Define Cynical Fan Forums

In case you don't know, a signature banner is a normal link banner, but sized to take up minimal space. These are most often used for link banners in forums where signature limits are heavily enforced.<br><br>Now that you know what I'm talking about...<br><br>I've whipped up a quick sig banner for O&M. Keep in mind I can't get too much detail in there.

And one for Define Cynical:

One more time, transparent banners:<br><br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/l ... OM_tr1.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/l ... DC_tr1.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Nifty. I like those. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

Forgive my bluntness, but the transparent ones are crappy.<br>Maybe it's my resolution, but the white outline does not do those banners justice.<br><br>The other two are awesome, though. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I actually like the transparent ones, the outlines weren't so distracting to me.

My ad blocker blocks them <.<

Tell it to allow ads for this site.<br><br>Those are pretty cool. I think I'll start using one of them in my sig for other boards that I belong to.

Alas, I can't do exceptions. I'd have to temporarily disable it. I don't like doing that because then I forget to re-enable it =/

Wait, is it blocking all four of them, or can you see either the solid or transparent ones?<br><br>I ask because the "solid" ones were uploaded to the post, so they're stored on this site. The transparent ones are linked to from my site.<br><br>By the way, here's the solid ones from my site, plus two more.<br><br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/link/sig_OM.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/link/sig_DC.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/link/sig_ARC.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

I noticed something about that first one. Ozy's hat is filled in with the blue background.

No, it isn't. His hat just happened to get cut off near the top of his hatband, which happened to be similar in color to that edge of the gradient.<br><br>(In case you're wondering, I got the gradient colors from <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/banners/banner3.gif' target='_blank'>this image.</a>)<br><br>EDIT: Made a different version with the gradient reversed.<br><img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/img/link/sig_OM2.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br>EDIT 2: Made the image more readable.

Strange...I thought the band on his hat was supposed to be white.

Nope. <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/1998/om19980135.html' target='_blank'>It was orinally dark blue</a>, but it lightened up to the current cyan color, as can be seen on the <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html' target='_blank'>cast page</a>.

Nah, I can see the post-upload ones, but that's it.
