Ishiyoshi Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm glad to see that you've finally constructed the .gif movie file. My own .gif movie sig depicts a sword play scene by Toshiro Mifune in "The Sword of Doom."<-- My avatar is Domo-kun with a pair of D66SL and the blue N910.

mercury_in_flames Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 for our gif images, dont users with dial-up have to load them? And if they delete their temp internet files, download them again, making the site a hassle? Although I suppose most people nowadays have above 56k connections.

Ishiyoshi Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yes, they do have to load the .gif images; and I guess this is somewhat cumbersome for those with dial-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yes, they do have to load the .gif images; and I guess this is somewhat cumbersome for those with dial-up.There's always the lofi version. Nevertheless, i think >1MB is still very large even for those with fast connections. Besides, i find moving images rather distracting/irritating. They also need increased processing power and might slow older systems down. Try to imagine what happened if everyone would use them.

mercury_in_flames Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 hehe, mines 380kb. Oh, and I dont think mine is distracting as theres hardly any movement and the colours are quite dull. Unlike the gif images which have say 19 frames and 'flash' more, those i find are more distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Currently my avatar is a photograph of my coffee after I poured the creamer in... Very strange looking as you can see.It's not everyday you see a vision of the apocalypse in your coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZosoIV Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm very un-artistic (despite being able to play several musical instruments), so my avatar is pretty square. A free 2GB Hi-MD disc to whoever can guess who it is first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 My uneducated guess is Coltrane!I don't want the 2Gb disc, as my unicorn poops them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcnet Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) Mine is basically my "tag" or "spray" I use when playing deathmatch games (Im STILL playing halflife 2 deathmatch - and im STILL rubbish at it). I have various messages such as "Nobody calls me Susan", "As Gothic as a Garden centre" and "Sorry I'm rubbish" at the top.But I like "I am not an onion" then best. I guess its my very weird sense of humor. The middle bit is basically an extension to those house pictures you can draw without taking the pen off the paper... (you know, the ones you doodle when you get bored in school / college / Uni.... Well, I did anyway). I basically drew it in Paintshop Pro and applied random effects to it until it looked like it doesAnd my internet nick and website are at the bottom Edited February 4, 2006 by marcnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 New Avatar:A very interesting fractal-looking piece of green cauliflower (broccoliflower) that we got from the grocery store. Really kind of blew my mind looking at it, so I had to take some pics. It is very much a fractal, the smaller parts that make up the spiral are small versions of the same type of spiral...
