    Default Board theme

    I think we need a decent theme for the board, or, at least, an image distinct from the phpBB default. Domebo was a pre-clovis American civilization (it is also a contraction of the first two letters of three quite obvious words). Clearly, the choice of name signifies our pioneering spirit.

    Are there any decent artists, here?

    Alright, I'm stumped. All I get with Google is a mammoth kill site in OK. Could we get a link to what this Domebo thing is all about? Can someone give me a whack with a clue X4? The three words aren't too apparent to me

    What were the inhabitants of Domebo called? We need something apart from Doper over here.

    Ah, yes, you are right. It's just a mammoth kill site in Domebo Canyon. Still, the connection is there ops:

    Stupid me, I took it as Do Me Bo, an alternative to Don't Taze Me Bro.

    This is silly, and uses a mammoth illustration someone else did. it could be redone with original artwork.
    I've wanted to use this for something for a while now.

    And slyly editing the SDMB entry to mention the refugee boards.

    Definitely something mammoth related. Are we going to hold a contest or anything? I can draw something up, around all my homework.

    I've seen DoMeBohemians used in a few threads. I like it.
    I'm not good at the advice. Can I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

    Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one. A moment. In childhood. When it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. Must have been shattering. Stamped into one's memory. And yet, I can't remember it.

    I sort of pictured a lady mammoth in a funky peasant skirt and dangling earrings.

    The image made me smile.

    Now she's singing Puccini.
