Most of them are the wrong dimensions, but you're welcome to try making one.

Two stupid questions:
1) Are there any parameters I need to follow (size, etc.)?
2) Do you know of any good image-editing freeware? I don't have Photoshop or anything better then MSPaint.

The hard limits are that banners must be between 400 and 800 pixels wide and 100 to 250 pixels high.  You should also tweak the JPEG quality down to minimize the file size; there are only a few situations where a banner should use up more than 75KB.  Opinion varies on the optimum dimensions - read through the banner thread for these.

Haven't used it myself, but people seem to give good reviews to Paint.NET.  I use the GIMP which is very capable but has a bit of a steep learning curve.  If (and only if) you are already familiar with Photoshop, GIMPshop may be useful as it is the GIMP with the interface altered to resemble Photoshop.

Thanks, bud!

And what does it say that I get faster and more informative help from this site, whose raison d'etre is the celebration of misanthropy, than I do from customer service professionals here in Indiana?

I stick with 200x800. It fits nicely at the top of the screen and provides plenty of space to work with. Pale tends to be a little more catholic in the dimensions he uses.

Another Hoosier on High Street? Where are you located?

Let's say a college town? I'm loath to divulge too much, including my location, or pictures of my tits, such as they are.

That's probably wise.

Where are you?

Taking your lead, I'm also in a collegiate area, but not one that's liberal or hilly.

And just to get it out of the way, here are my tits:

Nice tits. Are you crimson and cream? Or the other one?

Sounds like she's a Boiler, too.  POTFH!

Piss on those fuckin' Hoosiers!

Crimson + cream = liberal town.
Black + gold = hilly topography.

Me = neither.

What's left? Muncie? Terre Haute? South Bend? Ivy Tech?

Would you two quit trying to out each other?  For fucks sake you have no idea what kind of damage you could unleash should the denizens of this place decide they don't like you.

Pizzas, calling your mom, Dirckman, posting the pictures of your 15 year old cousin alongside the forum postings you made about wanting to fuck her, AR-15 nuts and God only knows what else if we decided to get creative again.

There is also the fact that there are hundreds of eyes on these posts, and most of the people reading never even register, much less post anything; and it only takes one nutbag to take a likin' (or a hatin') to ya and start fucking with your life.  Be aware.

Point taken. I don't think, though, that either of us have revealed enough to be outed--not more than anybody else here, at least (state, profession).

The weather sure is nice here in Opa-Locka, Florida.

Didn't think you were. Thanks.

For my own peace of mind, have I been checked before going too far, or notified after having gone too far? And is it pointless for me to go back and remove anything remotely personal from my posts?

I'm not a Web Ninja like some of the people here; but I'd say you have not given away too much at this point--I posted to try to make you think before you did.

I don't recall any specific info from any of your posts that would help a stalker.

By the standards of most of the people I know, I'm a little on the paranoid side; but of course I think I'm just realistic.  My epiphany came one idle afternoon when I got to thinking about my first-grade boyfriend and since I had nothing better to do, I Googled him.  I only had his nickname (from first grade!) and his surname.

It took me, literally, five seconds to find him.  I found out the name of the neighborhood where he lives (though not the specific address), the name and address of the company he works for and his position there, his wife's name, his daughter's name, age and birthday, and a recent photo.  I'm sure I could easily have found info like his wife's workplace and his daughter's school, if I'd been of a stalkery bent.

I didn't contact him; I was too freaked out by the Power of the Internets.  It was an important lesson.

What's his name? I find him... fascinating.

Seriously, though, thanks for the tip. Good lookin' out, yo.

If you recall, I was quite fond of running new posters like Ah Pook over there through a harrowing gauntlet of hate in order to test their mettle.
