    I tend to agree with the sig, especially for one liners then a huge sig pic following. Do this a few times and you have a lot of scrolling to do to get a whole 10 lines of a thread. I don't mind width, but for depth I prefer banner size.

    However, can you update said poll as new Shinkis come out? That's the only problem I can see with it, otherwise.

    Yep, and by making it "revoteable" you can come back when you have more Shinkis and add them to the list.


    We'll try it with the MMS figures to see how it goes, anyone have a complete list of MMS figures?

    800x200 max sig? Any wider than that is pretty annoying. (Still using 1024x768 at times..) I also prefer banner height in sigs.
    As to avatars, 150x150 with a large sizelimit so people can properly use animated avs? Though too much animation in an av is also annoying.

    EDIT: Just saw the 600x200 sig size option in the poll. That's even better.

    Anyone else notice HLJ's 'April Restock' on a dozen Shinkis went to 'Discontinued' again? If you have em in an order queue, they're listed as 'Future Release'. Anyone actually get any of those alleged restocks?

    I'd vote for a max of 800x300. I'm not a fan of huge sigs, and even less of a fan of images stretching the browser window wider than my desktop resolution. I'm still running 1024x768 at work. As for the height, well I'm not a fan of ridiculously tall sigs, either. While 800x300 doesn't offer the best height to width ratio, going much taller may get to be too big.

    Damn, I ordered one and it's now listed discontinued :redface2:  I can't see my order in my account yet (ordered yesterday), but I hope I'll have the chance to get it :(  Suck if they don't get them as they expected.

    My order showed up in my acount on HLJ, with 'futur release' for my Shinki :(  But I'll keep it there, hoping they'll come out soon. That other site have a high shipping price, so I'll try to stay with HLJ as much as posssible.

    I've used HLJ alot over the years and this is my second time with Angolz, and as far as I can tell, shipping is the same. EMS is always pricey with the big boxed Shinkis.

    But what if all of us post our comics in the new forum as well?

    ...although it would be rather troublesome for me to update my comic in three different forums...maybe I should have a dedicated website for that.



    Approval! :thumb 

    Though the "Busou Shinki World" text itself could do with a colour change...seems to clash with the rest of the theme. And it doesn't match my purse.



    I'm perfectly fine with TFW's limit of 500x300 actually. Anything bigger than that is a luxury.



    I can only wonder what plans you have for her... :)

    Black. Like the colour of my heart! :ev: 

    Although I have to say, it's quite weird bouncing back and forth between TFW and BSW for the purpose of Shinkis.

    I'll have you know Black & Gold go great with each other.

    Example, my university colors:

    And I'm sure we'll get into the swing of things as time goes on. This should hopefully net us some new members to the community that aren't interested in Transformers and don't really want to register on a Transformer board.

    I mentioned the ebay thing on the BSW Forum. Yeah, it looks like they were misinformed, or put the wrong tag on some items. They DID get the master's book in if you wanted to buy it.

    Also, Angolz looks GOOD for prices. I put an order in, so if anyone wants to wait, I'll let you know how i goes. Mmm. Fort Bragg.
