Form follows function, right?
Personally I find the banner fairly pointless. Whenever I open Bhuz, I get a large black block at the top of the screen with a button off to the right, which eventually fills up with the pretty picture and the stars. I hate that download time, it annoys me - call me impatient if you will. But then, after I open a thread, I don't see it any more because I've invariably scrolled away from it. So I never even *see* the animation.
On the one hand, this means the stars don't bother me. On the other, I miss the animations of the images melting into each other unless I happen to scroll back up at the right time. I'm on the standard screen resolution ( I don't do full-screen). And I never see this stuff when I'm actually using the site, so what's the point in having something that obviously takes a lot of energy, slows the site down and causes some people problems, when nobody is going to look at it on the forums anyway?
I think it looks nice on the home page, but the forums... what is the point, really?
