Hello, stupid question here.
« on: January 19, 2003, 05:03:43 pm »
Whoever reads this might think its dumb, but umm.... How do you all get those cool pictures of your characters into your signature thing?  I think they all look really neat, and almost life like.  Do you design them yourselves?  Alright, I just thought I\'d ask.  Thanks.

Well most users take some cool pictures off the web, edit them, and merge them into one, using photoshop or similar program. Others use a drawing program to draw their own pics. Or a combination of the two.
<Worf> These are the moments when my ego gets put back on the ground. I use linux for quite some time, and am soon 2 years maintainer of a linux distribution. I started to think I would be good at it. But then I tried to get planeshift running.

I got my pics on a google search and added the text and effects and such with Paintshop and Animation Shop. I also have Flash, I am thinking of making a small little intro, you know with a little play button and everything.

Thank you all for explaining that to me.  I think all your pictures are really cool.  :D

Kewl Aelya.. Btw, anyone know WHO deleted my \"What\'s with all these Hello World threads\", thread? I\'m gonna smack that person up badly! *Looks at Venge* I hope, for your sake, that you didn\'t do it!  :D

Mod: Why are you bitching about people saying hello and being welcomed into the community?  If you don\'t want to read those, I suggest you don\'t click on threads with topics like \"Hello\" and \"Greetings\".  -Venge

No No No and No ! The signature pictures are not cool or neat, they\'re horrible. They increese loading time for low bandwith, modem and isdn users. They\'re mainly not well done and they make the forum hard to read. I hope the admins add the nice feature of removing the signatures. So that all you flashy bastards who like the evil images could see them and ruin a good forum, and the smart ones, like myself, could read the forums without 100s of poorly made crap.

How rude
« Reply #9 on: January 19, 2003, 08:27:56 pm »
I think that that is awefully rude of you to say.  You might not like the pictures for whatever reason, but you don\'t have to be so mean about it.  Wow, that\'s horrible.  You could say stuff like that in a nicer way.  Some of these people work hard on making these pictures and I believe they came out nice and I don\'t mind looking at them, and I myself would like to make something like that.  Sorry that you don\'t agree.

well if ya don\'t like em you just turn them of in your profile so you don\'t seen em anymore.

I have 56k and don\'t have (much) problems with loading time for these pages. (or i\'ve just gotten used to it)

Anyways, i\'m busy creating a new one. I\'m using milkshape3d and some other program for my new sig. That one will be totally my work (unlike the one i have now)

Culsoron, see the little Profile button at the top of your forum page?  That is there for a reason.

i.e. you can disable sigs anytime you want.

And you only have to load them once if you have a browser that was created some time in this century since they are cached.
