The first avatar I used was scaled down, I dunno why yours isn't.

Speaking of which, I changed my avatar to the DXC Richter in sprite-form instead of the 2.5D form.

and it looks fuckin awesome too. Thats a damn well done job on that sprite.

Thanks, it takes forever to make the sprites look like this.

I guess it's a test in itself - The first animated avatar on the new forum - And it works.

I can't wait till Thursday. No school that day, then pretty much nothing to do the day after, and then a weekend of free time - I can finish other Richter sprites in this same style without being overworked by homework and school stuff.

Anyway, let us celebrate the second coming of the Castlevania Dungeon!

Poast Roast Noats:

* After posting, I was returned to the board, and not this thread, even though :Return to this Topic" was clicked in the additional options.

* My sig didn't show up.

After editing, apparently both things happened OK, both sig and return to topic, so nevermind. Though I wouldn't want to have to click that option every time I post. And apparently double posting is allowed, which it shouldn't be, IMO

New Castlevania Dungeon Forums Acquired! Hehe, Metroid Prime reference. ;D

Ah, it's nice having a clean slate. I hope these forums are more mod-friendly than the old ones. ::)

It is nice however, the Ad page intercepting every now and then (pretty frequent it seems) gets extremely annoying.

Feel free to speak up about that in the "Horribleness" (or something) thread at Off Topic.

Lol! I didn't even take notice of those featurs!! haha

P.S. Now we can clock how many hours we spend here too and the new smilies seem a little rough, but I like them. hehe

The shadows and glow don't seem to work for me though?! : (

That's because of the skin.  I don't think the skin allows for the glow currently.  We'll get all the kinks ironed out.

The marquee is funny.  You can put stuff like "OH SHI-" or something

Hopefully keep them up for a while so that TPTB can attempt an archive/port. But when they do get closed (if that happens) I hope the mods make an announcement so we can log in and post all sorts of crazy shit before it goes down in flames... Like signing your name on a wall just before you knock it down. (we did a lot of remodeling when I was younger.)

Code: [Select]

The shadows and glow don't seem to work for me though?! : ( IE only. glow etc. won't work outside of internet explorer.

Oh and you can adblock the ads with opera too. And for full effect, add that to the hosts file as well. :o

Edit: Jesus christ. That's some layout stretching, the top part with the forum names, moderators etc. is way too long.

Post by: dl316bh on September 12, 2007, 04:58:38 AM

Ahh. Reminds me of the old forum before the upgrade. Most excellent.

The "upgrade" at the other board was disgustingly ugly. I was like "WTF IS THIS?" >_<

The stretching is kinda distracting though. =O

Haha, that post about the board's ugliness was my most popular thread ever. Huzzah. This place seems like a step in the right direction so far. Don't think I'll ever make it to 1,000 posts now, though.

This should be selected as the default setting in the admin panel though, so that everyone wouldn't have to set it.
