Okay, gotcha, Be and Susi. I think the fairest thing to do is make at least one other version of the banner that is less geared towards the cast and more towards the fan aspect, and then we put them up for a vote. Let me mull over alternative designs in my head for a bit, I should be able to whip up something else in a reasonable time frame.
Let me just add that none of this is *my* decision. I volunteered to make a new banner and was asked by the forum admin to get member feedback. The ultimate decision on what banner to use is not mine. It's perfectly fine to utter criticism, but don't shoot the messenger, okay?
