Signature and Avatar Hosting
« on: June 17, 2006 11:59 am CDT »
I've provided this service before but few people ever took me up on it.

If you need an image hosted for your signature, avatar, or whatever I will gladly do so.  Seriously, it isn't a problem for me.  I've got over a terrabyte of transfer per month--it's not going to hurt me, even if you use it on every forum you frequent for the rest of your life.

If you're interested, just email me at the address below with the image attached.  Don't zip it or anything, even if you have multiple images you want hosted.  Please don't send more than a few megs worth of images in an email, as that takes a long time for me to download (MIME encoding used for email attachments roughly doubles the size of your picture during transfer!).

Criteria for Avatars (User Images)
- Images should be 120x120 or smaller if intended for use on this forum.
- Images should be in JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), GIF (.gif), or PNG (.png) format.
- Images should not be larger than about 25KB each (including animated GIF files).
- Nothing copyrighted if you don't have permission to use it.
- Nothing pornographic, offensive, or illegal.
- Wedges of cheese are welcome.

Criteria for Signatures (Sig Images)
- Images should be 500x150 or smaller if intended for use on this forum.
- Images should be in JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), GIF (.gif), or PNG (.png) format.
- Images should not be larger than about 100KB each (including animated GIF files).
- Nothing copyrighted if you don't have permission to use it.
- Nothing pornographic, offensive, or illegal.
- I encourage the use of Quake logos, if you're cool enough.

Just email imagehosting@pcrpg.org with a subject line of "Image Hosting Request", a bit of ass kissery in the body (tell me your nickname you go by, etc [images are renamed according to this]), and attach the images to the message.

I'll try to respond quickly with where you can find a link to your image.  It will be hosted at http://hostpics.pcrpg.org/something.  I use av_username# for avatars and sig_username# for signatures, generally.

Thanks,
Particle

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Due to nearly non-existent usage of this service, I will be un-stickying this post on 2/28/2007.  The service will still be available, but it won't be advertised any longer.
