A few of us were talking about giving the board a more "DotA"ish feel, so here's what we can do:

1. Theme - Themes for the board are a single CSS file. You can copy the classes from an existing theme and modify. There is also a common.css, but theme-file declarations override those.
2. Post Layouts - This board has an awesome post-layout section in your User Profile where you can change the way your individual posts show up to others. We should get some DotA themed layouts going to encourage others.
3. Ranks - I'm sure you've all noticed the little mario-themed icons in the <<-user information <<-. If you click the Ranks link at the top of the page, you can see them all. We can create other sets and users can choose which ones they see. Maybe we can use the Hero mini-map icons and just put them in a random order? Or we could do items or something idk, but its a possibility.

if you are so inclined, i can get the textures for the weapons as they appear in the shop.
im pretty sure i can also find the hero minimap textures. let me know and i can extract them tonight

That actually sounds like a great idea. Talk to binary about getting it ported over to the boards for everyone to use.

so i got a tad sidetracked but i now have the resources exported and packed up.

i have the following:
items
minimap heroes
hero icons
spell icons (this one has a lot of stuff some of which i really like)
the 10 possible dashboard avatars (not something i would put on the forum except maybe the default creep avatar as a default display pic or something)

let me know if you still want them
