Hey guys, can any one squash this down small enough so I can use it as an avatar?

If so, thanks in advance. :wink:

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Seeing how my last (and only) avatar was a backlite piece, I don't mind the dark aspect of the new one. I think it adds depth to it on a lot of levels. Thanks again.

Ingenius.

However, you forgot to adjust it so it fits the 6 KB limit. As it stands, it's close to two and a half times larger than that.

I have Irfanview, which can be used to reduce color depths quite effectively with no loss in visual quality. That's what I used on my (rather creepy) avatar a few minutes ago :)
