-s/<itzo- Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Originally posted by irulual Maybe I'm not doing the math right, but the comparison you are making is 40,000 bytes to 35-40 Megs. If I am doing the mathc right, what you are saying is that somehow, .04mbs is comparable to 35-40mbs. Please let me know if I am doing the math wrong, or if I simply didn't read the post properly. its my fault sorry. i meant 35-40 kb i just get those confuse sometimes. again sorry for the missunderstanding.

Ewok Hunter Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Originally posted by Lynk Former Same could be said for the tags... sure they're offsite... but it still takes time to load... there is an option not to automaticly load tags in your user options. i have an idea! how about being able to buy a hosted smile:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 what exactly do you mean? it sounds like a good idea, but i'm nto entirely sure what your saying, do you mena buy and existing one, or have an admin upload a custom smiley (that everyone can use, but will be associated with you somehow). it sounds good, but please explain more. and 100 by 100 pic size with 40000 bytes sounds a lot, but 40000 bytes is 40 Kb (which is what i think -s/<itzo- wsa trying to say.)

Ewok Hunter Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 the custom smiles, but it would have to be small to avoid slowing down the servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 yeah, that would be a good idea, smilies to personify ourselves on the web (they don't even have to be pics, maybe symbols that people know us by or something.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 we kinda already have that custom smiley, lotsa ppl got their smileys uploaded by admn. kjo, for instance, got met to upload ":xp:" and ":whacked:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 yeah, but they also used to not charge for name changes. anyway, putting it in the store would let the users who aren't even aware that there is a main feedback fourm the idea to make thier own smilies. and who knows, maybe there are some great graphic artists out there who have untapped potential... or something. anyway, paying for it might encourge the admins to be a little less stingy about which smilies they approve. (out of all the smiles in that one thread that someone, i think it was zbomber, made about smiles only a few were added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 i think you should be able to buy with your credits the ability to browse the forums and website without ads or pop-ups tho i dont think anyone will be able to eaise that many points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 if we had the resources (and the money) to run this site without ads, i think we would for free, they just get in the way. the credits are their to buy privilages, not get rid of annoyances, that's what teh admins are for.

-s/<itzo- Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 its not like all 45,835 members will have it. and a great amount of that total, the members is not even active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 like i said... for arguments sake. and ... are or are not active doesnt take away that the avatar is saved on the sever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 It's important to remember that a lot of those members use the default/gallery avatars which are not stored in the database. What you're basically asking is to buy avatars double the size of the norm...it isn't too far fetched...I'll look into it this weekend, and perhaps enable it on a trial basis.

Mex Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Please dont put 100x100 avatars on, I do not want it that way at all, it will make LucasForums look rubbish. And I am not to keen on this 'signiture image' option either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewok Hunter Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 ^ with at least a partial refund i hope anyway, i've been thinking about the smilies idea and if it were a seperate option it would save someone without a website the money of buying an attachment and then being turned down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 More than 2 points or whatever it is per post..... or Have like a prize drawing thing. A computer will randomly slec a person to win 500 - 1000 creds. Or depending on how often you would do it, you could lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 hey ewok - you can go to http://www.mysmilies.com and use image tags to put a smiley into your post. They have hundreds there!! So..why would you want to buy a smiley if you can just put it there through image tags? I want to see what bigger avi's mean. For people like me - I'm personally not going to buy a bigger avi and I'm sure most people won't. Just the avi peeps like sivy b. As far as paying to post a thread....Ack. That's what moderators are for - to control the evil and retarded threads. I think you should be able to customize the colors of the forum. Kinda like on msn...or you know..instead of this purple we can pick our own colors. I also like the glowy name for the um what'cha macalate.. crap the thing under your user name. But I think that should be earned through post count. The "rating" thing could work out but I don't think people are really aware of it. I think that it could work well. Edit! You know on pogo.com you earn points by winning and then you pay some points to be entered in a drawing. I don't really remember what you win. But maybe we could have drawings for things like bigger avatars or etc. That would control how many people got bigger avi's or things like "mod" for a day or what have you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I would really like a refund for my new glow... And I want it taken off, I do not really like it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Originally posted by Flanders I would really like a refund for my new glow... And I want it taken off, I do not really like it very much. I like your glow. It really goes well with your avatar, which is also terrific. But I agree it should be possible to take your glow, italic name or whatever off, if you don't like it.
