Where is a good place for me to search for an avatar and sig

Post #1

I'm not sure of a place to look for avaters and sigs that fit the guidelines of this forum. I love horror movies which makes this a bit harder. I'd like to find something that I would like that wouldn't violate the rules. Any suggestions?

I downloaded some graphic editing software, grabbed some pixels from here and there and rolled my own.

The Bible is a rich source of suitable material for a signature. Proverbs, Deuteronomy (kidding!).

I made my own because "searching for an avatar" is just short for finding copyrighted material and using it without permission. But if you really want to "find" something, I suggest browsing wikipedia pages and looking for the images that are in the public domain; then you could crop and re-size in a word document.

On some of the forums I visit people can ask someone who has the skill to make them a signature, maybe we could do the same thing here? Some people might want to show off there skills and be willing to help others out. As for avaters, usually I would view a site of free avatars and ask the person who made it if I can have permission to use it even though it's seemingly implied that it can be used without asking. I like to play it safe though.

I'm not knowledgeable on how to make my own but maybe I can try to learn. I'm motivated to make something.

Horror?

For a horror sig, I suggest, "I do".

Good luck in your quest.

I sit in shame for not having noticed this sooner. Well done.

I like that avater. I've always had a fascination to circles of sorts and that one looks good. If you don't mind I will use it.

Oh, and if I may I'd like to use that sentence.

Thanks for the ideas.
