: Please give your views on Chillies Avatar Maker.
: This tool is being marketed as a way of stealing avatars from vp users,
: It does this by capturing the avatar in a scalable box. The program can
: also be used to capture and create avatars of web site artwork the way we
: normally do with psp or photoshop.
: Have a look and let me know what u think about it

: Should the guild discourage the use of this tool ?
: Should the guild accept sites that create avatars using it ?
: Is it a good tool for newbies to use to make avatars ?
: Is the only thing wrong the marketing angle ?
Well....I agree with be_witch. I was once a newbie,
and I didn't have an Av Maker!!! I tried it myself,
and I don't like it, personally. It takes the thrill
out of making (scanning) a picture and turning it
into an Avatar. I love the challenge of
starting from scratch! :}
And I am thoroughly against stealing or capturing
Avs from one gallery and posting in another! And
with Chilly's Av maker....isn't this the same thing?
Stealing from one in use, and posting on a site?
Nah! I don't like it. This isn't anything original
about this, either. The avs will just go round and
round, and there won't be any new ones to pick from.
Because Chilly's Av maker sure won't 'acquire' an image
from a magazine!!! :{
Thanks for listening to me. :}
