Dexter, some Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Power Puff Girls, Cow and Chicken, Codename Kids Next Door, and a few other shows that I may be forgeting. What was mentioned sounds good.

    Just the Cartoon Cartoons that are classics or good.

    A poll could be a good idea, if there can only be a certain amount of charecters.

    You mean as a top banner or as a total background image. Image backgrounds look cluttered. As a banner, if you can see them in that bumper of the characters walking around town (cool bumper BTW) it would make sense to include them. Toonami and Boomerang characters would be best on their own fourms.

    I would go with:

    Mac and Bloo
    Duck Dodgers, the Cadet, and Martian Commander
    (possibly) #1
    (possibly) Grim
    (possibly) Ami and Yumi
    (possibly) one of the Ed's.
    Basically, if it's something that airs on Friday's and rotates in and out of premeires, then I'd consider them. Some of the older ones lke Jack and Dexter are deserving, but since their series have ended, then it may or may not benefit to put them in as well.

    We never had a tiled background on this forum. None of my sites do, and when the original "Cartoon Fridays" website was made, this forum was made to match the website. When the forum became a Cartoon Network general forum, we didn't stray too far from the original layout.

    I probably will update the banner after the fridays fansite is finished though. I'll put into considerations for different characters.

    Yeah, I don't think the idea of a background for this forum is a good one. I like this forum the most, because it doesn't have one (but, that's not the only reason, of course).

    A new banner sounds nice. Are you and Matt Wilson going to do a collaboration on this one? Or is it all you this time?

    Actually, looking back, I made a pretty long list. Prehaps I could shorten it down to one character per show...

    Dexter
    Mojo Jojo
    Johnny Bravo
    The Red Guy
    Rolf
    Courage
    Lancelot
    I.R. Babboon
    The Angry Scientist
    Buck Tudrussel
    Grim
    General Skarr
    Robot Jones
    Jamie
    Numbuh 4
    Bloo
    Hamtaro
    Shaggy
    The Great Gazzoo
    George Jetson
    Little Dog
    Samurai Jack

    Sounds OK. It'll probably never happen, but hey, I can dream, right?

    I think the charcters should defentlly be restricting to Cartoon Cartoons, now Toonami, 3rd party and mugzuki stuff.

    I think:
    Mojo Jojo
    Powerpuff Girls (all in one)
    Dexter
    Jonny Bravo
    Courage
    Courages owner (name?)
    Cow and Chicken (together)
    The Red Guy
    I am weasel
    Grim
    Billy
    Mandy
    Eddy
    Ed

    I kinda like that list. And just for the record, Courage's owners are named Eustace and Muriel.

    Yeah, still long. Have you been to other boards? If you had, you'd notice that they don't have more than... eh, eight characters.

    Well put it this way, our banner will only fit about 6-7 characters in it. I'd love to put more, but we have to make it only 15KB in order for fast loading. Here is what I'm thinking of..

    Krypto
    Edwardo (Fosters)
    Yumi (Hi Hi Puffy)
    Numbah Five (KND)
    Clover (Totally Spies)
    Duck Dodgers
    Tom (Tom & Jerry)

    What do you think?

    No character from Ed, Eddn'Eddy?

    I'd put Edd, or maybe Plank in over one of those characters. I think the Eds represent CN much better than Totally Spies does.

    Numbah Five (KND)
    Clover (Totally Spies)
    Duck Dodgers
    Tom (Tom & Jerry)

    What do you think?
    Krypto - have no clue who this is
    Edwardo - oh, PLEASE NO! if anyone from Fosters must be on it, make it Bloo
    Yumi - once again, don't know who this is.
    Numbuh 5 - OK, I guess. I'd rather see Numbuh 4, though
    Clover - one word - no.
    Duck Dodgers - finally one we agree on.
    Tom - if you want an oldie, put Fred Flintstone or Bugs Bunny.

    And not one mention of the original cartoon cartoons?

    If the list MUST be shortened to seven, this is what I suggest-
    Dexter
    Duck Dodgers
    Bloo
    Numbuh 4
    one of the Eds
    Courage
    Johnny Bravo

    Courage could possibly be replaced by Fred or Bugs.
