I think the font used needs to be changed as well, because it looks a little amaturish. I know of a site that allows you to download fonts and here's a link to it. Fonts Hope you can find some good ones there to play around with.

Here is a new banner that I assembled for this forum. I'm fixing to get started on the style sheet, I just want to let everyone know what to expect.

I quite like that banner by KudarMubat15, but I agree, there could be more added to it.
I think I may give this a try. I have been looking up on how to make banners, and it is very much different than what I did for my site, as it is the same layout and everything. The only problem I will have is getting a banner...So, I will give this a try.
Edit: WEll, I have the skin layout...but no banner. I was hoping to get your guys comment on the style I have so far. Click here to see the three pages of styles that I have. There is the forum index, a thread, and the post page. The banner there is the banner of the RPF forum here. I just wanted your guys comments on the style before a banner was made.

It is quite an attractive style sheet, darth_nemisis, but if I may make one comment (strictly for improvement purposes), the light username colors look a little "off" against the dark background. May I suggest making the usernames a darker color?

This banner represents the people in here, it looks boring and gray. I have been checking out this "fansite thread" for a while, and really nobody posts anything usefull in here, It's just like the fan art thread. Everybody want there own thread, and expects everyone to add a reply, while not posting something on other topics. Really, you can even find better conversations on a graveyard... I don't think I impress anybody, but try to bring this thread back to life again...

If I am not mistaken, this is not a social forum, no "conversations" are suppose to be going on unless it is about a site. Just like the Fan Art forum, this forum is for people to present their work to others and have them critique it, negatively or positively, whichever. The people who post in this forum enjoy it because they like to see what other people do with their websites, and like to help others out. If you do not enjoy to post in this forum and want to bash those who do, perhaps you shouldn't post here.

I agree with what was just said - this is a place for feedback and constructive criticism on fan-created websites. There's a social thread for anything other than web-related discussion, and we're trying to find new ways to bring life to this place. If you feel that the banner is one of the main reasons for that why not try to make one instead of complaining?
In response to the above banner images and stylesheets:
darth_nemisis - I love just about any style done in red and black.  Nicely done and perhaps we can find a banner that would be able to use it sometime if you don't end up making one. 
Dark-Enigma - that's not a bad start at all for a banner, but one thing you need to make sure you alter is the placement of the forum title. It needs to be more on the main image than the background one so it stays towards the left side of the screen. That way regardless of the screen resolution people use they'll be able to see the title.

Well, see, I am not much of a graphics person, so I probably will not be able to make one. I believe I have photoshop, so I may try something. If not, I have two options: 1.) I am in contact with Vassago to see if he can get a banner done. He has not really done anything with it. Or 2.) Someone else can make one and see how it works.
Would anybody be willing?

The text placement is much better, but I'm still not sure about the choice of images just as was the case with one that KenobisHeir was working on. The code and such is heading the right direction, but IMHO if you're going to use images of Star Wars characters it'd be best to blend them with more web-based elements to help fit this forum. I think you're on the right track though so keep at it!

What do you mean by blending them with web-based elements?

I think he means like websites and stuff.
And, incase you don't know, you can edit-copy a website by simply pressing Alt Print Screen.
