Sillydog Banner - Jakarta Blast

Postby goGecko » Fri 10 Sep, 2004 4:30 pm

I notice that a new banner seems to be loaded for the sillydog forum. The old banner in the upper left-hand corner used to be a grey colored gradient. Now we have a British Flag near a burned out building. I'm curious about what the picture is supposed to be. Perhaps something in Australia? Is it permanent or are we looking for a new permanent image? Or perhaps the old one will come back?

Here's the image currently being used as the forum background . . .

It's the Australian flag outside the bomb damaged Australia Embassy
in response to the latest terrible atrocity by international terrorists.

I guess you don't know anything outside the States. And I'd better remind you that it's another anniversary of Sept 11th.

Actually I completely missed out on this terrorist attack. I read news from Netscape.com (which is actually from CNN) and their world news has concentrated on the Russian school that was captured by terrorists and about the deadly force needed by the Russian army to recapture the building. Apparently the embassy bombing in Indonesia was considered less "important" and therefore not placed on the homepage. After seeing the post from DJGM, I went and ran a search. I couldn't find an article from CNN, but I did find one in a local newspaper. Thanks for clarifying about the picture.
