Here is a subject dear to my heart. I love collecting desktop wallpaper and art. I am assuming that many of the other players on HG enjoy good fantasty art as much as myself. Is there a way to share desktop art with the rest of the board? How would I do that?
Of course any art submitted could be rated or seperated into catagories so as to not offend anyone.
I have a ton of pretties I would love to share.
Peace,
Phantanya

hmm....I could set up a Yahoo Group, you can post up to 5 meg in pic files.
I too, enjoy the Fantasy art, and if you are willing to share, this might be a good way...
I will get back with the details.

I have set up a Yahoo Group at: groups.yahoo.com/group/NWNFanArtNow to view the Pictures, which is where I posted an Inuasha desktop pic, you have to join the group....no big deal, however I suggest that you use an email account, that you dont mind getting junk email in....this is how Yahoo can do this for free.... We have up to 30 meg we can use for desktop files....and rotate the pics in and out every couple of weeks.... You can leave messages too, but Hey, thats what a wonderful Blog site is for! See you on the battlefield....look for Tic the Elf....or Tock the Dwarf, (she's the pretty one) themonk |

You might want to ask Advazion about using the HG new forums (unlike these, they support downloads). The reason we didnt set up portrait sharing soon was that most easy ways of doing it have a very low xfer cap, though I have no idea how yahoo groups work.

I would love to set it up on the new boards! I did however send a few to the site that Monk was so kind to set up. If anyone is interested. I will contact Advazion today about it.
Peace,

Funky...
I dont think the fantasy wallpaper thing is NWN spacific...
and Its a good way to kinda share pics and files...limited to a finite number of megs. But if someone wanted to share a few portraits....dont see why they cant be.
And thanks Phantanya...love the Bugfisher!

Is there a way to share desktop art with the rest of the board? How would I do that? I would set up a group if I were you. You'd have free space for images and full access for everyone you let join the group. You can categorize and everything. Dave. |

But if someone wanted to share a few portraits....dont see why they cant be. Stick to wallpaper if off-HG furms please. Having two seperate portraits pages sorta defeats the purpose, and we have more than enough space for any submissions you want to make on the new forum's portraits thread. Funky |

I really did want to have "Fantasy only wallpaper." I think I mentioned on the other board how fustrated I became when surfing for new pretties online and came across a lot of garbage that was NOT fantasy but instead porn or a tastless copy of fantasy. As for space....It would not hurt my feelings at all if the site were purged of pix to make room for new stuff...portraits or wallpaper. Me...I download the ones I like so don't need to see them over and over everytime I visit the page. The wallpapers that have been submitted so far..(as I know) are exactly what I am looking for. Some very nice computer generated pictures with the fantasy theme. I also enjoy the whimsical fantasy art too. Of course I am a woman so scary vampires are not as appealing as fairies.  I actually use my wallpapers in coustom themes so I can enjoy the etherial feel of fantasy all day. Even used them to make a bitchin' screensaver. Peace, Phantanya |

Yeah, I saw your post on the new forums about this. We discussed it and decided to include them so that, if someone wanted them they were available, but if someone didn't want them or found them offensive, as in your case, they simply did not have to download them and would then never see them again. I wish there was a way to hide them if a person wanted to, but I'm afraid were stuck for the moment. We are doing are best to serve the largest possible number of people's interests here, but I apologize if you were offended.

Its ok Funky. As a Christian it was my duty to at least ask. I am still hopeful that there will be plenty of truely beautiful art subimitted. If anyone needs help on how to arrange desktop goodies just let me know.
Lets see your pretties people! And how about some higher ground coustom wallpaper? Who is our artist in here who can create something lovely for the best board?
Peace,
Phantanya

Hmmm, well after viewing the Chaotic World forums, also hosted on proboards, I must say a bit of flavor would be a nice change of pace (CW is the world of a builder who will be collaberating with us on NWN2). Sooo, its a deal. I'll guarantee a prize of some sort to every person submitting wallpaper that could be used (meaning nothing too raunchy or vulgar, or just plain dumb), with a VERY nice prize for the winner (maybe a dachy item, or a subrace code, or both, depends on how many enter as well). Multiples submissions are fine, you can email them to the highergrounddmteam@yahoo.com address, with the word 'wallpaper' somwhere conspicuous in the title. I'll accept submissions until 11:59pm PST next Sunday, the 18th of September 2005. I'll announce the winner the day after that.
Best,
Funky
