Mines from a large pic of Cthulhu. I'll probably change it soon, it just looks murky and sort of dank. But then it does suit me down to the ground...

mine of course is Chopper's signiature from the scrawl wars in "Unamerican Graffiti".

No real reason why I picked it, I just thought it looked good. And no-one else had taken it. And black and white icons are best :)

If you ask David Brunt, he'll claim I look just like my icon... I couldn't possibly comment :p

How do I get an icon on the message board?
Choose your icon
Icons are 32x32 pixel gifs.
There are many examples on the website already, just check the properties of the image you want to find its name.
If you can't find a suitable icon, you can create one and send the image to binaries@2000adonline.com
Animated gifs are permissable, but should be no larger than about 5k
If you can't create one, ask on the message board and someone will make one for you
Icons will usually be uploaded to the site the same working day, assuming there are sent while I am at work.
Follow the link to the database chat room (below)
Type "/icon xxx" where xxx.gif is the filename for your icon.
Find a message on the message board you have previously posted to check. Icons are backdated, so you don't need to write a new message to test them.
Enjoy your new found expression!

Or, if like me your computing knowledge is stuck at the Tandy 16K level and those instructions look like gobbledegook, try this:

Go to the "cursors and icons" page - available via link below or go through "site map" at the very bottom of this page.

Choose icon you like (not one somebody else is using), and write down its name, lets say "FINN02"

Go to the chatroom.

Type in the following command:

/icon FINN02

...and your icon will be there for all to see!  Check by looking at your previous messages - your new "face" should be on them.

Mine comes off the front of the second edition of 'Doctor Who - Terror of the Autons' by Terrance Dicks.

It's a rather better version of the Nestine that appears on the telly, which I was rather disapointed to find was a fuzzy yellow blob.

My copy of 'Terror of the Autons' was confiscated by my teacher when I was eight, as it was 'disturbing the other pupils'.  She never gave it back, either, and now I have to make do with the less impressive first edition cover with the Master pulls a lever as the Doctor waves at him from the other side of the room.

Still, I'm not bitter.

I like Zenith, so... I picked a Zenith icon. Then I found another, so I flip between the two every now & then.
Plus a special x-mas version, which will soon be making re-appearances as December approaches.
