Nice spam in an old topic.

Trace's post wasn't spam. However, yours was.

@ Trace: That's looking great, but I do think the original one looked better. Sometimes it's best to resist the urge to keep adding stuff, because at some point it will become too cluttered. Try to have a main focus point in your graphic, and emphasize that. You can also try having a gradient or very subtle pattern in the background, you'll find it adds a lot to the picture than just a flat colour, especially black. Even a very dark blue-grey can have more impact. And always experiment with your blending modes, they can yield very interesting effects (my particular favourite is overlay).

Having said that, your skills are definitely coming along well, keep up the good work :)

Trace: Looks awesome, but I'd keep with the diagonal angle it has with the other stuff by changing the logo to that way.

As to nevermind's post... it's about some spambot or something spamming the thread, and when the bot's post was deleted, nevermind's wasn't, hence his seemingly rude post. ;)

Ah, that makes sense. It didn't seem to fit, glad I was mistaken.

wow, that was rude as hell!


I think you are coming along fine with the photoshopping Trace, keep it up!
He was talking about the spammer who posted but his post was deleted.

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have bothered replying, as spam posts are often deleted, and that can lead to some confusion later on. At this point, my post is spam. Spammers on forums really get me pissed off, because it ruins them. The GBXemu forum used to be great, until it got targeted by spammers. At this point, at least every other topic is advertising pr0n, drugs, etc. so I just gave up on it. I do like the work, by the way.

We have some really fast acting spam police on this forum. They're on at least daily, and wield insta-ban highly effectively. A report and the spam will be gone in less then 12 hours, at most I would say.

I report spams as soon as I spot them, plus neg rep the fool, plus msg him with hate. I'm mean.

Some spammers are just computers. I forgot, is there a captcha on the signup page?

We have several spam guards in place which weed out well over 95% of the spambots. But there are always a few who slip past. The good news is that our moderators are the Spartans of spam-slappage. Each morning, Airbozo does 100 one-finger pushups using his spam-smack clicking finger just to get in shape for the whoopins. Most spam posts are eliminated within an hour of being posted by our delta-force spam-assassins.

Larger forums that have no guards in place for spam usually get filled up pretty quickly, and that's never any fun.

BTW, a while ago there was a spammer,but he did it subliminally so he never got banned. In all the posts he said "I dont understand, email me at blablabla@blah.com and explain. I searched his username on google and found hundreds of forums with the same post (but those forums banned him)

dude that looks cool, the first first one looks better in my eyes, i am assumign you have used layers, you could look at putting the text behind the graphic.

still very good for your first time, i feel the histogram is strong in you
