| Oh and BTW, I just finished the winner of the windowblinds portion. All others are wasting their time. Go clean your bathroom or something. |
I wouldn't be SO confident of myself... remember, the higher you are, the harder you fall.
I always expect the worst possible scenerio... so i'll never be dissapointed.. but then again, I'm not an expert like you, i guess you have reasons be so confident...

The question is, can the other entrant use my emblem in his WB theme? He obviously would have my full permission. What do you think?
Reply #58 Saturday, September 24, 2005 1:24 PM
As for your question. Is the emblem sort of a logo? If it is and it is the only feature/image of your theme that will be shared with his/her skin, then it's ok.

Wolceme to teh Dsylxeia Dapertmnet! (Confusing sixes and nines makes poker interesting sometimes!
)It is like a logo, and in fact it is very much like my avatar. And it is the only graphic that is directly shared (the look will be very similar, of course).
