You can either create one by yourself, if you have experience using photoshop and other animation tools.
or
you can request one from member who offer to do that for free.

There's request threads in the Visual Art forum, go there and make your request (dont create a new thread, post in the already made ones instead)

Here's possible reasons for why a newly created thread might get closed or deleted:

1- The thread already exist , someone else have already made a thread with the same subject/topic.

2- Your thread has no point or its spam

3- Has inappropriate subject that doesn't match our Rules

To make sure your posts/threads wont get closed or deleted then please make sure you check the Rules:

Image sig. only used in the forums, therefore to set it up you need to follow these steps:

1- go to the Forums > http://www.soadfans.com/PNphpBB2.htm

2- from the top of the forum > Profile > http://soadfans.com/PNphpBB2-profile-mode-editprofile.htm

3- you can put the sig you want, however to put an image you Must:

a- Find the image link first like > http//something.com/something.jpg

b- Put the image link you got between these tages:

[img]your link here[/img]

So, if the image has this address: http://something.com/pic.jpg then your sig will be like this:
[img]http://something.com/pic.jpg[/img]


Remember, you should NOT put any image more than 500x200 max dimensions, or it will be removed by the admin.

You can use the "Report To Mod" feature, located inside of the post you want to bring to the attention of the staff. If a post contains material which is not allowed on this forum, or if a topic is in a wrong category, or anything else that you believe violates any of the rules here at SOADFans, you should report the post. Reporting the post and/or topic also helps to cut down the spamming in the thread.

To make sure you know where the report to mod button is located, this forum will give you more information:

Again, check the rules here:

Please remember, only use the button once for the same post or topic! If you've sent a report and it hasn't been taken care of immediately, please be patient and it will be answered as soon as possible.

Nothing is wrong with the post count, the thing is: all posts been made in the following forums:
-- The Lounge
-- Games
-- What, Who & How

Any posts been made in the above forums are NOT been added to your overall post count.
These forums are being made for fun and playing games, and therefore no need to add the posts number there, to avoid spam.

There are many threads concerning many different topics and the staff highly recommends that a search is done prior to creating a topic.

There are ways to check before you create a topic:

1 - You can use the search function located at the bottom of every forum.

* There are specifics in which you can choose to perform a search, including three different types of posts, and you can also use a keyword search.

2 - You can use the search link located at the top of each forum:
http://www.soadfans.com/PNphpBB2-search.htm

If for some reason, the search function becomes disabled or not useful, there are forum pages, located at the top and bottom of the forums that you can use to browse through each forum.

If you do not search prior to making a topic, your topic will be closed, deleted, or merged with a topic that has already been made. If you have a question regarding your topic and why it's been closed, deleted, or merged you can PM the moderator/admin that took that action or anyone from the SOADfans team here:

Double posts are two (or more) posts in a row by the same member. This can be caused if you accidently hit the submit button twice, but more often are caused by members not using the edit button when they want to add something to their most recent post. This is unnecessary and because it increases the post count it is seen as spamming. Therefore it is not allowed.

No. In order for everyone to be able to understand what is being said, this is an all-English language site. Non-native English speakers are ofcourse still welcome to participate, but only in English.

If you want to post an image to share with other soadfans members:

1 - Find the image link first like > http//something.com/something.jpg
* If the image comes from your computer, you can use other websites to upload it, like www.photobucket.com OR www.imageshack.us in order to get a link for it.

2 - After you have the link for the image, go to the Forums to make your post > http://www.soadfans.com/PNphpBB2.htm

3 - Put the link for the image between these tags:

[img]your link here[/img]

Please try not to post an image that is too big; consider resizing before uploading it for the image link.

No, there's no such thing.
