Got an idea for an avatar or signature image for another member? Attach it here.

This one is 'universal' LOL!

Don, why should we 'wan't' to donate something so often personal and at the cost of much time and google, lol?

Sounds like a 'job library' to me, eh? (example: have 'avatars', send money) LOL!

Do YOU really know someone that's desparate for sig/avatar files that CAN'T google up some sort of usable item? Really?

Further, would not most individuals be more interested in using any sigs/avatar files they might have as 'trickle-downs' in either their own clans or as an inducement to nubies?

Don, your 'a good man', but I've got to ask, eh? Note that I'm not trying to down you, but more interested in the 'why' of this....

Because not everyone likes overhyped blond bimbos beach broads.

Anyone that can't properly size those images shouldn't be fiddling with custom avatars in the first place by the way hehe.

It's 2:51 March 27, and at this moment, I think Don's avatar choice is really cool :)

I could certainly create my own and have done so BUT I would rather have one that shows some quality to it. A nice quality custom one is something that my limited skills prevent. ;)

Ask and you shall receive. There are a number of people here that are pretty good with Photoshop. What would you like?

I'm not sure I could change from my avatar unless something really interesting came along - anyone have any ideas for Mantis?

Stick with that one Mantis, it's iconic to you.

Then again, being recognised is as good as it is bad some days hehe.

My old Les the Sarge 9-1 avatar is likely about as well known as well known is capable of being. But then some days I hated being well known too.

Well, as someone who has been involved in an official capacity with this type of scene since the beginning of the BBS heydey, I've learned not to 'piss in my own backyard'; meaning more or less that while rather vocal :D , I know exactly which topics that 'I have no opinion on whatsoever, and that's the party line...'

The gist of it is that I've managed to annoy virtually no one over the years - even those that I've had to 'put my hat on' for don't generally tend to hold it against me. So for me, being recognized isn't generally a bad thing...

Any of you old timers recall my avatar before I switched to the giant bug? :devious: Kewpie doll to the first one that remembers!

I like the one you have now.
Thanks! ;) Your new one is pretty cool too. I noticed you've been juggling them over the past so many months - you've had a couple good ones in there!

I spent a couple hours last year digging up every shot I could of a mantis, but I couldn't find anything that came close...
