Dont worry lol, just a couple of words, not sentences.
Whew! Another excellent point, this size question. I would certainly want everyone's name to look reasonably equal in size and impressiveness.

That much being said, then HOW'S THIS SOUND for specs:

If possible, make your image somewhere close to 150k - 300k pixels .


To clarify that, I mean 2 to 3 square inches of area (1" x 2" -> 1" x 3", or about 1-1/2" round) at 300 dpi resolution.
Or, that's 4 to 8 square inches of total area if you're scanning at 200 dpi.
Just MULTIPLY YOUR IMAGE'S HEIGHT X WIDTH X DOTS-PER-INCH to count how many pixels it will have.


Or, if you're looking at the "properties" of your image on a computer, it's just height (in pixels) X width (in pixels).


If the resulting number is between 150,000 and 300,000, you've hit the target!

If it's not, however, don't worry, I'll deal!



That E-address again: bongovideo@tds.net .


Going Postal:
Jungster, why you an' Barrett an' 'Sabi gotta keep thinkin' up more work f'me? I joke agen.
No, traditional mail will be fine too - if someone wants to snail-mail me something, and have me scan it, yeah, great! It'd be an honor, but for safety's sake*, I'm not just posting the address. So PM me that you want an address to mail to, and I'll PM one back to ya!


{*safety - i.e. not being harmed by spouse. }

A more formal, letter with all our signatures as a petition to the company (appealing to their pockets and wallets), and a more heartfelt and loving one to Alizée? (to motivate her to come here) Idk, just throwing it out there.

Junkmale and Fall06, this online petition sounds like a wonderful idea!

So go right ahead! It's not my idea, and I'm already getting pretty busy here. ('Not complaining, though!)

But also I just can't do that.

Say, some of the other forums have online polls right there on the forum! Let's ask Ben if we can get one of those!
