Oh, and I see there's no thanks to me for rigging the results for that compo? Well fine, I see how it is! Next time you can expect last place... although... technically you came in last place in that compo as well, oh well, you get what I mean.

Nooo, you just came up with the idea for the 'preview' image, where you could view the banners as they would look on the forum. I then decided to turn that into a PHP script to do it automatically, and then the whole 'Submit to the one page' idea was mine, then Jessticular had the idea to show each images file size and extension and then finally Rich asked me to add a voting/results script.

So in essence, your 'idea' was just one insignificant, little, minor, detail in the big scheme of things... oh, and I did credit you for it at the time. So bleh.

Hehe... no I came last in the shortlist. That was only a few of the images. So I came 49th out of about 250

Well I can't credit you as a mentor if I'm already your mentor, someone can't be a mentor of their own mentor. So you should've thought about that before crediting me.

I'd have to say, greecee3(for making the cool tunes, man). But I guess I don't have any mentors on this forum except probably Dgamer(the kangaroo guy) for showing me how to use the really weird DB collision commands. Well I'd like to thank computers for kids(progamming school for teaching me VB). Hey, I'm not on anybody's list! I talk about total nonsense, that's something. I, um, post about my games, and ..er... oh, a good one, I critque games(good and bad) on the WIP thing alot. Oh, I'd like to thank all the french speaking part of TGC community(about 3 people) for helping this forum to be more multiculted. And everyone who starts those religeous threads, everyone needs a flame war once in a while, FLAMES HO! *gos to find a religeos thread*

Manticore I will put you on my list if you reduce the width of your sig, which is causing the forum to scroll even at 1024x768
