7 hours of various web searching



De.scription and Message

WOW !...I had no idea it was so time consuming searching for FREE forum icons. At least the quality ones. I've spent 7 hours downloading icon packs... then deleting what I didnt need. Only to have found maybe 15 worth using out of close to 40 downloaded sets.

Some icon packs are packed with cool stuff, but arent free and only allow 1 or 2 freebies.

So if anyone knows where I can download some really nice icons PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know !
Im about to burst an eye vessel over here.

Also feel free to save any icons I have found to use on your sites if they interest you at all.

And before I forget, I'm in desperate need of some type of UFO related rank images. Or anything paranormal..ghosts, aliens, ufo's etc etc.

By the way here is my forum where you can rip my found icons.

Nice site.
If I read any of it, I'd probably scare myself.

You make your own banners? Looking for new banners, but don't know where or how to start.

Thanx bro, and yeah I made all of those banners myself using a free trial, extremely easy to use banner maker app called "Banner Maker Pro 7".
Do a quick Google and you should be able to find it. Its a 15 day trial.
Also, did you know you can now create your own custom google search boxes ?

At the bottom of my homeportal I have installed one I created. With my font, colors, and logo at the top, that only indexes Paranormal content using my pre formatted keywords, and of course enabling the option for a general web wide search.

Oh by the way...I've hit the motherload of forum icons so feel free to hit me up if you want to get the URL for the site.

*.png images are the way to go so they look good on both light and dark backgrounds. I see jagged edges around some of your forumicons...

*.png ranks are also nifty

Find a small 16x16 png image, throw it into Photoshop and make it into levels by desaturating/lightening layers and you get something like...
