I feel a little bit bad. Hwanni has been our trusted translator for a long time and we haven't treated him near as good. He even translated interviews for GSL3 qualifiers.

Don't get me wrong, John is awesome, but I think Hwanni needs some love also.

Was a fan before, became a fan forever with that speech at the GSL Finals. It really resonated with me, because I had all sorts of crazy dreams about being a writer or columnist years ago, and I never did anything about it until 2005, when it actually happened. John's speech expressed how I feel better than I could.

Poster signed. Junkka forever!

Hey guys,

I love the idea of signing the image and sending it to him, however the problem of everyone signing it and then resaving it is that .jpg isn't a lossless format, meaning the more times it gets signed and saved, it's going to lose quality, and it will eventually look terrible.

Not everyone uses the same photo editing software, however, if everyone could sign it using black on a white background it can be added to the image in one go and only have to be resaved once, thus greatly preserving the quality of the final image.

Here's the template (you can have it whatever size you like, but the more signatures the smaller they will have to be):
[image loading]

(yes, it's a plain white image)

Here is how you add your signature:
[image loading]

Just save it as a .jpg file in your editing software and post it here.

Here is the implementation using the layer blending set to "darken":
[image loading]

Of course, this is just a suggestion, but as I said, the more times a jpg file gets saved, even using the best quality, it will eventually degrade into a poor quality mess.

Vinn, the artist, suggested this to me as well. I thought this way people could sign wherever they like/in cool ways, but I hadn't considered quality loss. I'll add in everyone's sigs with my mad PS skills
