| You know, like instead of having your name in a different color. Why not replace it with a small 100px wide by 50px tall image that spells your name?
Nothing HUGE, you know, just something that I thought would be a rather neat feature. I saw this on a couple Browser games I enjoy, like Rule The Seas Something like that I suppose. An image that wont break the tables, but adds class and style or something. Edit- Oh shoot, you have to be a member to click the link. Well, just picture an image wit his name on it instead of characters spelling his name. If you catch my drift, I suck at explaining things like that. (Last edited by Nagis on 06-30-08 11:19 PM) |

| Yeah, if you want to do that, just put it in your custom title. Besides, using the name colors isn't a very good example, because you can't change them willy nilly; they actually mean something. | |||

Originally posted by Spartan I would like to think of it as Unused bandwidth. 
And the name colors are there for a reason, I know, but I am sure we all know who are the moderators are. Not that hard to differentiate them from the rest of the users. |

Originally posted by NagisOriginally posted by Spartan You're right Unused bandwidth that....I dunno...YOU don't pay for, neither do I but have you ever run websites? Ever? Do you ever factor in that bandwidth = money and that you pay for ever mb thats used. So hosting the images and having them per user here... |

| Actually, yes, I have. I am sure most users here remember Sairutoshrine? That old ACMLM board that lasted a year? Oh yeah, I have haven't I? Those were the good old Erk dog Days...so yeah, I don't think your attitude is really needed.
So I suppose the images on your layout, signature, and images in your post are all paid for by xeo? I would assume it would not take that much code to factor in just a small custom name that isnt even close to 10 KB big. Look, if it is a bad idea, it is a bad idea. But dont come jumping in biting my head off pointing fingers saying I dont know shit about bandwith and claiming you are running the shots here, I asked a simple question, and I expect a simple answer.

Originally posted by Nagis As a matter of fact the images hosted in my layout, and in your layout do not consume Xeo's bandwidth. Your lack of knowledge in this matter is disheartening. It's hosted elsewere on other websites using their bandwidth... And yeah 10kb isn't that big but with everyone downloading it over and over again if they clear their cache or if they move computers...*gasp* that 10kb can get larger and larger and with EVERYONE having one you'd have alot of bandwidth in and out... Sure not significant over a day or so but it all adds up.... (Last edited by Spartan on 07-10-08 04:32 PM) |

| Then what if we use an image host like say, photobucket?
And I doubt there are people out there who want to use my name as an image. Also, explain This. Xeo once offered me to use his host to upload my images Spartan. Chill out. (Last edited by Nagis on 07-11-08 10:56 AM) |

| Spartan, I know you disagree, and I do too(but I'll get to that in a moment), but please don't be condescending towards him, everyone is entitled to their own ideas, and if you think they made a mistake, you can cause a lot less contention by being less confrontational. Anyway, you main arguement has been refuted in a way to clearly show that Nagis is NOT being idiotic or ignorant.
If you disagree, that's fine, in fact, I do too, but your poin will go across a ton better if you say it in a way that doesn't try to put him down. That said, my only real problem with it is that it could easily be abused by members. However, if regulated properly, and if it has to go throguh staff approval like normal user names, I'd probably be fine with it. |

| Probably won't happen. I don't know how to code it (though I'm sure it's simple...), but my main reason, is that it could just look tacky. Especially on pages like the memberlist and whatnot, it'd probably stretch tables and stuff. I saw some AB out there did it before and it just didn't look good at all. |
