Does Dyre Straits deserve a special Avatar??

**Roadee** · Aug 15, 2003, 09:48 PM

I am sure that you all know about the " Russian roulette" thread in the Off Topic Forum. And anyone keeping up with it knows what it is all about and that it seems to be the most popular thread on DH. Everyone always likes to reach for the "unreachable" and in that thread it would be Zardon actually getting banned for a day.......with a special Avatar of course!!

Ah......to ban the site owner!! LMAO

Zardon finally posted in this thread.....the perfect oppurtunity!!

And then Dyre Straits posted after him..................SO.....let's take a little vote and see if Dyre should get a "special PRIZE" for doing this.

Dyre Straits · Aug 15, 2003, 09:53 PM

Do I get to vote?

**Roadee** · Aug 15, 2003, 09:58 PM

I guess so........but I am curious to see how this turns out!! And you may be surprised of all the people that will cast a vote!!

Brown noser.....

**Roadee** · Aug 15, 2003, 10:17 PM

We will end the Poll at 6 pm Central time (US) on Saturday, August 16th. Roughly 26 hours from now

And since this Poll booth isn't in Florida...........

Judas · Aug 15, 2003, 10:29 PM

.....i'll get working on the Brown Noser AVATAR....

Jeff · Aug 15, 2003, 10:31 PM

Since Dyre voted in this, I must of course assume he is Okay with it

. Judas: The avatar has to be max 120x120.

**Roadee** · Aug 15, 2003, 10:31 PM

Yep.......I do think that it is working out that way!!

really?..... i've been making them 128x128.....

Judas · Aug 15, 2003, 10:34 PM

BTW, that one BANNED avatar i made...will fit comfortably for an avatar... (made sure)

Jeff · Aug 15, 2003, 10:37 PM

well i know they will fit, but i just want to make sure they are not too big. I guess 128x128 is okay.

**Roadee** · Aug 15, 2003, 10:37 PM

Judas.......good thing this isn't the Russian Roulette thread.........you just double posted!!

Judas · Aug 15, 2003, 10:41 PM

roadee.... i know.... i'm aware... Cyborg, I figure as long as the "size" (in kb) is not much different.... if going from a 64x64 standard image... (usually no more then 5kb and around the 3.5kb) i've made the 128x128 about 5-6kb...some are actually 4.5kb.... The Banned one is about 7kb...

Jeff · Aug 15, 2003, 10:43 PM

it's not that either, it's just I think huge avatars are ugly. that's the reason.

lol

**Roadee** · Aug 16, 2003, 01:14 AM

We definately need more votes on this.........

Well, I haven't actually voted yet. I was just asking.

I'm wondering if I can exploit that vote/cookie bug and vote over and over and over again?
