I like it, it really caught my eye for some reason. That is what you used for your avatar, well a small portion of it. ^_~

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#808080]I might as well explain, so that you don't get a distorted story. Basically, Shinji (who is a member here now, but rarely posts) was a staff member back in the day. Somehow he managed to get Adam's password (not that it was hard to guess -- I gave Adam a virtual slap on the wrist for that) and took over Adam's account. He made himself an Administrator and made several of his friends Administrators. And then, as you can imagine, the boards went to hell. Spam was everywhere, stuff was deleted, people's accounts were messed up, signatures were edited...you name it, they did it. I managed to stop Shinji and a few others in time (they were stupid -- they never took away my Admin capabilities :rolleyes: ), but it was like a chain reaction...people kept adding other people as Administrators. So it became a mob mentality, you know? Anyway, that's essentially what happened. All these other tales of elaborate hacking and such are bogus. Most people [i]don't[/i] know what happened. And most people [i]weren't[/i] there at the time. It happened late at night and only very few people were around. Very few. So that's the basic story. And, partially as a result of this, we moved to Virtual Bulletin (we were formerly on UBB) and we moved to v3. So here we are now, with over 4,000 members. Had we not had to "rebuild", I think we might have 6,000 - 7,000 members. But in a way it was a good thing, because it gave us the opportunity to rethink security and to reconsider the operation of the site. I think v6 is our most accomplished version, because we've been able to actually add more than one skin ([i]finally[/i]) and we have a much more organized staff structure. There are still plenty of things I'd like to do, of course. And some of my own ideas and goals are limited by the availability of technical staff. Even those that I have are very busy themselves, so it's hard to find someone who is dedicated to OB on a constant basis. But, not withstanding those issues, I don't know where this site will go in the future. For once, I really don't have any longterm plans for OB. I'm happy with where we are. Anything we add now would just be peripheral in nature (not that we won't add anything, of course). So, for the most part, I'm happy to stay on v6 (and various modifications of it) until the next big forum technology is available; either Virtual Bulletin 3 or something entirely different. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] When I came on the next day and saw all of the spam ect I couldn't believe it. I remember it so well. Its strange to look back at it all. It wasn't really that long ago but yet it was. OB is really what got me interested in forums in the first place and its still my favorite boards. OB truelly does have a [b][COLOR=blue]c[/COLOR][COLOR=orangered]o[/COLOR][COLOR=red]l[/COLOR][COLOR=green]o[/COLOR][COLOR=deeppink]r[/COLOR][COLOR=purple]f[/COLOR][COLOR=sandybrown]u[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]l[/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]l[/COLOR][/b] history, and still is. ^_^

The little squares seem to pop out, like zooming in. I like..

Wow, thank you everyone. I will color it. Thanks for pointing out the tear detail GinnyLyn.. ^^;;

This is my own version of how Alex O'Connell from The Mummy Returns would really have acted like when his mother died. :( Poor lil Alex...

I agree with Juu. [I]Thats[/I] my favorite too.^^ Its so clear and crisp, and I like the font.

Meh, nothing special. I just wanted to do a Wind Waka banner, no amazing effects or anything. ^_^

Thats much better.. That aveh I like. ^_^ Except the font for 'intelligence', which has been mentioned. I also like the new sig. Its just as good in my book, the animation I'm not to keen on though. :/

I don't like the blurryness, or the color.. I think it should be more green. When I think of aliens, I think green. So I'd give it a 6/10.

I absolutely love it! Theres just something about it that lures me in. I love the idea of the zoomed in eye. Its very clear aswell. The text doesn't really bother me but I guess it would help if it were clearer. 9/10 ^_^ Edit: Silleh me just realizing you posted a newer version.:rolleyes: I like the scan lines but I perfer it without them. Are you going to use either?

I love birthdays.^^ In my family we have alot of September birthdays, including mine and my brothers'. My grandma is the only one that lives in the same state as me who does though. ¬_¬ Hers is 4 days after mine, my brothers' is 5 days before mine. ^_^ Its fun though. When we where younger we had it combined a few times. Now we usually have family ect. over. I love decorating for birthdays, especially my brothers' because him and I like alot of the same things so its easy, same with shopping for him. We usually have cake and dinner. Last year I had chocolate cake and Chinese food, mmm.. :tasty: My favorite part is the realization that it [I]is[/I] my birthday, like in the morning, presents, and family. 5 months from tomarrow I'll be eating cake and opening those presents.:excited:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by PiroMunkie [/i] [B][size=1]Heh, he is actually very much based off Señor Diablo from the [u]Johnny the Homicidal Maniac[/u] and [u]Squee![/u] comics by Jhonen Vasquez. Our body structure is very similar, so I just pretty drew him more human-like and with my features. This is not really my best work, and I was not really trying for it to be. This is just a little fun thing. The main point of it is Pearl with Asuka and I, so I did a somewhat half-assed job on the other kids. ^^; Though, I always seem to run into trouble with Asuka's face. o_O[/size][size=1]Thank you very much. :p[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] I KNEW IT! Heh, I had a feeling thats where you got it from. I know someone who has it. Its a good picture, freaky, but good. ^_~

The banner is quite nice, but maybe make the text a bit smaller. The sig is my favorite though. Its diffrent from most of your work, yes, but it fits the theme well. I love the colors you used and how you used them. The avatar I don't really like. It would be fine if it weren't animated. :/

I don't really like the size, too big. Thats just me though. Aside from that I really like it. The colors on the right blend very well. The guy in the backround stands out a little too much though. 8/10

Lassy! Heh, very nice. You should draw the body now. ^_^

[b]Who was your first kiss?[/b] Boy: Josh, old boyfriend [b]How old were you?[/b] Me: 13 Him: 14 [b]How was it?[/b] Strange.. [b]What were the circumstances? (Where, Time, etc)[/b] School, at my cousins locker, around 12PM. My cousin was basically who got us together and told him to kiss me. He almost got my teeth though because I wasn't ready.. He just kinda came up and kissed me. o.o [b]What was your Worst/Best Kiss?[/b] Hm.. That was probebly my best and worst. Though it was sloppy ect, I was so happy afterwards. It was obvious it was his first aswell.

Its alright. I don't like how the picture is positioned or how its just a rectangle within the banner. Its too obvious and stands out. Maybe blend it in more or something. I like the qoute though. 6/10

I like it, its very good. The only problem is the skinnyness. She isn't a twig.;) The shading is very nice though. 7.5/10

I really don't like this one Chris.. Its way to pixely(as mentioned)and Ruroni is Rurouni. It all looks rather sloppy aswell. :/

Shank you Juu. Heres another. I was just messing around.

Welcome back, where've you been? I like the upper portion, the colors are great and I like the design but the lower portion doesn't fit atall, as TN said. Maybe if you change the color of the bottom, or get rid of it altogether. 7/10

I like it, its very well drawn. The hair looks fine to me but the face bothers me. :/ 8.5/10

Yeah that is pretty plain... I do like it though. I like the lil flame thing alot for some reason. ^^; 7/10

I'd have to agree with Neph. The font is also to bold. :/

I wanted to see it so bad, but I never got too. I heard it was good. Whee.. Martial arts! ^^
