If you're in desparate need of a new avatar, feel free to browse the emporium and grab one you like. It's not like there is a shortage of avatars available. (and many of them animated).

I will happily stick with the avatar I have now David, I just couldn’t resist crying for a moment, but shouldn’t you have said “stuck in a never opening box” or something like that? Ha-Ha! Narf gets it!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

that cage i keep getting stuck in! hah! i've picked the lock with plinky's tail!

blain, aren't we supposed to be keeping our identity's secret?

no time for that now! we must erase their memory of the past minute.

*ZAP*

boxes? why would i be stuck in a box? it's not like i'm a mouse or something. ha ha.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

*Bump*

there seems to be a number of people sending me private Messages for avatars. In case they didn't know this is the place to post requests.

so, you want avatars eh? well check out the 'Avatar Emporium' in my sig. There should be plenty of good ones for you to use. (Just respect the 'reserved' avatars please.)

well, with genetic engeneering, flying pigs may not be to far off, you know...

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Genetics may be willing, but it's physics you'll have to seduce. By the time you make them fly they won't look remotely like pigs anymore.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Anything and everything can fly. (It's making a soft landing that is the hard part.)

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

A tight, balistic elipse is not flight.

It is, however, fun. The soft landing is still important.

besides, anything can fly, with enough speed and room.

I have always wondered how you make those avatars and how long it takes. When I try to draw something (no matter if I'm using ordinary pencil or mouse) nobody identifies the result. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

no new avatars, but I made a new set of 'main' and 'orders' buttons for use in se4.

Can I have a new avatar now, please! One with the fire of the sun waving, what else? Change the background symbol to something new, something in commemoration of the StarFire Mod I am working on, any suggestions?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I really can’t think of anything right now, how about changing the psychology sign to an interlocked capital S and F? With the flames of the sun in motion I bet that would look pretty good. What do you think?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

HELP!!! I got a new avitar but I cannot get it on to shrapnel. Can anyone tell me how to get it uploaded?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Is your new avatar from my emporium? If so just let me know it's number (hold mouse pointer over the pic in the emporium for a second and it should show you the number) I'll give you a link to the avatar here.

If it's on your HD at home, then you will have to find a place to upload it before you can link it. (Unfortunately Shrapnel's upload forum is currently not working, so you'll have to find another place to send it.)

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

BUMP

Maybe we should start thinking about getting the Avatar Emporium a new home...

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

And getting Shrapnel to upload the avatars for use with this forum.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I don't know what you mean by this, all my avatars ARE already on Shrpanel's site. Everything is, the htm, gif's, logo etc.

(this thread should NEVER be off the first page!)

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

David I mean have them put them where they put the other avatars so people can sort them in their Profile window like we do now for the shrapnel Avatars.

Also would you make an avatar out of this for me if you have time. Thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Done, I sent it (them) to your hotmail account.

I noticed Loser's avatar was not in the reserved section, why?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Thank you David for the new Avatars with my Girl in them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I love the winking one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Probably because he has grabbed the avatar after the forum uploads went down. Because ever since the upload forum has been down, I have not been able to update my emporium. So there are many new 'Un-Reserved' avatars being used. and unfortunately they can't be moved to the reserved section while the upload forum is down.

Did I mention the upload forum is down? did you know this? I hope this helps explain why some of the avatars being used are not in the reserved section.

OK, let's see how much noise you fans can make,...

why not make this thread a 'sticky'? Or make my avatars available through the regular avatar selection for all the intel forums.
