Placebo 29 Posted January 21, 2004 Okies well we've dragged on with this for long enough. First off we want to run a little competition to design the new VIP avatar, open to anyone and you can enter as many as you like, reply in this thread with your entries, if you need hosting Email the image to prs@ntlworld.com and I will host it for you, competition closes January 31st 23:59GMT, winning avatar to be decided by the moderators. Basic rules apply nothing offensive, max filesize of 100kb, remember the maximum size when in use is 64x64 so you'll want to make sure it looks ok when shrunk to that size Once the winning avatar has been chosen we'll move onto the serious bit, ie nominations It's pretty obvious that applying the "remove image tags when quoting" rule in this thread is pretty dumb (my fault, sorry about that) so in this thread only feel free to leave the image tags alone when you quote so it can easily be seen what image you like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 21, 2004 Forgot to mention there's no prize for winning other than the kudos of being the one who created the avatar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ozanzac 0 Posted January 22, 2004 My $0.02 AUD. A black and white soldier close-up pic to stick to tradition. Although there was a year when I never checked the forums, so I could be mistaken. Would someone mind posting the past VIP avatars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermind then, I'm thinking about something different altogeather. That and your mod Avatar is black and white. Batdog, that's too PC (Politically Correct) I still have a few one and two cent peices gathering dust in the coin box. last edit: Harnu's design looks good.

Placebo 29 Posted January 22, 2004 Are last years winners excempt from winning again, or can avon lady hog the troubleshooting award for another year? Â Â Â We discussed that and decided it wouldn't be fair to exclude past winners if they have continued the high standards which won them the award the first time, it should inspire others to try to match how past VIP winners conduct themselves on the forum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USSoldier11B 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I don't want to sound like an ass, but I was a little hurt last year when I didn't get VIP status. I've been a faithful poster for a long time and have always brought you entertaining topics. Anyone remember my therapy thread? R.I.P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
