Zoner Graphics Creation Services - Defined

Ok, I have to get a few things straight regarding my offer to create graphics for people using this forum.

Recently, I have gotten several requests from people who want me to do website graphics for them. Not single, stand-alone sigs, but multiple images and even full suites of images for their clan websites. Let's get a few things straight, right off the bat:

1) I do NOT create graphics for a living. I work 40 hrs a week in software testing. Yes, I do make sigs at work, but I really only make 1-2 a day now. It may take me 15 mins...the length of a typical coffee break.

2) From day 1, I never offered anything other than aa.com forum sig graphics. And even then, I said that I'd create graphics as time permitted...there was never a guarantee that I could do something if it was requested.

3) When I say "No" to a request, don't fucking ask me why. I do NOT have to explain my reasons for denying a request. I don't deny too many sig requests, as you all know. But when someone comes to me wanting me to build the GUI for a website and I say "Sorry, can't do it", then they ask "Well, why not?", that boils my piss.

So, bottom line is this: I don't do this for a living. I don't get paid for this. I have a life outside of aa.com. Your clan's website or your signature graphic do not mean as much to me as it does to you and your buddies. When I say no, I have a good reason. Even if I don't, questioning my motives will only make me see red and piss me off to no end.

If you need a sig, fine. If you need a website banner, fine. I'll see what I can do if I have time. The key phrase is "if I have time".

Sorry for ranting, but I had to clear the air because I was starting to feel like I was being taken for granted.

Man you have some talent and should be getting paid for some of the stuff you do. Any one asks for custom website stuff take advantage of it and make some extra cash.

There's a problem with that. I don't have time. If I had the time to do full website creation, I probably would.

Creating sites for gaming clans just isn't going to pay the bills, ya know?

hmmmm, well, I don't have bills to pay and I have lots, and lots of free time, I like doing HTML so what your saying is, I can make layouts for money? How much?

Thats true, but you must not have read all of his posts. When you have a job that takes up most of your time, AND pays you enough to survive, then there really is no point in trying to do something that will take alot of time as well as not pay all that much.

I don't mind someone asking me for a sig or a banner for their site. I offered to make them in the first place.

My point with this whole thing is that even though someone has requested a sig, it's not a given that I'll have time to do it.

My sigmaking workload has been lightened recently with the addition of some really great Photoshoppers and Paint Shop Pros, and I greatly appreciate the work they do. Magnum, Snipey, Deadbolt, Colonel, Anti, Proteus, DJ, Inny, Trippah, WR, guarnere just to name a few...keep up the good work. (I know I've missed some names...sorry).
