"YuhEEEEEEEEEEE_HUAAAAAAAAAAAW!"

You've seen the magnificent site theme known as 1996, you've heard rumors about 2096, but did you know, that there is also a very serious desire on the part of the Orb Dev Team to make a cowboy-themed "1896" version also? You do now!

I'm not a "code monkey." I wouldn't know where to begin building something like this on the "back end," and they haven't given me permissions to do so anyway. (Which is fine by me). We'll be mostly fielding support for @æggdrasil on this one.

But what I do know is that in order for it to go from cowboy dream to cowboy reality, we're going to need a solid brainstorming phase, a lot of graphics, and just a little cowboy wisdom.

That's what this thread is for. We're inviting anyone and everyone to contribute in whatever way they can. Think you can crank out an animated gif of a spinning orb that looks more like a tumbleweed or wagon wheel than some kind of magical glass marble? Sitting on a stash of, let's just be cautious for a minute and say public domain, cowboy photographs and illustrations? Can you cowpunch, gunsling, or tie a lassoo or whatever it's called? SADDLE UP!

Blood Meridian is absolutely essential cowboy reading. we may not want to, like, put quotes or depictions of its more graphic scenes all over the place, but it's safe to say that someone who has read it is better equipped to help develop a cowboy forum theme than someone who hasn't, all else being equal.

even if we'll also have plenty of this, too
