Greetings, tgchanites! Tgchanners! Whatever your preferred term is, I have noticed a trend in the past few months in my position as favicon... setting... guy. Favicon wrangler?
That trend being that people appear to not be aware that they can request custom favicons for their quest threads! Historically, you were always able to post a small, 16x16 icon somewhere on the boards, usually the discussion thread for the quest in question, or find some other way of giving a link to the staff, be it posting a link or asking on IRC or what have you.
"But Cirr," I pretend you cry, "what even is a favicons?"
Depending on what browser you've been using, you'll see a small graphical icon somewhere on the tab or window of whatever thread you're currently looking at! As you can see from the picture to the left or above this text depending on your resolution, you can easily identify the quests in question if you're familiar with their icons. This makes browsing multiple quests at a time much less of a pain, and gives the quest itself a little more of a personal touch than that boring placeholder >_ you're accustomed to seeing!
"But Cirr," I envision you perhaps saying in one of countless realities, "my quest ended a while ago! Why should it even matter?"
Well, some day people will read your archived quest, hopefully! Especially if you have a wiki article, hint hint! That's a topic best discussed over here, though: >>/meep/364 And then it will be convenient for them then too! That's right! If your quest is archived, it can still be fitted with an appropriate favicon for easy identification in tabs/windows/bookmarks/whatever!
"But Cirr, 16 by 16 is just too small! I gotta draw BIG!"
Well then are you in luck. This is probably asking for trouble from my perspective, but if you really don't want to make your own favicon, ask me for a favicon in this thread and there is a slight chance I might get around to making one for you!!
Given my notoriously glacial rate of progress, however, I would highly recommend you make your own favicons, however. If I do make a favicon I'll be posting it here first for the requesters to okay or not.
Incidentally, if you don't have a quest discussion thread and want somewhere to post your favicons, you can do it here too!
