: 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 ?
If our goal is to steal avatars we don't have to have and use Chilly's Avatar Maker to do it. We *Guild Members* also use programs to create avatars that have the capability of capturing av's from others. I think it would be hypocritical of us, as an organization, to eliminate sites automatically because the builder chose to use Chilly's Av Maker. I think we need to continue to evaluate each site based on it's merit. Thanks....Trev
