Well thanks for the welcome. I am not an elitist so I don't think we'll have any problems there either.

Welcome to PGC, Leon. I am evil intentions, lover of Baten Kaitos, as you might be able to tell by my avatar.

Well yes signed up, but he has also been using PGC for a news source for two years now.

I'm new.

And I have a few questions:

1. What are the sig limits? That goes for the ammount of letter & symbols and the picture size. I've looked everywhere and I can't find them.

2. What do the rules mean when they say I have to host my avatar on my personal webspace? Mine is hosted on Image Shack. Is that alright?

Some answers would be greatly appriciated.

1. I think the hard limit is 255 chars, pictures aren't allowed on these boards because too many people would just link inappropriate or too large pictures or leech e.g. screenshots from another site. That means both posts and sigs.

2. "Personal webspace" merely means no leeching from other boards or websites, the pic has to be under your "control" so you're okay.

Oh, I think I never formally introduced myself in this thread but I'm about 4000 posts too late for that now.

Hi. I'm not new here, but I wanted to share this, and I didn't know where else to put it.

Has anyone else noticed that Microsoft Word's spellcheck tool doesn't recognize the word "GameCube" but both "Xbox" and "PlayStation" are in there? Kinda weird.

This thread rivals the Resi4 thread.

pudu · « **Reply #1157 on:** February 13, 2005, 01:12:34 PM »

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd add to the insanity that is this thread. Kingvudu I just checked it out and you're right...pretty lame if you ask me. It also recognizes "Dreamcast" but that's no surprise since they helped make it. Atleast it recognizes the word "Nintendo" though...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1158 on:** February 13, 2005, 01:26:17 PM »

These forums need more insanity...Welcome!

evil intentions · « **Reply #1159 on:** February 13, 2005, 06:41:17 PM »

Welcome all you new people!

Dasmos · « **Reply #1160 on:** February 14, 2005, 11:03:16 PM »

I am not a newbie here (well i sort of am i've been for only around 6 months) but i have kind of a newbie question. My brother wants to make an account for the forums here on account i won't let him use mine because he is a bit of a jack@$$. He was about to make one when i read the Terms of Agreement where it states that they can eject anyone from the forums for crude and rude behaivour..which is fair. But it also says you can ban from the site! If this happens to my brother (i'll make sure it won't) but if it does will i be able to access this site on my computer??

I also never officially signed in here when i first joined!! So this is my official SIGN IN!

Robotor · « **Reply #1161 on:** February 24, 2005, 11:57:50 AM »

Hi all. I'm new, obviously, but I've been lurking for a couple of months, so I know what goes down. I love the site, and I've been looking for a board that will accept me, and have similiar views as me. Gamefaqs failed miserably, I hate that place, everybody there is a jerk. You guys seem nice, and I believe that I will enjoy this community.

Now I just need to find a place that will host an avatar, any suggestions?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1162 on:** February 24, 2005, 12:03:46 PM »

"But it also says you can ban from the site! If this happens to my brother (i'll make sure it won't) but if it does will i be able to access this site on my computer??"

Depends...Sometimes just the name is banned, but sometimes the IP is also banned...Just keep your brother out of trouble...

And welcome, Robotor, most of us here are of decent behavior so you'll probably feel right at home...

As for avatars, the most popular picture upload site is probably Photobucket.com...

Mr. Segali · « **Reply #1163 on:** February 24, 2005, 01:00:45 PM »

Hello. I've been here for a couple of months... was lurking at first mostly, but just recently I've started posting. Just checkin' in....

evil intentions · « **Reply #1164 on:** February 24, 2005, 05:58:33 PM »

Glad you decided to begin posting. Welcome to PGC.

K-RPG · « **Reply #1165 on:** February 24, 2005, 06:30:35 PM »

Yeah... Im new here. Been checked PG for a while, but never really got my membership until now.

Pryopizm · « **Reply #1166 on:** March 02, 2005, 08:19:07 AM »

Here's me. Checking in. I love formalities.

09n · « **Reply #1167 on:** March 09, 2005, 06:48:50 AM »

Hi ya all! I've been here a week or too now and most of you guys know me however this is just to make sure everyone does.
I am a keen gamer but I (no offence meant to anyone) highly disslike Sony and Microsoft. They make some good games eg age of empires, FF VII but there overall policies dissagree with my own.
I personally believe that the UK is one of the greatest countries in the world. This is mainly due to the time about 150 years ago when our navy ruled the sea and our technology powered the world. This may result in accidental offence when I get cought up in the moment. If I do ever offend anyone I am truly truly sorry.

The games I am currently playing are:
Tales of Symphonia
Metriod and Prime 1 and 2
Beyond good and evil

The games I want are:
Mercenaries
Star fox armada
Resident evil 4
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
The movies
Cossacks anthology collection
Baten kaitos
The Entente- World War 1 Battlefields
Age of empires 2

When I'm not on the gamecube or chained to the computer writing my book, I'm watching TV. My favourate shows include The Simpsons, Futurama and most animes.
Ok I think that's it, any more questions just ask.

Slew · « **Reply #1168 on:** March 10, 2005, 07:40:20 PM »

Just signed up. It was getting annoying when I wanted to make a comment on something and couldn't.
But now I'm here and all is well.

evil intentions · « **Reply #1169 on:** March 18, 2005, 06:23:39 PM »

Welcome to PGC all of you.

Yeah I'm a noob, I usually would look at these boards on the Talkback, right now I'm just trying to get a icon on the left side (need help stupid huh). I own a PS2 and GCN.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1174 on:** March 30, 2005, 09:29:32 AM »

Welcome to the boards, dack...Everyone seems to need help with getting an avatar, maybe it should be included in the FAQ...

1) First, get some webspace...Examples: Photobucket, Angelfire, etc...
2) Copy URL of pic from your webspace...
3) Paste URL into box labeled "External Icon" in your profile...

And that's it, hope you enjoy yourself here!
