Does anyone have any suggestions for the forum? Please post them here. Please no harsh criticism - I know I can't make awesome graphics and this is my first forum so I'm a complete newbie at that as well.
But if you would like to suggest a set of better emoticons, or maybe even make stuff I don't really mind any handouts then feel free to post them here. =D

*raises hand* ooh me me! i'm thinking the emoticons can look like this 4chan.biz/gb/ basically stills which i can help make but there's a set of expressions for each character by just cutting out from official scans. for example: for Ayumu we need to make a smiley, sad, angry etc. but of course it's up to you Mushy-dono! if u give the go-ahead i'll try and make 150x150 emoticon set of Ayumu or whatever the specifications are for the forumXD

I love the idea of using emoticons that have character expressions on them. =D
If you want to, pretty much all it will let me do is replace the ones we have now, so I don't think I can add more - so if you just keep in mind what emoticons are available when you post, and replace those, I'm all for it. Thank you so much for the suggestion/offer. But I'd kind of want them a lil smaller if possible - maybe 50 x 50? Otherwise I'm afraid it'd break up the text too much. Or if you want them tall like the ones you linked, maybe 100 x 50 or something? Ack, now I feel like I'm imposing on your kindness. T_T

not at all! you're much too kindXD i'll make it 50x50. it'll just be cut outs of the face and hopefully it won't lose too much quality when i shrink it down

Thank you so much! If you need any pictures, just let me know, and I'll see what I can find. *has a lot of Spiral pictures saved on my computer* Though I'm sure you have quite a few pictures for Spiral saved so there's probably not much I can offer, but feel free to ask. ^_^

Oooh wow those are nice! x3 I'll have to upload those soon - I can at least change a few emoticons out for now. I don't have any sad Ayumu - think we might be able to find another character for that? I can't think of any characters that have sad faces, unfortunately. =( Baaah. Gotta come up with something - or at least, something in color!
I'll look through my pictures later and see if I can possibly come up with something.
But for now, those look great!
Edit: I added those four for now, but I'm having trouble figuring out how I can change the coding since I know I can...I just haven't figured out how. xDD (I suck an admin.) ^^;

yay they're up!! i'm back in school, my spring break was only one week for the other icons i'll try some of Kanone and the others but if you have any other scans you'd like me to use, just let me know. i already know who to use for this expression lolz! good luck with changing the codes but i think it's fine with using the current emoticodesXD

Thanks for doing all this, really. <3 It's awesome seeing Spiral emoticons.
It reminds me sort of when I made all those mood theme pictures for Spiral on Livejournal. xD It was painful but fun - but fortunately, there were more of those to make, and I was the one making them...so...xD
My friend linked me to a thread that talks about how to change the codes but I do want to change a few of them, later down the road. :3 Most of the original ones will work, though. =D

I don't know if this would be a suggestion or more of a personal thought. (A suggestive thought? |D)
Anyway, um, I keep thinking the color scheme, the red and black, doesn't seem very Spiral-like. To me, it seems a little too dark.
But that might just be me XD Whenever I think of a color to go with Spiral, I always picture blues or purples; but that's probably only because of the anime title. =B

I have to agree with you there. xD (I really only went with the color scheme because I like orange (but orange background was painful on the eyes so only a few things are actually orange), and I had every intention of changing it when I actually got a decent background and header and navigation buttons). It's very un-Spiral like, though. I totally agree. =( I will switch it around soon enough. I may not be able to do much, but I can at least make it seem more Spiral like. Though I don't want to use too much blue - possibly more purple, though. I see enough blue on the Tales of forums. *wince* So I'll probably either choose a really bright blue or something, to go with the purple. =3

Announcement to all: Okay, I've changed the skin to purple. It's the default setting now - you can go back to the old one if you'd like by going to your profile, and picking out the orange skin. Though I highly doubt anyone is going to do that, I thought I would explain that. So no one be thrown off by the changes. xD I would like to do more around here, but my abilities on this sort of thing are limited (which should all have you questioning my leadership and admin skills by this point) so yeah... But I can continue to add little Spiral emoticons as Samwise makes them, and someday I hope to have better navigation buttons. I also hope eventually we get a decent background too. For now, this plain thing will have to do. You're not subjected to my orange-and-red-look-great-with-black fetish that we can all blame Hyung-Tae Kim's art for inspiring. And really, I don't mind if anyone does feel like lending a hand, though I am particular on backgrounds and the navigation buttons especially - I want certain characters to navigate to certain pages. I'm just sure someone can make less insanely obviously MS-Painted bull better navigation buttons than I. *is NOT asking for free handouts...simply implying they'd be accepted and Mushy would love you FOREVER and you will be fully credited somewhere...I might make a credits thread or something if it comes down to that* Edit: Some of the color changes were a bit of an eyesore, but I changed the colors in visited links to a blue so that they're easier to read (they were too hard before that). I'm still tweaking but I hope this looks a lot better!
