Just thought you might want to adopt this older one if it looks better. In the image the guy actually has a head but I couldn’t format it to fit in the avatar... the original image was saved to an old PC that is long gone now so the headless rider just stuck... If I ever mess with my avatar I’d actually like to get that guys head back in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had a hilarious time with hackier, but then he just seemed to sour on it, even before the death of the LF, but it may have been the transition that did it. But irregardless, for all intents and purposes, I am more talking aboot ebb and flow with forum conditions held constant. Like for instance there once was a poster named Cyclist who was aboot as addicted as me. Then poof, gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were brutal to noobs on the LF 3 minutes ago, Taylor said: You were a noob. i hung out in beginners and maintenance for quite awhile posting there. I read over at the love forum but didn’t start posting until I had a good idea of what to expect. I probably had more than fifty posts before I started posting in the LF. Nobody even noticed I was a noob. Several years later and hundreds of posts later Jason noticed me and thought I was a noob. The regulars filled him in. He was my least favorite poster on the LF.

Sometimes they look good if you just add the same coloration of the areas close to the fill-ins. So if it is gray, I just sample the color near the edge and insert it on the sides. I'll give it a try, but it might be a little later before I can get to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
