Image

Well, the image has been changed again, so before changing it back, please discuss it here. 99Hello3 23:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Why do you hate the old image? --General Insineratehymn 23:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Simply, use:

PNG > SVG > GIF > JPG

The image you want is a JPG. 99Hello3 23:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't really apply though. I mean... we're only giving it to sockpuppets. It's not a big deal. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion: How about using both? 99Hello3 23:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Now it just looks cluttered. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Besides, the current one looks fine enough to me. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded a PNG version of the old picture here if you really feel it necessary to change. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't see any difference between the JPG version and the PNG version. --General Insineratehymn 23:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

No, converting a JPG to a PNG simply makes a larger file and keeps the previous bad quality. 99Hello3 23:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

And please, we have to discuss this first. 99Hello3 23:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

We did just discuss this, and neither of us well known and (relatively) respected members want changes. It's been fine for 2 years as is. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree with TKF. Stop changing the damn image. --General Insineratehymn 23:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

How can you like a crappy image better? 99Hello3 23:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Because this is Uncyclopedia! --General Insineratehymn 23:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

BUT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!! 99Hello3 23:57, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Then deal with it, because it doesn't to us. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 23:57, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Go outside and play in the sun instead of wasting my time. 99Hello3 23:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

You're wasting our time by feuding over an image. --General Insineratehymn 23:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

For the record, it's raining like all shit over here, and if anyone's time was wasting your time it was you. Now stop incesscently insisting on implementing an impregnated image. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

This editwar may be over, it may not be, but I'd like to say that the original image was far funnier and I personally loved it. I really think that changes to well-established templates like this one should really be subject to vote or discussion on Forum:Village Dump first. ~ Dame Ceridwyn ~ talk DUN VoNSE arc2.0 01:26, 29 May 2007

New one?

{{editprotected}} I have uploaded a new sockpuppet image. <- That one. Please change the image to that one. --ThrowSomeds 00:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

How about not? --General Insineratehymn 18:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

But it looks better and is a PNG, it should be used over the other one:

PNG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> JPG. ThrowSomeds 00:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Your's has fucked-up transparency. And besides, the old one is funnier. --General Insineratehymn 00:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Then I can make it transparent. ThrowSomeds 00:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. Your's is hideous. The one currently used is better. --General Insineratehymn 00:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

A sockpuppet is a sockpuppet. There may be appearance differences, but it is still a sockpuppet no matter what. ThrowSomeds 00:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

We don't care. The old one stays. --General Insineratehymn 00:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Get out of here Suilven -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

How about this?

You know what pisses me off?

Oh. My. Gawd. That. Right there. That newline. That unnecessary newline. It keeps me awake at night, you know, thinking, "Oh, if only the code in {{Sock}} read <br clear="all"/><noinclude> instead of that horrible, dreadful linebreak. That, and my cat's snoring.
