Not too high.  Maybe a tad inconsistent but I am digging the variety.

Agreed. These are pretty cool, I'm glad you guys are finding more ways to recycle the advent calendar than just giving the fans something to look at.

Skunker, I love the custom sig graphic....simple, yet serious, and looks professional, not like a  lot of "kiddie" ones....

I agree with all said above, except, yes, the banners are a little highly placed...for me.

Do you guys prefer it changing randomly while you visit the forum or would a different one everyday be better? Personally i like how it cycles, but we will try to standardize the size that way its not always shifting around.

It could be made as a .png/.gif with 5>10 images rotating in a interval of 10 secs.

And it would be best to keep it in one size only. It neglects a "bumpy" entry on a topic.

No I definitely like how it cycles as you move around the forum. 

And thanks wolfs, I just kinda grabbed the bushwacker render from the MW:LL art section (sorry guys, i thought someone might rip my head off for butchering it) and just threw a camo pattern on with low opacity. The logo was tossed in there for kicks....of course I realize that it has 0 relevance to BT but I decided that it looked cool, so i put it in.

I like it how it is. Nice touch.

The cycling of images is great, Crim, it was just the differing sizes that was throwing me off.

The page tends to bump when entering it.

Oh, definitely keep the changing for each view - As you've said though, keeping them the same size... And maybe putting a "Filler texture" to either side of it? Metal panels, the MWLL logo or something. The black border makes the banner area look a little empty.
