James Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 [color=crimson][size=1]I was going to post this within the Otaku Avatars sticky topic, but I felt that it deserves its own topic because it deals specifically with avatar submissions. I've been getting quite a few avatars lately, and that's great. Keep 'em coming everyone :) However, I'd like to mention a few things about how I'd like them to be submitted. First, the avatars must be 50x50. Any larger or smaller will be rejected. Second, the avatars should preferably be in GIF format, but JPEG is fine too. No BMP please. Third, I have a specific requirement when it comes to filenames. Some people are sending me avatars of characters who I don't know...and so I have no idea which section to put them under. So if you're sending say...5 Digimon avatars. You'd put the filenames like so: Digimon1 Digimon2 Digimon3 Digimon4 Digimon5 Alternatively, you might name them like this: Pokemon_Pikachu Pokemon_Raichu Pokemon_Bulbasaur etc. Preferably, the [b]second[/b] way is best. That way, I know first and foremost where the avatar belongs...and second, what the name of the character in the avatar is. People who send in avatars with this format above are most likely to get theirs put up. Avatars which don't follow those guidlines will probably be ignored, as it's a big job editing the filenames of 50 avatars and then having to organize them. Thanks for everyone's submissions so far. :) Right now, I can say that I need more avatars in the following areas: Tenchi Pokemon Nintendo Sony Microsoft/PC (Microsoft and PC games are combined as one category) The rest are doing okay, but of course, too many avatars is still never enough ;) [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]The VB boards are custom -- most sites customize their VB to their own liking, as we have done. You need at least 500 posts to receive a custom avatar. 'till then, users are able to use any of the standard avatars we provide. The avatar you describe is fine. Most people here have seen fairly violent anime, so I do'nt think it's going to be terribly different to what anime fans have seen (especially since some avatars contain blood on characters etc).[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 [SIZE=1]James, did you ever get the avatars I sent you? I still need to know if they were in the okay format for when I send you new ones (the next batch will be pokemon I think.)[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Man X Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hey, isn't this the same as having custom avatars? I mean, the people that are submitting the avatars are submitting the ones that [i]they[/i] like and would like to use. Although it won't be unique, but it's somewhat the same as having a custom avatar. ~DMX~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Ok, I know what you meen, say you dont have 500 posts yet, you make an avatar, send it in for public use, then you can use it since its for the public, but considerate an award for letting other people use it!:D hey james i think you already got mine, but was it ok that i named it just plain krillen?
