    Just a point of clarification, I told Dark Elf to ask. It's the way it's been done in the past. You reach 1000 posts and we do the whole "are you worthy" thing. The only reason there are a few happening all at once is because it's been something that was neglected for some time so the n00bs are catching up.

    I was in fact hoping for something obscurely erotic in Swedish, but I suppose it wouldn't go well with your avatar.

    Alright, here it is. Due to it having a transparent background, it loses some of the fineness of the edges around the elf character, but it should look fine on a black and red background.

    This is the image, cropped, resized, and slightly tweaked.

    Here is the same image, with a sharpen effect added to the elf.

    And here is the image again, with a sharpen more effect.

    And this is how all the images would look on the red background.

    DE, your title should be: Darkest of Elves.

    DU, I think I would like to go with the HHGTTG Green Guy. I don't have the talent neccessary to make a decent one with transparency so that it doesn't look silly. It would be splendid of you to whip one up that doesn't suck whenever you feel like it.
    I would still need a title to go with it, but I can deal with veteran for now.

    unless someone wants to make title suggestions for DE and I

    What the fuck you talkin' about Willis?

    I wouldnt do that. Someone else want the honours? If you leave it up to me, you'll get this:

    Super Gay

    Well, either that or this:

    Itchy Scrote?

    And I am aware of the irony that I can resize and reduce those images and upload it but not whatever your Hitch-Hikers Green Guy thing is?

    ... and so it is done. Congratulations on your new custom avatar Baal!

    Somebody stop me. I think I'm losing control over this whole avatar thing.

    DU, the green guy Icairus is talking about is from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (you guessed it - that's what the acronym is for). Also known as the Cosmic Cutie, this is how he looks:

    Hotlinking is BAD!

    Here's another

    I'm sure there are images of higher quality out there, although I couldn't find any. Then again, anyone with photoshop skills better than mine could throw together something like that in a matter of seconds. I think it would fit Icairus. :)

    Possible titles would be:

    Catch 42
    A case of Catch 42
    The Cosmic Cutie
    The Galactic Cutie
    Improbable Lifeform
    Not Quite Human

    Now, as far as my own ugly hide is concerned, I think xento did a splendid job with the avatars. The one without sharpening looks best, and will fit really well. :)
    So, all there remains now is the question of what title I should have. I haven't got that many suggestions yet, but I know how hard it is to come up with something suitable for this particular theme.

    These are the suggestions I've received so far, from various sources. I've sorted them in the rank I'd like them:

    Darkest of them all
    Darkest of Elves
    Umea Eldar (funny that... Botsmark is just outside the city of Umeå! What a wacky coincidence...)

    Anyway... if nothing else pops up, I'd settle for the "Darkest of them all" title.

    Free for marriage next Sunday? :heart:

    It's there for good. I wouldn't threaten the admins with spam either. It's like threatening a cop with the knife that's in your pocket.

    Well, it seems I was too hasty in another thread - I hadn't seen this one. Bye Baal. It wasn't nice at all knowing you - in fact it was a pain in the ass.

    But check back in a week. I might have changed my mind.

    What? All that over an itchy scrote? All he had to do was give it a scratch. Besides, he said he wanted a custom avatar. Oh well...

    I say give him a week.


    Dark Elf: I'll put up your avatar tomorrow.

    I'm happy with mine :). He reminds me of Harry Potter when I'm scrolling quickly down a thread.

    I hate those Harry Potter movies. The acting by the main characters is so terrible. I cringe just thinking about it.

    I hate the concept behind those harry potter books. I mean I barely read the first three chapters of the first book before my nervous system shut down. 3 hours later I was awake and loathing the fact that a book about the entire world lifting one person onto its shoulders was the best selling book in the world. I really do loathe that character. The main concepts that disturb me are the way he is born superior to everyone else, that he doesn't have to work to achieve success, and the way he is just naturally good at almost everything he tries. Wrapping these concepts up in a package that appeals to, and fascinates chirldren from age 6 to 90 really dsgusts me.

    Call me a pinko but thats the way I feel.

    Baal doesn't really remind me of me, I did really stupid posts, not hordes and hordes of stupid posts. But when I saw the banned avatar, my first thought was "oh shit, it's me*" but then I saw the title, and relaxed. So I've got a question, since I'm fairly hated on most forums, and I caused a good deal of grief at one point in time, do you think that my repenting and being good now and all that is worth a custom avatar?** I've already got it in mind, it's the same one I use on all forums, so yea. Moo. Hell, I forgot what I was saying because my dad came in and asked me a question, so I'll just do the two note-thingies, and shut up.

    *I check the threads before logging in, if there is something worth replying to, I log in, if there isn't, I don't.
    **I doubt that I'll get a custom avatar, let alone the one I want, but since everyone else is bitching about it, I may as well throw my voice into the throng.

    Dark Elf: Done.

    Mathboy: You want a different title?

    Oh and next person to ask for a custom avatar that doesn't have 1000 posts gets banned for a month.
