You are allowed to choose your avatar on these boards, but do not use any avatar without asking our permission, it will be deleted!!!
We would like to keep a certain amount of 'graphical consistence' within the board, thus if you wish to have an avatar, it must be approved by us and fill certain conditions.
Here's a quick FAQ about what you need to do to get an avatar.
Post your avatars requests in this thread!
We would like to keep a certain amount of 'graphical consistence' within the board, thus if you wish to have an avatar, it must be approved by us and fill certain conditions.
Here's a quick FAQ about what you need to do to get an avatar.
- Submit a 50(wide)x50(high) GIF under 5k with a Delta Green/Cthulhu theme and I'll judge whether it is appropriate or not. No animated GIF will be accepted!
- To submit your request, either post it here or PM it to me. If you post it here, try to post the actual image and not simply describe where I can go find it. Makes things much easier for me and there are no mistakes about which image you want.
- I can host your image once approved, so don't worry if you can't do this yourself. But tell me in your request that you need the image to be hosted...
- I fill avatar requests whenever I get the chance. If yours hasn't been approved, it is because I haven't had time. Be patient. A few days is usually the longest you would have to wait.
- Once you have an avatar, I will be reluctant to change it often. I will honor all requests, but I draw the line at abuse of this policy. Choose an image you would want to represent you and don't plan on changing it.
- Everyone should have a reasonably unique image. You can't just ask for the same image as someone else. If the source is the same image, but the final avatar is different enough, then I will usually allow it.
- I frown heavily on Agents with more than one username. Even if you think you have a good reason, you are probably wrong. Still, don't expect to be able to carry your avatar across each of your logins. I spurn these requests as I would spurn a rabid dog.
- I cannot edit images to create your avatar for you. In the words of Frank Rizzo, "I'm a VERY busy man!" Sorry!
- When editing an image yourself, a useful tip to keeping the file size down is to cut down on the number of colors. Most images don't need more than 64 to look good. And if there is no noticable image loss, feel free to cut the colors down even further. Under 5k file size is required, but 3-4k is much better!
