Attention Gene, Administartors (others than me) and Moderators

I have a request to make
Please incrise the maximum pixel size of our avatars
Right now the max size limit is 50x50 pixels
Its too small to put kick ass cool avatars, imho
I think it should be maybe 65x65, hell, 60x60 would to it, even.

Arguments:
We would have better more defined avatars
We would be happier
The forum would NOT take a higher bandwith, cos what determinates that is the maximum AVATAR FILE SIZE (wich is 20kbytes right now, though most peeps avatar is like 2-4k) and not the maximum pixels size

Also that plug in that makes the first few lines of the first post drop down when you mouse over a thread title.

really this is an important question
cos think of this, max file one can upload as avatar is 20k

but you still can have even bigger images as your avatar if you upload them at your own server
you can even put a 2mb movie on gif format as your avatar

I dunno guys, it takes a fairly considerable amount of work to redesign a php board once the planning and implementation is done.

it could be something as simple as altering a global in a style sheet, but it could also amount to more than that.

from what I remember, there is a limited amount of things that can be automatically altered through the configs, but all in all the good folks at kfm inherited this site as is from Steve Creel and they likely don't have the time or the inclination to do all these little redesigns which are not pertinent to the real value of a bbs such as this.

which is the communication and exchange of ideas.

it's costly in page view terms and bandwidth terms the more down and up you got going through the pipes. so for functionality this board is great, but it's not free and none of us have to pay a single penny to be here throwing our stuff around.

suck it up and get creative and do something awesome with your 50x50 avatar alotment bud! what do you want anyway? some big @ss dragonballz char animated? Cause those are a freakin pain to look at all the time. :D

I dunno if you really understood, no one asked for more bandwith, in fact i mentioned incrising the max pixels of avatar would not direclty absolutely use more bandwith.
In fact i go ahead and say, the max file size now is 20K, and that is a LOT for an avatar, be it 50x50 or 100x100.

please think of Zen Chi Fa, Gene!!! It's hard to get past the RECTUS DOMINUS part....

Volcano Admim

:D
ah yes yes yes Gene
yes Gene

I was waiting for that...
A set up i had set up

Here is the catch

I put it up there cos
When people see it they think it means "Ass Lord"

But wait
It doesnt!

It means actually means "Righteous Lord"
Dominus Recti would be Ass Lord

I picked it up from Damien of South Park
A song that goes RECTUS! DOMINUS! plays when that debil kid is around.

i guess we now know why xebby stands in front of the mirror when he ... she ... whatever ... yoinks it.

annnnnnnddddd

this also means serpent's attraction to xebby is no longer so unholy. :)

Serpent
03-24-2004, 11:22 PM
Hey, what do you mean attraction? He's more like a mangy dog that I like to beat.

When he's not beating himself, that is.

about a year before the equation was updated to

xebby = volcano admim = machine phantom.

I don't even know who machine phantom is. I like Xebs better then volcano admin, he needs to get a new personality.

what if i told you i am actually a hot chick? I'd be intimidated by a hot chick that used Caligula as their avatar.

I have existed since the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am no man as I am all men and therefore I am....a god. I shall wait for the unanimous decision of the senate. -malcom mcdowell, caligula

probably one of the best-delivered lines in cinema. and gene's right -- any chick that quoted caligula gets at least two points on my scoreboard.

Xebsball
03-25-2004, 06:49 PM
you guys, its ok to feel intimidated by ladies sometimes
in fact, i am intimidated by ladies about 99% of the time, and look what a great grand HAPPY life i have
YAY im just jumping with the excitement of being me!!

red son,
why should the da.mned give a da.mn about the holy
and so why should the lifetime losers care anymore?
va and xebby are not the same - right - but they are parts from the same... pond... like a like a... lake of embodiment of ones life and existance
OH or you can say 2 faces of the same coin, i think its fine
