Semi-OT: My Tribute to Quentin Collins

[Ian]

Like my new avatar and signature? At some other forums, I won someone in a "staff auction" so I had him put this set together for me. Anyone like it? 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Very nice, Ian. 

[Gothick]

I want to hear  about the "staff auction".  How did THAT work?

LOL, Well, these forums are actually affiliated with Neopets, so the members get to bid on the Staff Members with their "NeoPoints." I personally don't really USE Neopets anymore, and I have a few million NeoPoints (NP), so I figured I'd spend them on our little forum carnival (it was actually for our third year anniversary). So, therefore, I won this guy by spending 902,000 NP (this one guy wouldn't give up). I always spend the most NP on people every year. At our first carnival I spent 150,000, last year I spent 1,901,000 NP, and this year...

Well, anyways, yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. Most of the people up for auction would say...graphics, for example, would be another's prize.

Some examples:

What's there to say about Ry?  With GC status, he has to be good. Somehow, he managed to be the only guy on here  He's offering you a choice from the following items;
Sets
Banners
Coded Blogs
Buttons
Faders/Blinkies/Fill-ups
Wallpapers
Uncoded Livejournal wallpapers, friends-only banner & icon
Blends
Coded Neopets lookup
Website layout graphics
Website layout coding (Divs, Table, I-Frame)

Yeah, I found that out too late. I had the signature downloaded on my computer, so I uploaded that to my Walagata account. Unfortunately, I used 250free's transloaded for the avatar, so I didn't have that one on my computer and I couldn't remember what the website was that I got it from. XD

[Heather]

Great work, Ian  - Luv the avatar and the sig!

Really nice sig line, Ian.

 

"I accept anything and everything..."
I just love that scene.  Superb work by Selby.  Captivating....in my humble opinion.

Yeah, I remember once when I was surfing Collinwood.net...the webmaster there puts up classic quotes. When I decided to have a Quentin set, I knew that was perfect for it, though something along the lines of "I'm going to be killed by a woman!? I wouldn't have it any other way!" came a close second.

[Gothick]

Ye Gods, what kind of fan am I?  I don't remember that scene with the "my own innocence" line.

Any hints as to where I would find it in my MPI tapes?

Thanks,

Steve
