kristina this is such a good idea! i put it in my sig.

^ it wasn't my idea.

but i sure as hell wish it was

it was imjustagirl

props major to her

i'm just teh silly person who makes the banners

Ooh Ooh. I just saw this thread, forgive me.
I really think this is a good idea.

I agree with it I thinks the idea is sweet! but I only have 6 days left of my Trial of Adobe Photoshop CS2 I need help to get it back anyone know>?

^You can't get it back. You can try downloading another version of Photoshop.
Or better still, buy your self a copy.

^ Really.

....and did you realize this is like teh completely wrong thread for that shtuff?

Seriously.


Ok. Friday night, i have no life, YESSS for more banners.

I added that signature up there too! I <3 you! You are soo awesome for making these!

It's no big..really I didn't go to the game..just..oh blah

Besides. I can't find a good pic to vexel.

YOU PEOPLE ARE GENIUSI [plural of of genius..lol..me & my quirks] but i'm on the brigade!

To actually get back on topic on disscussing this, how should it be presented. Like the xanga scripts, or like the layouts on the frontpage? Also, we should have a rule, that you have to save the picture and upload it to your own server, that way it doesn't steal bandwidth. That's just what I think, any more suggestions guys?

^^ i think it would be a better idea to have it sort of like when submitting a tutorial and have the image uploaded to the xangans server.

^^ yeah that's what I was thinking. But if we get a lot of images, it could make this site run crappy, and more exspensive to keep up for Junsun. So maybe we should make it so they can't use this site as their host?

You would have to find a pretty decent place to host the things. Xangans runs pretty slow...But hrmph..

I was thinking something along this line.

Icons/Avatars [whatever they're called nowadays]
-Anime
-Emotion[al]
-Nature
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah

Wallpapers
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah

etc etc etc

We'd have to come up with pretty broad[sp?] categories.

Celebrities...Nature...Emotional...Uhm. What are the layouts sorted by?

Abstract
Anime/Comic
Emotions
Games
Minimal
Miscellanious(sp)
Music
Nature
Objects
Seasonal
TV/ Movies


-------

Right-o. So people wouldn't be allowed to use xangans as their hosting place, they would have to find their own picture hosting place, which isn't that hard to find. WE could put up a link for the Big Book of Resources, they have a lot of places. Plus, if we have it like the tutorials, it would be easier to put out the credits. (brushes, etc.).

Well maybe they could download it from the xangans server, but then have to go host it at imageshack or wherever.

no hotlinking.


cause doesn't hotlink make it go really really slow?


---
Categories: I think we should sort everything through those categories. Just to keep with the flow of how things work @ Cb...

So, are we having a separate sub-forum for every category? As in a a forum for icons/avatars and sub-forums for their categories (Objects
Seasonal
TV/ Movies)?

You know, you saying that made me think, that's a heck of a lot more forums...

...hmmm

Or maybe there'll be a whole art design forum and sub-forums for icons, wallpapers and stuff?

That would be way too much clickage. My fingers hurt from all the clicking I do.

..not really but still.


That's a ton of clicking.

Do pretty much what sarah said.

ART DESIGN FORUM >> ICONS >> categories



Hm. That looks good to me. I'm just wondering how they'd look. Cause usually the things have individual threads, and that'd be tons and tons of threads.

I think you could have a cateogory thread. Like a Nature thread!




ohh...that sounds somewhat good to me.


++ And whoever they pick for mods better be good. Or else...I shall show my hacking wratch!

..not really..but I will get pretty dern mad.

yeah but if cb is going to offer it then it should be uploaded on a reliable server >_> like its own.

Trueee..

But what if we disabled hotlinking? Where they could download/copy&paste it and then save it to wherever?

lmao..your avatar cracks me up.

THat is such a good idea! Make tha categories threads! Then the get looked over like the scripts and tutorials.

And then mods BETTER be good, I'm going to be uber mad if they aren't! Haha, I'll apply for a staff position when I get enough posts.

muahhhahah

yeah, theres probably a way to disable hotlinking to a certain folder. its just not a good idea to have others host it cause the link will most likely become broken

I'll apply. I spink i have enough posts.

Heather:
ah true. Didnt think of that.

Your avatar is still making me laugh. No offense but you look like a blowfish. lmao..but that was prolly the point..blah

LOL thanks.
yeah i was going for the retarded cross-eyed blowfish thing :)

you've acheieved.

so back onto subject.

Hotlinking.

Yay or nay?

Hmm...I vote yay. It would only be for the signatures and icons anyway. For the wallpapers you don't really need a link for it.

Heather: You signature is so cool! [/spam]

Ah that's what I was thinking.

yes...her sig is teh bomb. lol

Er. So is this gonna work or not?

^I hope it does. I really want this to happen.

Last I knew...

Shauna [I'm soo sorry if I spelt that wrong] pm-ed Micron with the idea..So. We dont know...until we hear some type of response.

Good. Maybe he'll check his PM's soon. If this works, maybe all the design staff should be in charge of it. I hope they're still picking more design staff.

ya that would be so cool! I would love to have one! but maybe it should throw in some kinda restriction? Like you can only take as many as you give?

I'll love that! Im so gonna submit one!

A restriction? Then what would be the purpose then? Some people, i'm going to be a bit blunt, have no artistic-ness in them, so it's just easier to use whatever they can...

I know at least 5 ppl at the moment who are going to give a buttload if this thing ever gets running....I"m one of them.

..But i really dont think a restriction would be a good thing.

and Alvin: We have a design staff?...I prolly knew this but..hm. Psh. If this thing goes through the first i'm gunna be doing is filing out an application to be a mod. This thing has become like my baby. [Shauna, it's yours too. It's your kick butt idea.] I just want to know its being runned in good hands.

I wasn't meaning like one design staff by it's self. I was meaning the staff that has to do with designing like Myspace Staff, Xanga Staff, Blogger Staff, and Live Journal Staff.

But those are like completely different.

We should fight to get our own mods for this..section...

Common people make icons and other shtuff, while those pep's make layouts.

Well. Crap. I do both.

Nevermind....

But i really want good mods for this section.

Yes Kristina, that is how you spell my name, and it's my baby too. =)

I haven't heard from micron yet, so we are still stuck in the same spot. =/



Same

urhid;safdua

he needs to check his pm's.

or else i'll start sending dirty ones. ha ha.

I've made a buttload of icons...and i'd like something to happen to them.

I don't even know if he has been online to check his pms, and school has started. He's probally busy.

Oh yeah.

I forgot about that.

Damn school. Roar. But this weekend I have no homework, since of the hurricane.

Funny how that one happened.

But..hm..I shall make more icons I suppose....right when I get done organizing the buttload of brushes sitting on my desktop.

OOh, I have an idea! Like Art Staff or? Art Design Staff!

^ Sounds jolly to mee.

Or... Roxanne can open back up the design staff?

^ Design staff isnt something that can just be opened up...you have to already be qualifed for it and preferrably be a lj/myspace/blogger/xanga staff that is promoted to design staff.

Oh ok.

But what about those that are qualified..just aren't of a staffing position? Shouldn't their work also count?

I was wondering the same thing. Because you can have great skills in all of the journals and not be a mod.

+ it's not just the journals that count. It's their work. Like icons..or wallpapers..the stuff we're planning to put into the categories if this thing goes through.

That reply seemed a bit "bitchy" but I didn't mean for it...it's just..blah

Once again, take note of the bold


And I dont see a need for a Art Design Staff when a regular Design Staff is capable of supervising it. I do like the idea of Art Design forum....I think it would be great.
