YOUR tag on the internet!

[Meister]

Since we've had a few (well, two) threads on new tags now let's have a big free-for-all tag-making party. If you're missing a particular tag or have always thought one of the existing ones could use a makeover, this is your chance!

We have guidelines!

- Size: current tags are 50 x 16 px; let's try a size of 60 x 16. Make your image that size even if the actual graphic is smaller, and don't make it larger.

- Format: gif or png is good.

- Style: don't feel obligated to stick to the current style, do whatever works for you. (But just in case: the font is Disposable Droid BB (http://www.blambot.com/font_dispdroid.shtml)) Don't make an ugly ass tag that no one wants to look at, and don't make it too distracting. Make sure it blends well against the background colour (#111111).

- Content: ABSOLUTELY no stupid memes and ALSO ABSOLUTELY no win or fail or epic tags even if you make one that looks so good you orgasm from only looking at it. Apart from that go hog wild: make a new one, redesign an existing one, whatever.

We'll probably put up just about anything that's within these guidelines and also isn't otherwise dumb (safety clause), up to a maximum of 25-ish total.

Go!

Gee, making tags up sure is fun, but coming up with good and original ones is hard.

I think I hate you.

Kubo's Writing: So awful it needs its own tag

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I think I hate you.

You're welcome.
Here's another one.

Ok no that one is an instant classic and goddamn if it isn't being insta-pproved.

request: someone make one based on trollface with a very tiny trollface if possible and have it say lulz or some shit.

[POS Industries]

no no no, it should be "lolitrollu"

I would use that tag all the time forever.

[shiney]

Yeah I can approve of that.

[POS Industries]

Then here it is!

...sister tag whenever I figure out how to fit 20 inch rims into a 16 pixel tag.

...or pick a font that's suitably reggae.

...and decide between "ani man" or "animIandI"

...alternately, just http://gunshowcomic.com/ac/part1/

...you know which panel I mean

[krogothwolf]

how come we don't have a sports tag guys? Cause you know Sport's are freakin awesome!

And Hockey season and NFL starts soon.(CFL Already started) and those are the only sports that matter!

I tried to make a sports tag but my picture of a lonely nerd staring out his window at all the cool kids being outside and having fun didn't quiiiiite fit into the dimension requirements.

Damn! that would have been awesome!

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I was trying to make one too, but I didn't find a picture of a zergling that looks decent when scaled down to 16 pixels.

[Fifthfiend]

I wonder if you could make a decent fifteen pixel high animated gif of the pong paddles/ball, that would work.

[rpgdemon]

I wonder if you could make a decent fifteen pixel high animated gif of the pong paddles/ball, that would work.

That'd be too distracting/AGHWAHT?! to look at, I think.

[Fifthfiend]

You know what we could legit use is a tech support tag; esp. as it could do double duty in the computers/technology forum and also in this forum to distinguish technical issues from the other shit that gets talked about here.

[Fenris]

I've told Meister to make that tag ever since we implemented tags.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I actually did it just now because I was bored. I will spare you the whereabouts of my pants.

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/2536/support2.png

Like, five seconds of work. Unless you count the image search. Makes me kind of wonder why so few people come up with tags or at least request some.

[Fenris]

Somebody make an LP tag.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

You knew it would be me, right?


http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4081/letsplay.png
This one looks sort of dumb, apostrophe and/or space would make it cover up the icon completely. Let's not speak of capital letters.

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4526/lp2.png
So I made an abbreviated one. With an exclamation mark.

Laziness, and fear of image editors.

[POS Industries]

Meanwhile, I tried my own hand at it, but it might need some polish.

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o159/posindustries/LP.png

Maybe just the Mario sprite with the standard NPF tag font we seem to be using right now or something.

[Meister]

Gonna upload a batch tomorrow and see how many we end up with and this is the post that will remind me to do it at a roughly 50% chance of success.

[Meister]

Well, on the one hand I totally forgot about this despite the reminder, on the other hand I can now pick the exact right tag to say this.

THIS IS ANOTHER REMINDER POST: fuck around with the first generation tags, either to adapt to the new width or just straight redesign them. Also, LP tag!

[Nikose Tyris]

Observe as Meister completely overlooks this as well. *smug*

[Donomni]

No Kubo tag? For shame.

Also, I will now always use this tag.

I AM A REP WHORE

[Osterbaum]

I think we need a 'SOCIALISM' - tag. Not that I'm making one, just sayin'.

[rpgdemon]

It's strangely compelling.

