I'm considering making a banner page explaining what banners are and an index of all Banner makers here. However, does anyone know the origin of banners? I'd like to make a detailed page about banners.

EDIT: I've seen the "FC Club Banners" page but it's only for inv4der and 82erkle. I'd like a full banner page.

Yes, I was considering this, too, and I already started making a table and putting 82erkle's banners in it, until I realized that I got the cod for pictures wrong and I just didn't feel like it.

It would be awesome if somebody could create like this, I would, but my coding and programming knowledge is 0.... so, sorry.

Oh, and I think inv4der was the first to introduce banners to SH.

From #bannerhero (I fully endorse this channel to anyone who has no issues with banners):

1:41 PM `Silly: "Oh, and I think inv4der was the first to introduce banners to SH." confirm/deny
1:41 PM inv4der: It's tricky
1:41 PM SteroidPirate: confirm i thank
1:41 PM inv4der: I'm the first to make them in bulk, and standardized the format
1:42 PM inv4der: but there were a few odd ones here and there before me
1:42 PM inv4der: Mine also popularized the concept
1:43 PM inv4der: for an arguments' sake, I was the first person to truly be an actual banner maker

Wait, don't tell me that Silly said the EXACT same thing as me, or couldn't you just remember the quote and copied mine >_>?
So, that's the full history of banners right there. The few "odd" ones... I don't remember any of them, but it can be because I never came even close to the RB side of the forum. It would be awesome if you could actually find a few and post them over here .

Wow, you really don't get it? Silly copied your text after seeing this thread, then inv4der answered it in IRC, then inv4der copy/pasted it to the thread.
/facepalm

This is the only one I saved. It's actually the one that inspired my general format, the font is off, the icon is a bit too big, but otherwise very similar. This banner is the one that set the size at 300x40.

January 2007, GH userbars
December 2007, Custom userbars

Now I know these don't serve the same purpose your banners do, but please realize you didn't start this concept, it's been around for years.

Well way after inv4der and 82erkle had theirs, I made a topic for L4D banners. Then about 3 days later, the topic of banners for any video game sprouted up. So my little L4D Lemonade Stand topic might have inspired a more broad topic for every video game.

I've seen standardized gaming related userbars around since...2003? 2004?

The very first "FC Club" banner I remember seeing is when billtvshow FC'd Next to You and made a banner with his face by the screen. I remember thinking "hey that's a cool idea, but I probably shouldn't make one for myself unless its for something insane like NtY..."

I think everybody knows that userbars have been around forever, but I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread is referring specifically to "FC Club" banners.

Now that I think about it, I think billtvshow's was the first one, unless he can come in here and tell us otherwise.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure we're talking only about GH (and I guess RB) here, and none of those were around then.

Well, not exactly only "FC Banners", there are banners for other accomplishments, like a "2000+ note streak club" banner. That would make the history of GH banners start in January 2007, just like socrstopr said.
