Or avatars, as you prefer. Here's a nice example thread: http://www.phoenyx.net/cgi-bin/viceroy.pl/gamers/main/00002368/threads.html Mine was made with a HeroMaker sort of avatar creator, some time ago. (Yes, my hair usually does that, no, not on purpose.) Roger's is ganked off his homepage. I couldn't find a picture of Chuk, since he wasn't quite as obliging about putting pictures of himself all over the net. Bill's picture looks like it was taken by a five-year-old because it was. (Our son, running amok with the digital on game day once. Bill's gonna kill me.) Carl's picture is a downsized one from his blog. The growth on his head is his faire hat. Matches this one: http://www.silverseams.com/images/short_term/peekaboo.jpg They're 40x40, which seems to be a reasonable size. They're all jpg at the moment, but I'll enable gif someday in the near future so non-photographic ones won't end up so fuzzy. Now that I've broken the threading (it's mid-update), I'm gonna go to bed. It's starting to look pretty cool. (Well, okay, it was until I deselected most of the history. But the *code* is good.) -- Karen J. Cravens silver@phoenyx.net

Huh...I thought that _was_ a picture of me. I am blue with no facial features, actually. -- Chuk Goodin cgoodin@sfu.ca Alien Light GM http://www.phoenyx.net/alienlight

I had no idea we had a celebrity in our midst. (Actually, Chuk's sent me a revised pic, and it's in there now. I suppose an uploader for avatar/icon images should be on my to-do list...) -- Karen J.

I would assume you'll terminate any animated .gifs with extreme prejudice...

They *are* useful, if we're gonna have a forum and all. I just don't like it when people change them all the time, or have groups of avatars (LiveJournal, I'm looking at YOU) and don't maintain a theme, and then post with four different unrelated avatars in the same thread. I start to think "Geez, are you a sockpuppet?" and then I realize no, not intentionally anyway. However, being a roleplaying site and all, we'll like as not have avatars linked to identities, so folks can put their character shot in their PC identity, and all. Slippery slope, whee! TH>Pictures of me exist, but they're all awful. Like that stopped me from posting Bill's. Pictures of me exist, but they're all really outdated. Apparently everyone stopped taking pictures of me after I stopped perming my hair. Which would be, um, 1992. Well, I take that back. I have some pictures from while I was pregnant. 'Nuff said. TH>I would assume you'll terminate any animated .gifs with extreme prejudice... Not too extreme. We'll just pick a frame. We'll even be nice and pick the last frame, instead of a random transitional one. -- Karen J. Cravens silver@phoenyx.net
