Members of the [url=/7thColumn/]7th Column[/url] will be happy to hear that we just added four new themes for you to jazz up your group homepages. Even better, forum goers can now choose to use their Halo 2 Live emblem as their avatar if they desire. Woot!
[b]THEMES[/b]
For a while now, members of the 7th Column have had a mere 3 themes to use to customize the look of their groups homepage. Well, thanks to some artistic and dedicated Bungie.net members, you now have a few more options.
The first new theme is "Halo Babies", created by HaloBabies.net co-founder and lead artist, "Grunstbane." Next we have "Xbox", creatively named for it's graphic stylings based on our beloved console. This theme comes courtesy of Mr. Smiley, longtime Bungie.net member and founder of the popular "MSXL" chapter. "Myth" is a throwback theme to Bungie's old fantasy RTS game and was created by "Psyched." Lastly, we have the uber old school "Terminal" theme which captures the high tech goodness of the computer terminals found throughout Marathon. This was created by "Sir Fragula."
Thanks to all of these guys for their great themes. And, thanks to everyone who has made an attempt at creating themes. While we have received many submissions, our standards are pretty high so unfortunately not many make it through our art department.

[b]AVATARS[/b]
Ever since we rolled out the Halo 2 stats section on Bungie.net and allowed players to show off their actual emblems from Xbox Live, people have been pleading that we make these same emblems available as avatars in our forums. Your wish has been granted. Visit the "My Settings" page and then select the "Avatar" tab. At the top of the page, you'll have an option to use your Halo 2 emblem.
