Building a Community

[SenniTreborius]

Sorry, just quoting to get your attention. When I post in a thread, I get kicked back to the main board/ homepage (if these are the right terms). How may I prevent this from occurring.

There's a setting somewhere in your user profile to make this the default.

Thank you, you definitely a gentleman and a scholar.

Edit:sorry I can't find it!
EDIT2: Yes I did and changed my look to black ops, much better on the eye. Was seeing blurred rainbows after one session last week. Now I'll try to change yahoo and Firefox look. Might as well make some effort to save my eyesight.

I'm reminded of something I cherish very much about our community here at AC2 - we do a lot to entertain and educate each other; when people are willing to chill out and work at getting along, our differences make us MORE valuable to each other, instead of being something to fight over.  This is an OT, after all, where atheists can and do discuss religion with people of profound faith - and have conversations instead of arguments.  Respect!

Many of us, myself definitely included, are touchy geeks who struggle to control our moods and get along with people.  We generally manage that very well in this environment we've built together.  Most of the rest of the internet could really learn from/use what we have right here at AC2.

That makes me very glad and proud.

The above bears repeating, from time to time...


-But my real reason for posting today is to point out that everyone who wants can have a custom user title to go between your handle and your post rank.  I've been having some fun lately teasing Flux and Geo with silly user titles - until I finally hit on something each liked, at which point I've stopped for now.  Just ask.  Funny is a plus - something that naturally ends in "Citizen", or whatever your post-rank, is a plus.  If some sort of little logo is desired, like Uno's jack-lantern or Green1's supervillain skull, it would be more work for me, but not much, to create a usergroup just for you - coming up with something that amuses me is a plus.

-If you want something but don't know what and don't mind being teased, let me know, and I'll try to come up with something silly.  Try to be thicked-skinned if you go this way; I'll change anything instantly if the victim objects.  I will eventually find a keeper title if we do it this way...

I'm here to make you happy, in hopes you'll hang around and talk to me.  Everyone posting at AC2 at all is a volunteer, and contributes something that matters.  You all matter, and all are worthy of respect and reward - and this it a small goody I enjoy handing out, not least because everyone who wants it deserves it; we're nothing without you, pal.

Just ask.

I still want a logo......

You a computer artist, m'man - make something, and we'll see.

Usergroup: "BU's Apprentice"
And I'll try to come up with something interesting. I haven't made a smilie in a really long time, but this needs no animation anyway.

[Buster's Uncle]

...Animation is an option - it'll take gifs...

If it were to be BU's apprentice, it would have to represent you.

[Buster's Uncle]

If you're in a one-man usergroup, BTW, you can have your handle display at the top of the page and in Who's Online in a custom color.  Flux, you can pick your color by picking/customizing in GIMP and telling me the number.

I think the thing I hate most about computer art is not knowing what to animate.
Like, I really want to make a 15-frame animation for my logo but I have no idea what I should do for it.
And [184] dark blue is a nice color.

[Buster's Uncle]

[184] does not compute.  Check the attachment...

0000b8 it is.  The HTML notation is the number the forum will want when you have an icon ready.  (28x35 is ideal, but wider would be okay, if needed.  Keep it down to 35 pixels tall, though.)

Maybe if you added a Robin mask to the attachment before you reduced it?  Think of something funny...

I'll think of something a little bit funnier so you can look like a enlightened teacher.
