Thread split to keep the sig size sticky on-topic

each gold member was awarded the medal due to contributions to the site in their own way, each one had their own unique experience/skill that they could share

Zardon can't have me; he doesn't treat me with the love and respect I deserve.

mmm earning it sounds better then "buying" it, well guess i'll donate as well, gotta keep those forum servers running before i can earn anything

btw weird topic this, guess it's the upgrade, i replied to a news item but now it's my thread apparently, looks odd for a threadstarter.

Flash sigs arent everything, I knew I couldnt have one made within any reasonable amount of time because of the overwhelming demand for them I guess, so I tried to make my own, I was unsuccessful, but I change mine so often that I figured it wasnt worth the trouble, its been several months and I dont miss it, I recommend you try to create one yourself, and play with it and see if you like it. Its a steep learning curve, but if you qualify for one, it might be easier just to make your own. As for me, I have learned to do without it..lol.
Flash is cool, and there are demo programs out there that might help...enjoy

ava:
sig : http://www.digitaltalent.nl/wismerhill/pics/sig3.swf
view the sig in a 400x100 window to see intended result

@ Zardon;
thx for the update, this means it's possible to "buy" a silver and earn the gold, great ! i'll just try. All these olympics got me a medal rush

lol....can't say the olympics inspired me to do much except think that many Americans needed an attitude adjustment.....but anyways, back on topic

Don't think of the donation as 'buying' a silver medal....the medal is a little Gif with little significance other then to let others know you've payed for the bandwidth you suck down every day at work ...so i suppose think of the silver medal as the 'not a free loader' award....lol....but it sounds rather silly to talk about 'buying' a little gif file to adorn all your posts.
