Goons Are Gifts


BYOB, circa 2020

Yobbers!
We here at the BYOB flight control center decided that it is time for us to rise again to be with the stars. We will build a spaceship and visit other worlds!
The spaceship will be a wandering spaceship thread that we move across various subforums that invited us in, we can prepare a little theme or game or a topic to chat about or something for them and then - that's the important part - start POSTING. Additionally, we will invite everyone in the visited subforum to also check out our home in BYOB, offering them a super cool gang tag if they start a thread here, or post across existing ones. Of course, anyone can join in our journey and visit other forums with us and party.
Now, to make this dream a reality, we will need your famous creativity and talent, because we don't have such a gang tag yet. Any and all suggestions or ideas are welcome, we maybe could even do multiple ones (Alien Krew? BYOB Space Ambassador? The possibilities are endless) and everyone can choose what badge they want to carry. Everything goes here, we could even include a nice spaceship drawing to post in every new forum or include a gift basket full of alien goo or just tons and tons of pet pictures, I mean, who doesn't love those!

Some technical notes regarding gang tags in general: The limits are 180x50px, not larger than ~200kb. Of course, keep it SFW etc. you know the drill.

Once we settled about some art choices here, we'll post the spaceship, ask mods that would like us to visit their forum (we already got some invites :peanut:) and launch in T-post seconds.
Let's go!!

Is there a spaceship smiley? :cthulhu: probably but uhm :bandwagon: kinda works, too.

GaG and I are v excited about this journey through the vastness of space.

Does anyone have that old banner ad with an mspainted spaceship and it says "your exciting future" "new posting worlds" on it

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
maybe a gang tag that says BYOB in the Babylon 5 title font? I have no photoshop skills or I'd whip up a prototype



Thanks to Saoshyant for the amazing spring '23 sig!

Manifisto


okay, I'll spitball. for a gang tag, one idea is a star field with "space buds" written in the 2001 font (see poster below) and have a cute little spaceship (perhaps a flying saucer?) (🛸?) cross the tag from like left to right or something.



alternatively we could just rip off the poster wholesale and include the star baby, but I like the idea of having a spaceship if that's the thread concept.

e: apparently Gill Sans was the font used in the movie, but the number "2001" in that poster is some other font I guess

I can't tell if that scribble on the hood is an R2 unit or a diagram of the Death Star. Either way, I would love to sit in it right now.

if we leave spots open on the spaceship we can collect a new sticker for each forum we visit, and at the end of the trick the ship will be covered in souvenirs

When I thought of that joke I didn't remember that the character from 2001 was named Dave. It worked perfectly.

lol

he's staring at the blinking dot until its right on top of him - the new chiller taps him on the shoulder and he turns around and goes "woah! you snuck up on me!"

I mean if we can make a space joke become a gang tag we could get the cake and also eat it!!

This is a super nice idea by the way and I figured we should decide on one of these great spaceships soon and then see which gang tag concept takes the win

If anyone has an idea but not the Photoshop magic, feel free to just describe it or paint it or something, I'm sure we can work this out
