My fellow CAPers.... I was wondering how some of you get those little avatars of people in either BDUs or Blues with your last name, awards, and patches. I would very much like one.
Another thread somewhere, but basically it's bestowed upon you .. and it seems(ed) you had to be someone "special" because said thread says "don't take someone else and modify it". The gist was if you rated one, you'll get one.
Since the chief pixel pusher seems to have gone on, there has not been many newly minted ones in a while.
They were made by a guy who used to be very active with the CAP forums. He ran his own for a while until he didn't have enough free time, then CAPTalk started to replace it. He was here as a moderator and would make the avatars for people if they'd been around for a little while but he hasn't been active on here for a little while.
They aren't that difficult to make if you have a little experience with photoshop or a similar program, though. The hard part is getting the BDU portion right.

Aren't we still operating under the "don't make your own copies rule" out of respect?

Can't we make something original?
Reason for no copies is that they were all unique to the person. He didn't just use the same one for everybody. I'd be annoyed if you just made a copy of mine...
I never got one... :(
