the new sig is looking pretty good. i dont think that that guys goatee goes well with his long hair (nothing you can do about it though). but then again i dont really like anime (thats anime right?) so you dont have to listen to me. other than that the sig looks good. that thing in the middle is cool and the text looks pretty good overall.

beat me to it. i agree that bevel and emboss is often not the way to go. and if you really want to use bevel and emboss, try toning down the size. try some different fonts, lose the bevel, and lose the outer glow on the images and text (or at least tone them down). i am kind of just repeating what has been said, but try it and see how it comes out. you may really like the effecets.

usually what i have seen to be very popular is blue. but as long as it looks good, i dont care what color it is.

even though he does look like a total freak i dont think its fair to judge someone just on their looks. i am not saying this because i like him, because i do not. i know a lot of people think that he should have gone to jail but many are so disgusted with what he has done with his life and the way he looks and they use that dislike of him for their reason to want him in jail. i also understand that not everyone believes this but there are many that do. i never did much looking into the michael jackson case and do not know too many of the details. with all those charges i am a bit surprised that he was not charged for even one. but you must remember that the jury sat and listened through the entire trial and went over the evidence over and over again. hopefully they made the right decision, but you can never tell unless there is enough information. anyways, one is innocent until proven guilty.

usually i really dont like the popup sigs. that is because they almost always do not look smooth around the edges. but yours actually does look pretty smooth. i also like the background of the sig. the blue/purple color fits well with the render. nice job.

ive got sbc too. its okay. i had some major problems when i first got it and was making a serious search to switch to something else but the problems have gone away and im sticking with it for a bit longer.

i like the second one better. i like how it has more color. i dont usually like just plain black/white/grey backgrounds. on the color one i dont really like the curved thing on the top (the thing that is not in the one with the non-colored background). the text looks nice and it goes well with the picture. overall it looks pretty good. nice job.

make it a little bigger and easier to read. other than that, it looks good.

i agree about the neon. i think you need to tune it down. i basically agree with everything that has been said. but the car manipulation does look better than the actual one.

not bad. i think that you should not have smudged the edges of the sphere thing on the right side and blurred it. try leaving it as a 'sharp' image and then just blend the outer edges into the background. other than that it looks pretty good.

aaahhhh! my eyes! the second one reminds me of those annoying ads that flash at you.my suggestion is say no to animation. sometimes animation does turn out nice, but often enough it doesnt. especially if you are just beginning to make sigs and other graphics, leave out the animation. i think its just better to get practice at making the sigs look good when they are not animated.the second one i do not like but the first one is not that bad. i like the background much better on the first one. if you do want animation, at least slow it down so its easy to look at. just keep practicing and look through some tutorials and your stuff will improve a lot.

im suggesting that there should be a limit that your credits can go into the negatives. a while ago i was really busy with school, sports, and everyday stuff. during this time, i did not have much time to get online and i stopped going to this site for awhile. now i am back and want to get my site back up so i can try some things. the thing is, my credits are way below zero. currently im at -31 hosting credits. and you need 5 credits to get your site back up (i think its 5, not sure).i was thinking that it might be an okay idea if you put a limit to how far your credits can go into the negatives incase this kind of situation occurs or something else where people just dont get to this site. maybe have the limit even be at -15 or so. this way people will still have to make up for when they were gone, but do not feel overwhelmed if their points are really far into the negatives. i want to get my site back up but im going to have to do a whole lot of posting to get my points back up to a reasonable value. i think that it might be a good idea so people do not feel so overwhelmed about returning if they have been away from the forums for a long time. i may be wrong but it may be a good thing too.

i really like the layout of your site. it is very clean and simple. you also have some very nice photographs. keep up the good work.

hey thanks for the link. ill probably read through some of that in a bit.

mine is also the same. even though my account has been suspended due to lack of credits for awhile. maybe its judging Xisto... wierd

please post again when the site is back up because your account has been suspended. I would also like to see it.

your site is ok. i would recommend adding more color if you can. and your animated ads are annoying. nevertheless, i do like your design but color would help.

i play tennis but i dont really watch any of it on tv. maybe ill watch a little bit of it but it does not really matter who wins to me.

my suggestion would be just to post a link to the screens. anyways, the screens look pretty good, but how do they look when you actually play. like a normal in-game screen with the gun in your hands. personally, i am waiting for battlefield 2 to come out. the graphics look excellent in the game as do the gameplay videos. i really do not spend much time playing games but that is one of the few i actually want to have. i will be getting it when it comes out in mid-june.

i dont see why so many people like it. to me, its just another one of those modern crappy cartoons. there are way to many of those today. but thats just my opinion.

i think for most people, including me, that the favorite would be face to face talking. it is easiest to understand what people mean this way. like sometimes on the internet people will say something but you might interperite a different way than it was meant to be said because you cant hear the tone of speech.

the sig is okay. the background and blending is pretty good. the border does not go at all in my opinion. also the text could use a bit of work. to me, the "always number #1" catches more attention than tracy mcgrady. i would think that you would want it the other way around. try and make the name stand out more.

its ok. is it just random stuff or is it actually supposed to be something?

you didnt check the batteries? thats the first thing i would check. hehe i also have a similar problem. I got some underbody lights put under my car a bit ago but i havnt been able to really use them much. you can use a remote and change the color of them or have them blink or do all sorts of cool stuff, but i havnt really learned how to use them completely. all ive really done so far is turn them on and off a few times to show them off. the other day, i was at a friends and i turned them on. when i was ready to go, i tried to shut them off. for some reason they wouldnt. not only is it illegal to drive with them turned on, the colors my lights were stuck on were red and blue (cop colors). The thing i dont like about them is you can only operate them with a wireless remote, there is no switch directly connected to them that i know of. i have absolutely no idea why they wouldnt turn off. i replaced the batteries in the remote and searched what i could for any loose wires or anything. nothing worked. so i ended up unplugging some of the lights. so now i am going to go back to the person that installed them soon and see what the problem is. it makes me so angry

bullying really isnt a problem at my school. before high school there was occasionally a bit of bullying but in high school there is hardly any. some people tease others but it is nothing serious. im glad i have not had to deal with any bullies.
