I know, some honestly are worthless, but again as I told you... Some sigs were made for people, who did ask to use certain elements. Or in the case of the game signatures, I had to stay true to my biography of that particular character. I enjoyed doing that vector, even though my neck is still sore LOL. I wanted to learn to use the pen tool in Photoshop, thus I tried this one. Now I am working on an anchor to use in a logo

Some sigs and stuff I have been working on ... it's been a while since I actually did anything siggy related though. My try at photomanip... My try at vectorizing an anime image ... I think it's full metal alchemist... About 400 paths it takes ages.. This is my siggie on a forum of an RPG I play (with my character name LOL) Siggie for a friend, who is my captain in that same game Nother version for that same friend LOL (I didn't like this one .. I only made it because she is not too fond of gorey themed things .. but she too prefered the other one) Toying with polar coordinates in PS CS2 But this still is my fave ... I probably showed it before

In all honesty, the entire thread here is against trap's TOS. SO I am closing the thread right now.Software that is actually software you need to pay, you pay for it. Period. There is no such thing as obtaining paid software for free and it being legal.

Actually, both Trap and Xisto - Support 5GB of Bandwidth The correct info here is, both sites have MySQL and it's both the same amount, as long as you have sufficient diskspace you can add MySQL databases Mike, even YOU should know that trying to get hosted on both sites will get you banned from both, I've cuaght a few of those cases myself and pushed the ban button as well. I am hosted on Xisto, and I see no reason to actually say either one is better than the other. The service is the same, so are the features. The only difference is the forum where you post in. Xisto is more technically oriented, whereas Trap focusses more on gaming and photoshop. As mentioned before, trap is low key compared to Xisto. Personally (as admin of Xisto and mod here) I can tell you a few things. In Xisto, the mods and admins are far more stricter than here. For example short posts, here, it depends on the other posts, on Xisto it doesn't. A short post (a one liner) is spam, doesn't matter what it is about. Unless it is in a no-post-count forum, then I don't bother.

There is a way to purchase credits I believe, I never had the need to so I can't be sure. But in order to obtain that, you'll need to pm OpaQue or NilsC.

Honestly, I use Style XP (I tried to go for the Aqua theme with Icons) and it does slow down my pc, but I do have to say that there's a major downside. I installed a theme, Aqua - which is a Mac OS X look-a-like - and I couldn't get my icons back to normal so I had to manually sort all of that. I haven't tried Windows Blinds in ages to be honest. Maybe I should. What I found to be the most aggrevating part about Style XP is when you actually download a theme and install it. Ever noticed that it tries to install 2 extra SPYWARE pieces?? And you can not disable that. So Style XP didn't have my vote there. As far as theming Win XP goes, just make sure you have Plus! installed, which is a Microsoft piece and you can just unzip themes in the theme folder under Plus! and then you have themes as well, with all the bells and whistles from XP themes. But without the spyware hassle.

Well, I have to be honest here. I bought my pc online, but I did ask for verification of identity. Meaning, in Belgium all businesses (legitimate that is) need a BTW number (taxes), and through that number you can find their name address etc. So when that checked out, I did deposit some money to allow the order to go through, and to my surprise (I swear I thought it was a rip off) I heard back from that guy, and 5 days later I had my pc standing in front of me. Everything worked out fine, I had what I ordered (be it with an illegal windows XP on it - but that could be fixed, since I never paid for a license to him). So I had good experiences with buying online If you don't mind, you could write a review about the service etc. With their name and a link

Well, I can tell you that the EXACT same tutorial appeared on Xisto. So now, or you copied it, or the other person copied it... Which one is it?

SHE saw it -_-I am a girlie ... And I love it, I mean, it's not like all the other ones I've made, so this is special truly And a fire - fox for a firefox user? THat's just heavenly :PThank you Johnny

congrats everyone

The entire point was to not use brushes and keep it simple and picturesque. That was what my friend wanted.... Just wanted to let yall see that sometimes a brush is not needed to get a sensation across

