Any good ideas for an avatar?

I wanted to use the StarCraft marine, but he was too big.

Resizing is your friend. Blizzards Starcraft site has the in game avatars of every unit and they will work and fit with minimal or no effort. At worst you need to cut of the edge, which you might want to do anyway.

I don't have the software. Would somebody be kind enough to do it for me?

My new title? Why don't you speak to Vympel? He finds it funny. :roll:

Actually, all the mods find it funny- considering we don't have the power to change people's custom titles. That's the Admin's job.

Oh! I hate to sound pompous, but could you make it slightly smaller? Perhaps like the average size of the one on the SC website?

If not though, I'll take that one with many thanks.

And by the way, if Mike thinks his "left wing liberal" crap is funny, he's got a long way to go on the road of decent humor.

Why don't you have a cry? Or call your mother, she probably has forgotten all about you by now.

You could make em bigger, though, considering the standard avatar size upgrade Mike did a few months ago.

Any ideas?

That doesn't make any sense. They're both less than 6kb and less than 100x100 pixels.
