We need ranks for our new forums, we are looking for creativity.
The forums are at http://defection.frih.net/forums/.
This is what we need:
Normal ranks:
1) New Defect - New member
2) Junior User
3) Addicted Defect
4) Defection
5) Dedicated Defector
And the special ranks:
A) Moderator
B) Administrator
C) Deported - Banned
The sooner, the better. Thanks!
BTW, we're still looking for new members.

Yes, any reason you wanted to know?Yea just curious because if you need me to edit them a little, nows the time to tell me.

I'll have DeFwh have a look, I think they're nice. Unless there's a way you can add in a small image for each rank, like frihost does. Not to rip them off of course, but he wants them to be unique...otherwise they're awesome, since they match the theme so well.I would like to, however I tried to make these as small as I could when it comes to wideness, but your deidcated defector rank is extremely long and increased all the images width by like 20 pixels...so adding a little icon for each is gonna like make them 200+ pixels which is not gonna look cool...

Well, that's cool too. You could make the text a bit smaller, but I like them as it is anyway, so you don't have to go through the trouble.I'll try to create some too
I've already made some ranks for heady or madsencarl, so I may do a good work!

Chill out, the contest isn't over just yet. We'll have to wait and see.But it is the truth. Testo is one of the best here lukeakadanish is up there with testo | Blaster wrote: |

Well then, I can't wait to see them.
We will judge by what we think is best, not whoever has the best reputation.
Anyone may feel free to join in, it's an open contest .When you say we do you mean me too? Or just you and DeFwh?

Well, I'm sure your opinion will certainly matter, but mostly DeFwh and I. We are both open to your input of course. Which reminds me, did you check your PM on defection?Yea i got it. Also we will disscuss it in the sercret of your forum OK here's my try:
I'm not the god of buttons lol!
Thanks anyway but Luke is really better than me 
Blade, If you like or dislike please tell me why!
Hope you enjoy!

I think they are quite nice . Not perfect, but nothing really is. They match the theme almost as well, and they look like they have uniqueness to some extent. So now, until more people try, we're deciding between 2 sets. It looks pretty 50/50 right now. | testoo wrote: |

Oh, I just noticed, defector should be dedicated defector. I know it might be a bit tough, but perhaps you could make it a two-liner?I like how it says defector. I think it adds a little something different to it. | Blaster wrote: |

The problem is, defection and defector sound too much alike

Yea it is true. I also posted one luke made in he admin part of the forums.I've created another style of button I find quite nice...
You can choose it if you want but I think I'll use it for my website, and I've already submitted it in another contest... So, if this button win, You may not be the only one who's got it...
PS: If you ever want, Ive got smaller (and ugglier) and bigger (and nicer) version.
The other contest: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-34450.html If you win you will also get 100 dollars on our site. (sorry for not talking it over with you boss) 
So who won? its the 20th...

I want to say it was you, I like your best. But I'm afraid we still need DeFwh and Blaster's votes before we can decide. We didn't announce it yet, but there will be a runner-up prize as well . We don't know how much yet, but we'll certainly let everyone know.dz9c wins.
can u cut out around the edges and seend em to bladesage please!
Thanks for everyones hard work!
Thank you! Those actually were my first rank images/buttons/ whatever lol Um cutting around the edgs, you mean like instead of keeping the background color like it is at your forum, make it transparent? | dz9c wrote: |

I believe he just means the very corners, not the actual background right behind the text. Also, if you subscribe to our forums, we'll pay the 100 def$ there that Blaster mentioned. Otherwise, no big deal.
So, yeah, I just think he's refering to the far corners, those tiny dark grey bits there. If you fix those, that's great .I take it that way too. But if you register with our forums we will give you a hundred def$
I registered at your forum As for the edges, if you want them transparent, Im trying but photoshop wont let me or I dont know how. Im trying to paint the edges "Clear" but "clear" is faded and I cant select it

Np, I'll take care of it. I already have the pics, so that's fine. I'll also pay you the def$. Thanks!!Closed 'cause you've asked.
If you'll need to re-open it, send a PM to some Mod.
