My 1000th post!

[TuckerXE]

Woohoo! It's my 1000th post! I can't believe it... I should have started working on that new sig earlier so I could unveil it officially now. Anyway, I know this is a spammalicious idea for a thread, but I had to do something bigger than just a normal post.

[WolfmanNCSU]

CONGRATS, we have our second forumer to reach the 1K mark. What a glorious day for us all.

(and yet still no Front Page)

[SHNAG]

Congrats. I could of reached that high by now, but i don't post near as much as a i used to. Espically since i don't post on game threads any more.

[SilentDeath]

[Captain Obvious]

Wolf is not far behind!

[WolfmanNCSU]

Pretty close. I will probably hit mine today. Look out 1K club, I am coming in.

[TuckerXE]

< takes the bars off the door.

Come on in! Were you followed?

[Captain Obvious]

Yes by me! no get away with that bat! ahhhh *runs away*

[TuckerXE]

Ah, good old bat. They tell me I should get something more powerful, but it always seems to do the trick.

[WolfmanNCSU]

And now that we have that taken care of.......

I would like to announce my entry into the Elite League of Over Posters. So we now have 3 forumers with 1K posts, and still no front page.

HAHAHA

I LOVE IT!!

[Captain Obvious]

WTF!! Where the hell did you find that?? that is Frickin awesome! way to go!

[TuckerXE]

Find? No way, man - I made that myself. I downloaded the LXG poster, cut out the logo, and modified it. That's why I'm not happy with the font on the word posters. The P in LXP turned out pretty well, though. I've been looking at too many photoshop contests lately, and have wanted to try my hand at it. Here's one I made yesterday for the challenge "It's Christopher Walken's 61st birthday. How will he celebrate?"

I also made this:

My only suggestion, just make the text yellow in the child pic to make it easeir to read. You da man Tucker. Classic Simple PhotoShop skills.

[TuckerXE]

Good suggestion - I checked it out, and I agree.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Yeah, easier to read. Totally rocks!!!

[TuckerXE]

OK, you guys liked the LXP logo, so I made an avatar version (took like 15 seconds)... check it out to the left...

[8 Ball]

Tucker, I think you might have to give me a lesson about Photoshop. I just downloaded it (I feel sorry for all of you guys that actually paid for it) and I am totally lost.

I know right. That shit is expensive. I need to DL the newest version. And I feel the same way about Office 2003. That was a big $$$ saver.

[TuckerXE]

I actually didn't get Photoshop - free or paid for. I downloaded a program called The Gimp that does the same kinds of photo manipulation stuff. It's pretty sweet, and it's freeware. I also have Fireworks (paid for by my company), and I use it for things that don't require much manipulation of photos. I made my sig with Fireworks, as well as the "now you're scaring me" kid. I used The Gimp for the Christopher Walken and LXP things.

[8 Ball]

Never mind Tucker. Im learning some stuff on photoshop. I just made my new sig. I also made and avatar but when I go to upload it it says "Its not a valid GIF or JPG file" which is gay. Why does it do that?

[WolfmanNCSU]

Is the file size or dimensions too big?

[TuckerXE]

I had that problem the first time... but it went in just fine the second time. Don't remember what, if anything, I did differently. Avatars appear to be 64 X 64 pixels, but I don't know the file size restriction.

[8 Ball]

I thought it was 60x60 so I made it 60x60.

[TuckerXE]

Ah. Well, I made mine 64 x 64 and it's working, so... we know that size works, anyway. I don't know what'd happen if it were smaller. Guess it wouldn't work, according to your experience.
