I swap mine around alot too, you should see how fast I swap some of mine on MSN :P.Omega the Hedgehog said:SSN always has the most fantastic avatars around the board. Plus the pace at which he swaps them out makes things quite a bit more interesting in the long run.
Yeah, 'cause ya can't find one within' the crazy limits.Mystic said:It takes a lot for me to change an avatar, especially after I've had it this long.
I don't know about you, but I'm perfectly happy with the JPEG format. A 128x128 resolution image file doesn't have to be high quality.Draykon said:Yeah, 'cause ya can't find one within' the crazy limits.
I've been meaning to ask, exactly who IS AJ? And while I'm asking offtopic questions, why are you logged in as a hidden user, yet still posting? Isn't the whole idea behind hidden users to keep people from knowing you're online?Mystic said:It would, but it's not necessary. It's just an avatar. The original full image it comes from is 472 KB. That thing is beautiful, but it's a 1024x768 JPEG. I really don't understand why everyone is such whiners about something as simple as a filesize restriction. Compression is your friend. Use it. If that compression sucks too much, lower your resolution to compensate. I remember using 64x64 images and they looked fine. Be creative. I love how everyone is infinitely creative getting pictures but only whine when they find about the 10 KB limit. Look at some of the crazy stuff AJ has done with it. That's all in 10 KB. If he can make multiple frame 128x128 animated GIFs and other insane stuff, you can get a picture in there.

Not really, my question was why is Mystic posting while he's hidden.

...Because he wants to reply to a topic?Draykon said:Not really, my question was why is Mystic posting while he's hidden. Which hasn't been answered.
But he's hidden! It's illogical to post when you're hidden! It eleminates the purpose!FuriousFox said:...Because he wants to reply to a topic?Draykon said:Not really, my question was why is Mystic posting while he's hidden. Which hasn't been answered.
Mystic said:Because maybe I'm tired of logging into the forums and getting 15 people suddenly ask me something over IRC?
