Avatars and why you chose them

Postby meowlala » Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:37 pm

The name says it all. I choose my avatar to represent my feelings, in the current picture my cat has a broken bone :cry:

Because I love necromancers, and my name represents a powerful necromancer who has immortalized himself through undeath to remain as an lord for eternity.

Btw awesome topic :D

Mine is to show that I can kill J.T. quite quickly ( ssssshh Clownsareevil ;) ),
while I often here people complaining about how he is too hard.
I also chose it because it's very hard to make a screenshot at the exact
right time to really see him exploding, as I did here ^^

I picked mine because it looks epic :D
Although I can't make it bigger.It says the size can not be over 19 KiB,
anybody else have this problem, is it because of my crappy laptop?

Well the size can't be over that because of forum restrictions...
it's the same for everyone and the reason for it is to prevent long loading
times for forum pages (as you have to load the avatar images with it).

The size of an image greatly depends on its format and the program you
saved it with though. Bitmap files (.bmp) are very big... but even when
saving JPEG (.jpg) files with Windows Paint, the file remains quite big.
That's why I saved my avatar as a JPEG file with the free program 'GIMP',
but I am sure alternatives like Paint.NET or Photoshop will work as well :D

that's what i do, take a big screenshot, open it with PhotoFiltre freeware version to change image size(change either the width or the height, whichever dimension is longest, to 120 pixels), finally open it with Paint and save it to jpg
