    It occured to me that our grand old modding man rroyo has reached the coveted 1000 post mark (and did it without spamming his way there, mind you) and since I think we can all agree that the old chap deserves a little something for hanging with us so far, I bet you all know what I'm calling for! :)

    A custom avatar may be out of the question, unless rroyo specifically asks for one (what with him being Thorvald's identical twin and all) but all and any ideas for, at the very least, a custom title would be appreciated (again, if rroyo gives his consent).

    Anyway, congrats, man!

    Thank you Dark Elf. I damn near didn't make it. ('nuff said...) :roll:

    Although I would like to keep Thorvald, the idea of a custom title does appeal to me.

    A comment I made a few days ago seems appropriate: Poor Man's MacGuyver.

    If the other members here can thing of something better, Please! Speak up!
    Blinky's suggestion is not half bad. Technophile, eh...

    Is there a bigger version of the Thorvald image anywhere?

    Actually, I've been thinking of not only a bigger image, but a photoshopped version of it. What about a greyscale Thorvald put in a really elaborate frame, to give it that true steampunk feeling?

    Carbon-based Light Particle

    it has a nice ring to it.

    And for the avatar, a higher res Thorvald with a sepia tone photoshopped into the frame of the game's main menu. It looks very distinguishing.

    How about...
    "The one with the shit name"
    Or if that doesn't take you...
    "Shit Eater"
    Or maybe...
    "Bearded Cunt"

    In spite of the current policy to let Steampunk do whatever the hell he wishes, I banned the fucker and his entire IP-range. Sayonara, dumbfuck.

    Fucker must have posted from each and every computer in all of leprechaunland. It was a whole bunch of numbers.

    On a side note, one of the admins should include a "contact xyz if you can not access the board" message for banned innocent leprechauns visiting the board.

    By IP-range I meant the IP's Steampunk posted from, some 20 adresses. Don't think that will affect too many prospective visitors.

    In the odd event that it would though, it would be a good idea.

    Something like this?

    [​IMG]

    Fair warning, the Thorvald picture is a pain to work with due to the way it's cropped.

    Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. :)

    He needs a lower body though, might want to copy n' paste it from some other picture.

    Perhaps:

    Burnside worked nicely. The grey coat came out looking more like a haze but it's not bad, if I do say so.

    Nicely done! Now all we need to do is to decide on a decent title.

    Also, if you want to, you could try and make the white surrounding the frame transparent.

    EDIT: Or is it just this computer's fondness of a) not allowing Firefox to work 2) displaying transparency in IE as white.
