You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.- Nietzsche

When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.- Mahatma Gandhi

Flash sig images are even worse.... I've seen forums with no limits, where people have put sodding video clips (80 frame gifs or summat) as avatars and have a 3 mile wide banner as their siggy.

Meh, the target is a nice start to the image - the rest is hand done anyway so it is personalised.

Besides - just because someones done it first, doesn't make me any less a man for using the tutorial as a base for my own. I like the outcome :p

Back on Kalfthunderith's title, isn't that also the name of one of Goober's campaigns?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Are you kidding?

It took me to be AWOL for a year and a half for people to start knowing me as Raa Tor'h, rather than Snipes. And another 4 months before people learned to spell it correctly. Then, people who I've helped with models and the like still type it wrong. *looks at KT and Trashman* :rolleyes:

That does indeed kick arse.

This is below is an example of what i'm talking about.... imagine it twice the length, and banner sized and you have an idea of the monstrosities i'm talking about...

What, Snipes? I still remember you and still associate you with US and QM, so there. :p

To say it further: image sigs, no. If we put it in for a week, I guarantee you'd get sick of it. Which is why we wouldn't even put it in for a week. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

1) It's not that hard to spell Kalfireth. Kalfireth. Kalfireth. Kalfireth.

2) Avatars are okay, but anything bigger than 80x80 or animated will seriously damage your eyes. I'm really glad we don't have them here.

3) Image sigs = worst thing that could happen to a forum. I've seen people use 300+ KB animated GIFs as a SIGNATURE - insane. And then there's the 500x500 images stretching the page to un-natural proportions.

I don't really like the normal users having avatars. I think this is a good setup. Makes the forum look "cleaner" (not as much random clutter).

Only until Psycho gets back on his feet.

I'll still freelance and put my models on QM when I get a chance. I really don't want to see QM die.

HLP is as friendly as it is partly because of the forced equality of pretty much everyone. And that's one formula that isn't going to be changing anytime soon.