Ok, how can Jesus win a war when he's not even born? Because before the creation of what we call Earth, there was no Jesus. Because he was born in the year 0AD. There were maaaaany millions of years before that, before his birth. In case you wonder about my nickname, yes I am a witch. And no, that doesn't make me whatever associated with what you call satan. I don't believe in satan, nor do I believe in the concept of pure evil and pure good. Everything is dualistic in its nature. While I try my best to respect all religions, I just can't shake the feeling that it's so easy to just blame satan, who to me is a fictional figure - a name given to something that does not have a "being" - . It's easier to blame something/someone else for everything going wrong in your life than to actually look within yourself and see where you went wrong and what you can do to change that. It's easier to say, she got cancer because she didn't live by the bible, it's her punishment. I strongely believe that every action we take has a reaction, be it "good" or "bad". The reason I feel that everything does happen for a reason is quite simple. I as a young child was abused well into my adolescent life, I don't blame "satan", nor do I blame a deity, I blame the one who did it, my dad. It was his choice and his action, not mine. But, while this scarred me for life, it has also contributed to who I am today, while I may not like every aspect of myself; I certainly do feel that I have done ok so far. So my question is... if all pain is caused by satan, why do children of 2 or 3 get abused? Surely this can't win "souls" for satan, since it's supposed to "win" you for it.

Use a honeypot (project honeypop - google for it) is good. But really other than using spamassasin which stops YOU from receiving spam, there's nothing you can do really. It's too late, the addresses are out there.It would help if you told us which domain, which DNS service etc.

It's nothing special, no brushes, just standard PS filters and stockphoto's rendered.

I KNEW I shoulda used the Science one - Brooks has seen it -_-Oh well, I didn't spend a lot of time on the one I submitted, it was too check how it would go.

I love Cisions sig, but my vote goes to Phyre, it's just a unique way of using that render in a pop up, which then adds motion to the sig... Yeah Phyre has mine. 5-3 (Cision - Phyre)

For all the reasons mentioned above, I vote for Biscuit too.Sorry snlildude.. But there's something off in yours though I can't pinpoint it.4-2

quite simple.READ THE RULES!You need to apply to get the hosting, which you've JUST done. It needs to be approved.

Thanks GMU... I like it, though I do agree with the other comments. And no, I didn't go blind But I like the render you picked for me If you see me that way, there's no chance you'll ever attack me in the AS LOL.Don't be afraid of PS, go wild, go bonkers, and blend, brush, bursh some more, play with overlays and differen blending settings.(something I use often is duplicate the render, increase the size of the lower layer with the render and then set the opacity to really low, which help soften edges and blend it a bit, of course you still have to use basic blending)But keep on going, you are seriously improving fast, so do NOT give in.. Keep working.

I vote for Johnny.I adore the mystery - look in the sig and the effect of the the scanlines being paused to let the text show. It's creative, sad, deep, yet all the opposite as well. It's simple; not overly complex, but ack, it's just good ok?So 0:7 or 0:8...dunno if Blaque's vote counts.Blaque's siggie is good, I like the text effect, but I feel the background is too birght and the render isn't. So the contrast render - background is too big. The sig lacks unity.

Thank you I love this one

Date sims eh LOLWell that's where I know Mint and Vanilla from.. :DANd I like the siggies, I really do

Here's Mine, I wanted to make a science/history one, but ran out of time

Real Name (optional): Kay MSN: Kay@telenet.be AIM: Hardly use it Email: moonwitch [at] skynet [dot] be Experience in graphics: I used Paint Shop Pro from version 6 Switched to Photoshop 7 about 5 or 6 months ago (recently - about a month ago - switched to PS CS2) Some Fireworks Illustrator in the beginner level. Flash - a little only (you use vectors so this is graphics too ) Those mini buttons Areas of expertise: Site Lay-outs, forum skinning (not just graphics but the code), sigs too I suppose LOL Banner graphics. Oh and avatars. Other graphics sites worked at(optional): nope sorry Past positions at other graphics sites(optional): see above Current positions at other graphics sites(optional): see above How much you can be on each day: enough to know I should be sleeping. It depends from day to day, but usually some 5 hrs at least, some days less though. How many templates/sigs/resources can you make a week: depends on the largitude of the project. If it is a full image site lay - out it can be a week or more even, if it's elaborate - this is with CSS and php or HTML included of course). Skinning depends on the mods etc. Normally one IPB skin a week. Sigs several a week, since it takes up an hour or less. Examples Full site lay-out -> http://other-net.com/ .. version 2 is in making so some parts are missing. But here's a screen shot Forum stuff IPB Gaming Ultimate Kayak Fishing Siggies My sig image LOL An older one with me and my sister... Linkie Linkie2 Banner/Affiliates http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ This one was for a friends wedding anniversary EDIT: forgot to add the mini buttons

The I am Pain text was actually more to voice a feeling than it had relation to the theme, although the graphic (render) used it one of a white chick with torns through her body sitting in a pool of her own blood.
