Ah, I see, lol. When it comes to that I just save and resize a lot of things with GIMP or Pixlr or something, and then see if it makes a pretty picture when placed on a profile. Took a bit of trial and error with this profile, definitely.
I guess it is. It's a lot smaller, so it's a lot easier to get to know people. But it also means the forums are less active, and I mainly stick around PC for the RP Corner and the RP Corner on EGC was never very active, even when I and some other PCers tried to boost it's activity. (not to mention a lot of people on EGC are also originally from PC, lol.)
