What about dorsal fins and pectoral fins? Will you be hindered by those?

Speaking of which, could certain people who have avatars turned off for themselves remove their own ugly avatar? Not that I am naming names or pointing fingers at people like DarkCloud.

What's ugly about the flag of Israel (I think) and the flag of somewhere else?

Congratulations on the milestone.

I certainly don't mind the icons appearing next to all posts, but it would be better if some of them were more interesting to look at.

I asked Ixnay to make an image 58x25 pixels, black and white only that said "Skanky". The impossible was achieved - he provided an image that looked very nice and fit the very tight restrictions. I will post a pic of where it is used if I can tomorrow.

Meh, the Civgroups serve their point and then you look past them. (Unless you're a n00b who wants to figure out how to do something...but...aside from that...you pass them.) The ones that are very colourful or such seem to clutter up the screen in my opinion.

It's better, but the 'M' look like a blob.

Sorry Ix. I like the first one.

The second one is too distracting, and "II" could be "Pirates 2" and blah blah blah..

it's nice though, I just like the first one better.

The 'M' does look like a blob. Maybe you should use thinner letters.

It's also the colors. Red on yellow is never readable.