[Kim Jong-Il]

I think we need a 'SOCIALISM' - tag. Not that I'm making one, just sayin'.

Seconded so hard. Oh, the things I would do with such a tag.

[Meister]

No Kubo tag?
Full disclosure: I'm not getting the reference, so I don't see what threads we'd use it for, but I'll be glad to have it explained. :sweatdrop:

[phil_]

Tite Kubo writes Bleach. I think the tag would be used for when one is pulling something (arguments, explanations, history, etc.) out of one's ass, especially in such a way that it contradicts earlier statements, arguments, etc. made by oneself. You know, like in Bleach.

[Donomni]

Also, creator trolling(As in the creator trolling us).

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Which means every modadmin announcement would have that tag.

[POS Industries]

We already have the lolitrollu tag. A Kubo tag for the exact same purpose is redundant and confusing since we don't all get the joke.

[Donomni]

But that's the point!

And also the joke.

[Geminex]

Metaphysical question, what happens to the Seil tag if Seil ever changes his avatar?

[shiney]

Oh we'll change it back for him.

[Fenris]

BUNP

Can somebody make an "internet" tag? I'd do it myself but paint shop pro handles antialiasing differently than photoshop!

[A Zarkin' Frood]

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/9896/internetg.png

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3056/lovei.png

I hate myself for even making these.

[Bells]

Just out of curiosity, are Animated tags ok?

[Meister]

I'm not saying they aren't but they're a lot more likely to be too distracting than static ones, that said feel free to post one if you have an idea and we'll see, cause it really depends. Just don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out (although worst case we can probably still use one frame as a static tag).

[Geminex]

We could use an MSPA tag.
God nows it'd get enough usage.

[Aldurin]

With an MSPA tag we would have the tag that would work on all tagless threads. But then Fenris would be out of the thread-tagging industry.

[Fenris]

I can't figure out how to make a tag the default, otherwise we'd have the "dicks" tag implemented.

[rpgdemon]

You could just replace the image file, "icon1.gif", with whatever you want the default to be manually, couldn't you?

[Meister]

I can't figure out how to make a tag the default, otherwise we'd have the "dicks" tag implemented.
It's in vBulletin Options > Thread Display Options. Doesn't even have to be an active post icon, you could pretty much set any image you want. Unfortunately it affects all posts in a thread, not just the OP.

[Nikose Tyris]

I am 100% OK with every post ever having a "Dicks" label.

[rpgdemon]

Better yet: Secret dicks. In the posts, it won't be visible, but in the thread title, it will.

(Right click, view image.)

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Secret dicks? Why didn't I think of that. Mine was glowing yellow, too eye catching for a dick in a public place. But this, while being pretty dark, might actually work. Perhaps a bit too invisible, but oh well.

Maybe we could just censor every post with a dicks tag with some cheap blur or mosaic effect. Being the default icon it would make most threads pretty funny. (with my sense of humor at least)

EDIT: Yeah, I know that's not possible, but you do have a word filter, right? Chuck Norris.

[rpgdemon]

Here's the thing: They're invisible on posts, but they're against a light grey background when you make them a thread icon.

Edit: I like colons, apparently. This is the third colon in two posts.

[shiney]

Talking about dicks and you mention colons. You stay classy, rpgd.

[Aldurin]

Can we have an option between the dick tag and a boobs tag?

[rpgdemon]

Talking about dicks and you mention colons. You stay classy, rpgd.

Pff. I was speaking of one of the classiest methods of sentence structure: The colon. The colon is, however, still behind the semicolon in my usage; this is not surprising, as I program frequently.

[shiney]

The semicolon is a byproduct of surgery.

[rpgdemon]

So, is that a no to my brilliant tag suggestions then? :P

[A Zarkin' Frood]

No. of course I'm in no authority to actually make a decision like that. I'm just saying what I want to hear.

[rpgdemon]

Woo! Double negative!

So, thus, my brilliance is allowed to continue!

[Loyal]

That's not actually a double negative.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I was negating rpgdemon's no. That's double negative all up in this bitch. It's like minus plus minus equals plus because that's how this shit rolls.

[Flarecobra]

That's not how it works...

[rpgdemon]

Of course that isn't not how it works.

[shiney]

You guys are being stupid and now stop being stupid. :P Or I'll double negative your stay here!

...

*thinks about it*

*carries the 1*

Triple negative!!!

[Fenris]

Tag request: "Japan"

[Aldurin]

We need a Derp tag. I'm sure there's the perfect smiley for it out there.
