New link banner…

Every now and then someone asks me for a linking banner, and I’ve always said “I don’t have one”, partially because it’s true and partially because all the banners I’ve tried to make have sucked. But no longer!! Here’s the new official 140×35 pixel link banner/button for nfggames:

So, how about that Nintendo DS, eh?

Another SQL failure

MySQL has failed again, and the forums are down until I can find a way to possibly reclaim the data and resurrect the missing forum.
