    Damn it, then I have to convert it

    EDIT:
    converted, but it is not nice, horrible quality and big size (flash is five time smaller with much better quality and has higher framerate or whatever but looks more smoothly...)

    Your .gif is big enough....What program are you using to convert it? I used imagereadyCS2 to make my sig .gif...and its under 200KB at max quality

    any chance you can link to the site? for some odd reason i can't view the main XS site right now, tried in multiple browser on two systems...

    does it still look like this?
    http://www.big-boards.com/img/thumbs/h1149.jpg

    came up with this

    http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9599/htddr3us1.gif

    might do some more stuff with it, i only have it at 87kb... and for the record, I am one to be semi-paranoid about file size, I've designed entire templates which only take 60kb and consider such a large image a waste... i swear, mng should have been the standard

    EDIT- because image wouldn't load...

    Holy crap, I'm looking at my banner from another computer now.
    My current rig has a fuxxored videocard and gives artifacts in 2d mode.
    Thats why those bluelines are next to the pictures and thats why the imagequality looks so .
    Damn, I never knew it actually would have affect on the gif itself.
    I'll try to make a new one on another pc.
    God damn, stupid card.

    I don't copy your banner. What's bad?

    I just used + and = as you, that's all. Then I have got same logo (hmmm that's strange isn't it ), nearly same colors (Try and match the colors to the Xs Website) and same product (no comment)...

    No flame pls.

    umm central usa is gmt -6.
    now if i only knew how that correlates...

    i THink it goes like this: at 00:00 +1, our (cst) time will be 5:00 P.M. they day before. I THINK!!! I guess that's 5pm on the 23rd, unless it's ending on midnight 24th to the 25th, then it'll be 5:00pm on the 24th for us.
    again, i'm thinking this is right info, but i'm not sure.

    and thanks for your tec knowledge btw, nol

    LOL. great name.
    well I hit printscrn and cut it into paint. then i uploaded it to imageshack with the name xs.jpg. lollllll xsex is just... funny hahahah.

    umm it takes a LONG time to load. It stays like navy blue for a while, then all of a sudden the rest pops up. And not even all the way, you can see some of the graphics'-spots have a red X. Eh... all we need are the colors.

    xsex hahaha
