I got this idea from OT. Basically you rate other peoples sigs and avy's or even banners if they want opinions. You can also ask around if you would like someone to make a sig, avy or banner for you. Im sure there will be a few designers in the union.

Rate away!

You have images turned off? so you can't see anyones sigs or avatars?Spartan_385
Yup, I'll turn them off sometimes, so the site loads quicker.;) Now that I can see it, I'd give it a 7.8/10 It looks cool, but just could use more.

Do you use dial-up? I have fast broadband and a page fully loads within the blink of an eye.

I have broadband, but my computer is just kind of slow. It takes a couple seconds to load normally, since I haven't upgraded my computer.

How do you have it to where you can still see avys? When I turn off images, it just shows the basic G avy that everyone starts out with.

Once I start to understand somewhat how the thing works, I won't mind spending an entire day messing around with the program. It's just those first 30 minutes of being lost that scare me.:P

GIMP and Photoshop are complicated programs that take time to learn. there are many tutorials to read that can help though. and there is even a GIMP union on gamespot. once you get going and create something with it, it is alot of fun. my preference is GIMP simply because it is free. it is a very powerful program that you can make all sorts of fancy text, and the usual graphics editing options that photoshop has.
