So they want a "famous footers" section

what do you guys say, do we give it to them?

Maybe it could fit into the Kirupa lab section, if they’re Flash based that is?

i guess the term “footer” could mean anything, even animated gifs, i guess. let them handle it since it was their idea. we’ll just moderate :).

Well Flash footers I don’t have a problem with, since this is primarily a Flash site, but animated gifs I’m not convinced by. We’ll see what other mods think… :slight_smile:

i don’t think it deserves its own section. maybe a thread dedicated to it… but not even a sticky thread…

yeah…and lava may post ten different new threads on it too…i thought the same thing jubba said. well let’s see…

I think it is a stupid idea.

I agree… It is unecessary…

Hehe, thanks Thor =)

But unfortunately the .png images with partial transparency in it makes this puppy 180K, so its too big for the forum, and too big for the footer contest :frowning:

can’t you make them gifs?

GIFs don’t support partial transparency, so it gets pixelated, and the partially transparent areas get a solid background, which looks very bad IMO :-\

I think I will try soon to figure out a new way of getting this file size down. I have some ideas kicking in my head :slight_smile:

draw them in flash.

Yeah, I thought about that… but then I tried it.

It turns out I forgot I can’t draw in Flash to save my life…LOL.

I even tried tracing, still a no-go. Worth another try though :slight_smile:

vectorize the picture in flash. you’ll have to break up the image first.

Well that actually makes the file size bigger believe it or not… :-\ Also more processor intensive as well. Sometimes crashes my computer.

do you want me to take a try at it? see how small I can get it?
