What's that mean! xD

LOL!

Do you have LittleBigPlanet?
Unreal Tournament 3?
COD4?
SCIV?

Do, sorry, typo:
Do you play PS3?

They only have those jumping voices and the voice whenever Vent/Aile get hit. TT_TT They have the voices in Japanese, though. No voices in English.
I think you should get a DS Lite.

D= No one voted for it? Man... Ah well. Good to know that you've studied what was popular for that particular forum, so hopefully you'll fare better this time around. ^_^ I remember for a while that Zeromune had Megaman characters for his MSN avatar, though I think his personal preference was for Zero. So you're into the Megaman games now? I never played them myself, but they seem to be popular. Nice work on the avatar. Even better because it has lots of...GREEN!!! My favorite color.

Oh, and if you think about it, I wouldn't mind seeing the contest when it gets underway. You can send me a link if you feel like it, but you don't have to. I just wanna see what goes on in other forums when they do contests like that...and to also see what you're up against.

That's what the higher-ups seem to think. I can't wrap my head around all the technical talk, so hopefully once everything gets a tad bit more organized, they'll give updates in layman's terms so people like me can figure out what they have in store for the forums.

Yeah. The art is nice and cute, and they have voices. I don't think Haru can shoot, though. He can fly a little and swing his sword(s?) in midair, I think. However, it looks like you can get really lost in the game. :\
Hey, don't worry...My DS is kinda... errm, in a pretty bad shape now. ^_^;

Nah, I've seen bits of the gameplay. You can turn into Haru in ZX and hover around, I think.

I'm pretty sure he was in ZX and ZX Advent, which was for the DS.

From one of those DS games, I think. I remember that there was some huge mecha green bird.

That IS a Megaman avatar, right? *rubs eyes*

Yep. I think that's a good banner for your entry to the contest. I think it's a good size to have too, so I'm glad you kept it the same. Good luck to you!

Well, they're just in the planning stages right now, so we don't know when things are actually going to get changed up. It could be a while, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

hello Fate?

edo you play PS3?

Well, their loss on your first try. As for this one, I like how you're using a dark background. It makes the effects you used pop more. I do have one issue with it though:



That thing that the red arrow is pointing to should probably be taken out, or darkened so it doesn't stick out so much. It detracts attention from the center, which is where the main focus of the banner is at. One more thing: I would do another semi-transparent render on the left side as well, to balance it out and to also make that area not seem so empty.

EDIT:: Just noticed that the side border on the left side doesn't go all the way up to the top, but on the right it does. May want to adjust that as well.

Other than those tiny complaints, I would say that you're doing a fine job, especially considering that you're not really used to working in the confines of a rectangular area.

Yeah, it's going to feel a lot different once some of the features that I'm used to are stripped away from the site, but like you, I'll keep my mind open to the changes made, but hope that they find a way to keep the member interaction off the boards somewhat intact.

Hola!

Nice work! Great use of colors, interesting use of the different shapes in the banner, and great renders. The only thing I have a concern about is the semi-transparent image on the left side of the banner. I would make it a bit more visible. I've said this before, but if you can't think of anything else to add, then you're done.

Good luck to you when/if you enter!

Oh, and one thing: I don't know if you've read up on the forum maintenance thread, but there's going to be some possible changes made...and from the looks of things, it seems that these visitor messages will be one of the things to go. Just thought I would let you know in case you haven't heard yet.
