Personal Photos

[Elum]

I am not an admin. But I am a Moderator, and I took part in assisting Abe Babe and Sydney with the new AWESOME UBB. I have noticed that most of the complaints are over the personal photos. Here is the reason we no longer let you use your own :

1) Many people were using wallpaper sized images just for there 60x60 pixel photo. It slowed down the forums a lot.

2) Most people do not own good photo editing software. They can't make there own.

3) A few peoples photo's were left as broken images. There are many people on the forums that do not have server space, and have no idea how to even get something like that started.

In conclusion, our Personal Photo gallery will be great, when given the chance. We worked hard to bring you tons of personal photos. If you are not happy with them, and would like to request one, all you have to do is drop me, Sydney, or Abe Babe an email. We will make it and have it online ASAP. I hope this clears up all the...confusion (?), and I hope you can all except the UBB.

I think the new personal photo is awesome. There are no complants here.

[Lantra]

i love the photos but i think it would be cool to have a picture of vykkers labs and a rat and a sea rex.

[iliodd]

Maybe someone should start an ongoing post where people can post pics and ideas for pics they want available as personal photos.

[Elum]

I would give anything if I could make a searex personal photo, but OI has not released any searex pictures at all. Same with the rat...

This can be the ongoing post for peoples request. Just ask, and we will see what we can come up with.

I'f It's too big, I'll find a smaller one.

[Sl'askia]

well i have three dragon pics i would like to use, two i have used before on the old forums.







if these are too big ill see if i can find some smaller ones.

[Elum]

Dragadon, I already made you a picture. LOL. I made it like an hour before you posted those. I will go ahead and make another dragon pic, and your starcraft one!

[Cloverfield]

Eventually we intend our gallery to grow to 100s of personal photos... not just Oddworld, but other games, anime, TV, movies... the possibilities are endless.

That's why we want feedback on the types of photos people want. I know I was going to make some starcraft ones the other day... but time got the better of me.

The only note I have to add, is that at this point in time, other photo categories will be limited to 5 of each type (i.e. 5 starcraft photos) although we may increase this or make exceptions if we find a need.

And of course requests have to be appropriate... as in they need to be of things that "everyone" can use... we would reject a request if it was a photo of yourself or something like that.

Hey elum, That is nice what you are doing with helping every one with their PI's.
Well now ill help you, i got together a couple of pics i think would be good for some people in the forums. they aren't exactly 60 x 60 pixels in size but a bit of canvas resizeing and croping might do the trick


Abe being electricuted. i think this one is sweet


Abe xmas i don't know but it is a good pic for a PI


mudokon drumming, this is a killa picture


There are some entern wannabes out there


OWI, who wouldn't want oddworld inhabitants as their PI?


ABE PLAIN, there are alot of pics of abe, why not add another one

They were just ideas and you don't have to use them. I don't need any because i got my little poopy picture. Im glad to help out and i can give you hundreds of PI's that i can give.

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

I'd like to see some WipEout pics. I'll see if I can find some good ones. Some Assegais or Piranhas would be great.

OK thats all for now

A double post 2 hours apart? That's gotta be some kind of record. But I'm sure it was accidental.

[ODDBODD]

I know, here is the story

Did the first batch of pics, uploaded them and stuck em here. Started on the second, mum wanted to use phone, disconnected, waited for half and hour or so, got back on and started to work on the last batch, finished, internet went on a melt down so i had to wait for ages for it to come back up, played AOE, got back on and posted.

ANYHOO i found out that you guys did a intern one for rich so the rest still stand!!

[Danny]

i LOVE the slig pic i have as my photo. it's really cool. i could never get the pics to work on the old ezboard.

well, i actually said something in favour of the new boards. is hell frozen over?

[Osiris The Fleech]

Oh my God!! You.. said something bad about the old ezboard! *faints*

[Elum]

I finished some more....Oddworld ones, 2 dragon ones, and a starcraft one. Syndney just has to upload them to his server.

[Osiris The Fleech]

Thanks a ton!

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

Here are some kewl lil' WipEout piccies that I made myself. Yes, made. All by myself. *looks smug* Some of them look a little odd because I had to modify them so they'd fit in a 60 x 60 pixel square. Hope they go down well.

Looks good Firestarter.

[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

Hey, thanks! I hope the admins consider them for inclusion in the personal photos gallery.

[Osiris The Fleech]

Those look cool. They should consider making those.

[Danny]

we need more slig personal photos. there are only three, i think.

[Elum]

ok.

[ODDBODD]

Hey what about mine, they are sweet. Put the slig toss and the electric abe one at least so i can use it for me

[Osiris The Fleech]

I have a question. Why have we put up Dark crystal photos, which to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) no one requested. Yet, I requested ONE starcraft photo, and I even gave you the link. That was a month ago. Why has a starcraft photo been consciously ignored? Here's the link. AGAIN. http://www.battle.net/images/broodwa.../fenixprev.jpg

I like dark crystal, the bit with the weird creatures that make that humming sound was the best
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

[Sydney]

Osiris, what is that picture of? We need to know what to make it. The format goes Origin - Descritpion. So a picture of Abe would be Oddworld - Abe. Your picture will be Starcraft - Whatever. So what's it of?

Oh, and the new forums haven't even been up a month yet.
