Yeah, I made them, but most of them were just stolen straight out of Super Metroid and shrunk down :P

Samus and her ship? Are those, what, map icons?

The Profile and Log in/out ones are map icons, the message, search and memberlist ones are items and I don't know about the FAQ one.

By the way, me and my Internet are back.

wb Naner, the FAQ is the little screen when you go up to a Map Station.

I know CapCom made a separate thread for discussing rankings, but it seems to have been deleted, so I'll just state my suggestions here:

How about having a little sprite right next to your Metroid ranking? It could be like some sort of Medal of Contribution. The Metroid larva sprite :metroid: could be used for the parallel ranking, and the Omega Metroid from Metroid Fusion could be used for its parallel ranking. For the Metroid ranking, the version seen in Metroid: Zero Mission could be used. For all the other rankings, original sprites would probably have to be made, because the Metroid II sprites would be a bit outdated compared to these three sprites.

Moderators and Administrators could have their own special Samus sprites.
You know those classical pieces that you always hear in cartoons but you don't know the names of? See if you can find a few here.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but 2 new smilieys have been added:

Weird: o_O
Phazon Suit Samus: :phazon:

I am currently taking requests, so if I feel it should be added, I will make a new smiley for the board!

I like the weird one, thanks.

There was something I was going to suggest, but I've forgotten now...

I do like the ranking idea, but we don't want there to be a posting competition. On the old metroid board I frequented there were titles. Of course, I was a mod, so it didn't matter...

OH I remember! This board doesn't appear to support strikeout text (usually [s] [/s]). Is it possible to work that in there?

Here are some:

a Space Pirate head
Zoomers, Rippers, and other minor enemies
missle and energy tanks

Also, I have a minor problem with the item podium sprites right next to post titles: it's too hard to tell between the normal one and the "new post(s)" one. Perhaps you could make the different color schemes more noticable?

Updated the no new posts (popular) podium. Just click refresh.
As far as the other suggestions, I'm not so much interested in icons as I am emoticons. But if it comes down to just filling space, I may add a few of those, like items and such.

I think the image at the top of the message board page needs to be updated. Sure, the one already up there with Samus' ship is pretty cool, but don't you think that it could be significantly more vivid? :?

I like it. Although, the screw attack symbol is a bit plain compared to the background. There's a cool contrast though.

In my opinion, it contrasts well and is pleasing to the eye.
