There was an issue about avatar sizes on Nifty after the changeover. Apparently, board admins can set maximum dimensions for avatars, but there's only a file size limit if you upload it from your computer to the board. Now, there was some kind of bug on Nifty where the software wasn't enforcing the limit on all off-site avatars, IIRC. Zherog or Neil would know more about the details, though.

The page template is broke in a couple places; missing alt=text and width/height from the IMG markup.

It's a simple fix, if you know where the page is stored.

It's really nice, it was just so big that it looked a bit pixelated.

edit: you have a lot of drawings with topless 'taurs don't you?

I generally only use images I directly own; though there's a few that are fair use.

Topless is the normal state for centaurs in pre-classic art, so yeah. It's also legal public attire for Santa Cruz; also no town in the Bay Area has blue laws.

Image
This image was done by Kacey Maltzman, I commissioned it of my character from one of Frank's games. ^-^ It's badge-sized.

Also, that was a nasty trick, calling that post 'teen titan' porn. Here's some Wonder Twins (Hey, they're both DC teen heroes) to make up for it...

Well, everything was marked as read when I first logged on so I figured I was first.
I had a signature here once but I've since lost it.

same. ish. My avi here is a crop of a drawing I did(a fursona of mine[yes, I'm a furry, but not one of the freakish, drama queen ones]), my avi on other sites tends to be clipart(devart avi), or something specifically done for random people to use as an avi(WotC, 600club, etc.) The only thing I can think of that isn't either of those cases is my Myth Weavers avi, it's a crop of a pic from eberron(I cropped, but not my image)

true

Teen Titans is a comic/cartoon, right? The porn images did not feature them.

Hey, Crissa... Stupid question.

Your avatar - do you still call it a centaur even though it's a water creature? If not, what is it?

Thanx. My son was wondering what it was and I didn't know what to tell him. "Ichthyocentaur" might be a mouthful, but it's one hell of a lot smoother than the stuff I was trying to make up earlier.

For a minute, I used to be "a guy" in the TTRPG "industry". Now I'm just a nobody. For the most part, it's a relief.

I like my sig.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

It reminds me of something I saw in a Sonic 2006 Let's Play trivia challenge.

http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Sonic2006 ... index.html
18. Creativity: Sonic 3 & Knuckles shows that in a straight up chase, Sonic still can't catch Eggman. Give me a short answer essay (250 words suggested maximum) explaining how Eggman can run as fast as Sonic. Entries judged on overall creativity; humor optional. || Points: 5-4-3
That's easy. It's fear. Picture this:

You're an industrialist, trying to modernize a backward planet and raise up standards of living through the use of technology, for the common good. One day, some of your industrial robots are blown up by a sentient, supersonic blue hedgehog. That's scary as fuck. Now, said hedgehog has it in his head that you're a monster who's turning animals into robots and wants to take over the world and oppress it, in large part because of all the steroids, speed, colloidal silver, and other assorted shit he's been taking in massive quantities for the past decade. You decide to see if you can't reason with the guy, but for your troubles you get assaulted, and your ride gets trashed beyond recognition.

So you decide to deal with this like you would with any other pest problems: You put out some traps, like spike pits, modify a couple of your robots with .22 rifles, etc. The way you'd deal with any rodent, really. Soon enough, the hedgehog gets himself impaled, and you're done. Or so you think. Soon after, despite having quite clearly been drained of his precious bodily fluids, he's back and trashing your robots again. Maybe the other one was some sort of decoy? No matter, you're taking this into your own hands. You modify your ride, mad max style, adding a couple of guns, some spikes, missile, slowly swinging giant balls, that kind of stuff. Then you roll. You meet the hedgehog and after a brief struggle where he manages to make one or two lucky hits on spots you haven't really bothered armoring, you make him into thin gruel. This time you're sure he's done for.

How wrong you are. Soon after, he's back. You can't believe it. You try to kill him yourself once more, but this time he seems to know where to strike. He seems to know when to strike. He seems to know when you'll strike. Once you realize that, you try to change your attack patterns, but it's too late, he's done enough damage to blow up your vehicle, and you barely escape with your life. For the next few days, he follows you, destroying everything you throw at him, and it's obvious he won't stop until he gets you. You can't sleep. You watch as he destroys everything you've done to help people: one after another, chemical plants, oil refineries, amusement parks, all you've built, gets blown up by this satanic, unholy, immortal demon from the deepest pits of hell. When you do manage to take him out, he's back within hours.

Eventually, as you're trying to escape to the one place where you think you're safe, space, he defeats one of your latest creation, and for the first time, you're face to face with him. There's no steel plate protecting you. There's no vertical distance. He's there, staring at you with those empty, demonic eyes.

You run like you've never run before. You just fucking run.
