I liked the look of it :)
At least in my eyes, it almost looks a bit too...professional. The classic beam looks a bit more like a 90-second Photoshop hack job, which always made it seem more endearing to me. I don't mind the new options at all, but would it be possible to retain the original, just for nostalgia's sake?I kind of like the old one better too... :nervous:
If it's really not that well recieved then I'll put the old one back if someone can supply me with the graphic.Ack. You overwrote the old welcome beam without backing it up?

Yeah, the old one ought to be within easy reach, but I don't think anyone could produce it inside of 60 seconds. :)

(And NO, I have not started to deliberately talk in first person plural)
albeit a sometimes-abused oneIt's a sad thing, actually. I used to think it was a pretty fun tradition, though I never practised it. But after all the ridiculous inflation that went into its use, seeing it in a post automatically puts me into "Oh no, not again" mode.
I did. :nod:

Same.
I like the font in the second one.
Oh and by the way, have stopped talking in third person, can now get adv_effects.vp style animated beam?
How do you get the birthday beam? What code?
And on that note, what are the HL Monkeys?
Hmmm... Since everything is being replaced, how about updating this tired old thing?

That makes 8... but, really, I'd like to see the animated beam either put as a code or upgraded and then put as a code. Hmm, :animbeam: or something. :)

They don't actually use the beam texture files from FS, they make them in PhotoShop.Hmmm... Since everything is being replaced, how about updating this tired old thing?

punctuation or ban :PNo offense, but i got to agree. Proper punctuation is an asset, Terran.
Speaking of which, has anyone heard of him? It was always so funny to read his 'unknown 3d problem can any one help me fix that problem' posts. To some extent, that is. The fun part pretty much ended when he started reporting kara's posts.
Edit: Speak of the devil. He is here.
No no. The W. But that reminds me. -Joshua- guessed that the W might be Dutch and apparently he was going to PM him to see if they could communicate without major problems.Edit: Speak of the devil. He is here.
Who? fs2freak88? *checks*... Awww... :(
Anyway, I don't think the way we treated woutersmits as a community was right. I think he didn't understand English at all and that was the reason for his apparent stupidity.
any reason why we're talking about him in the new welcome beam announcement thread? :wtf:What, you want us to start a woutersmits thread?
Apparently Snail's stalking him or something as he knows his name and everything.
He's not from Pakistan, he's obviously from somewhere else. And if you knew any Arabic, you'd know that "Al-Ilah Bin Massih" means "The Deity Son of Messiah". :pSo you're Arabic?
1. I'm not a big fan of animations as a means for welcoming new people. Though I'm not speaking for everyone.
2. It doesn't say 'welcome' anywhere and the smilies look angry. That's not very welcoming.
3. It is pretty, though.
Oh, and as a side note, I'm beginning to think wouter is Russian since this new guy Wolfrine(Rus) sounded just like him.
