I'm usually too lazy to change my avatar, but then I watched the most adorable anime ever, and in the Animesuki thread someone had created an avatar based off of the most adorable moment from said anime, and I had to use it.
but you were a metroid...
A Zoomer. That's two people I've had to correct now. Do we need to have a solid year of Together Retro: The Metroid Series so people can get it right?

Of course. I remember now. Still not looking forward to memorising everybody's avatars now...

A year of Metroid Together Retros aren't going to help, I'm not playing them. :lol:

I like classicgamer5's Avatar. Not only is it cool, it's funny too. :)

So what program do people typically use to resize a picture to make their avatar?

This 80px x 80px was a pain-in-the-ass. I used MS Paint and kept shrinking it It would be nice if the forum software was able to auto-resize an image for you.

My old copy of PS. If anyone needs something resized, I don't mind doing it as long as I don't have a flood of them coming in.

I think the fastest/easiest one is Irfanview - Crop so it's roughly square then use Resample method Lanczos or B-Spline and check the "sharpen after resample" box.
Tho I used Paint Shop Pro so I could have alpha transparency and optimize the PNG filesize.
