That is THE PROBLEM. No One uses good Netiquette anymore. First thing I did when I joined was browsed threw all the pages...grated that was only about 178 at the time. I figured out the rules that way, and figured out what was expected and I did that. I had a great experience. And now here I am iKon's #2 man for this theme.

Now we have people join up and just start posting away without even making an attempt. And what happens? You get called on the carpet for mild infractions by other members. Or a warning from the STAFF over even better there was someone BANNED for 3 days after being a member for 1 day because they broke so many rules in their first 10 posts.

I have come to realize that this is all part of the "Fast Food" or "Instant Gratification" mentality of the world we live in now or in extreme cases the "Entitlement Factor".
I am not gonna follow any rules, here are some crappy images that I from where ever, make me some icons, cause I am too lazy or stupid to even try to do it the right way.
[/RANT]

I might get banned for this rant, But it needs to be said...and I know I have 4-5 friends out there that will back me up 100%. The problem is that this is all in VAIN as no one reads anything in this thread, they only check to see if their crap has has been done, so it will be just like GROUNDHOG day tomorrow. We will do this OVER and OVER until someone SNAPS. (That being me)

[/RANT REALLY OVER]

This isn't directed soley at you, it is directed at all the newbies out there. Remember that we were all noobs once. But some of us you would never know because to took the time to figure out how to NOT look like a NOOB.

100% correct. The reason this thread is "too long to search through" as many of you claim is because probably 30% of it is the same posts from us telling people how many icons to request per post, provide the correct app names, search because their request has been filled previously, and how to provide the extracted artwork to get quality results. Everyone wants a quick response, as do we, but please try to figure out the rules before diving headlong into a request.

SNIP.

SNIP

There will be no punishment for your "rants" because you guys contribute so much to this thread, and I understand your frustration. I will simply say that I hope new members will take the time to read the forum rules and follow them. I am going to start keeping a close eye on this thread, and will take action on those who refuse to follow the forum rules, which are clearly posted and easily accessible. Now let's try to get back on topic.
Some people dont have time to keep an eye on the threads. This forum is not setup that well at all. If you look at modmyi you can search within the threads and also click on the paper clip on the thread and it will show all attachments. I wish they would implement that here.
Thanks NateBoat! For your imput.

@ omg it's nate - We don't expect anyone to try and keep up. That is why we ask you do a simple google search before making requests and as darkman pointed out that probably 30% of the posts in this HUGE thread is one of us artists copying and pasting the same rules over and over. There are some pages where the rules have been posted up to 4 times, but that doesn't seem to help.


Now who needs some ICONS made!!!???:D
ModMYI and MT use different forum boards..So yes of course the setup is going to be different. I agree that it can be tedious to find icons sometimes, but that's one of the drawbacks of theming, there's some effort involved ;)

Anyways....Like GT said..

It's ok, i got it...
and i also know thats not directed at me... so i was reading page 1-60; and 300-517; it's a lot :)
So i found some new icons (like Sandstorm, etc.)
but i couldn't find 2 (HockeyInfos [its a really new, german app for fieldhockey, and there arent that many people, who uses this app], the second is "iBubble Shooter Pro" [i think i found the old pic of the lite version, but not the new one]) would be rly cool if u can do them, but hope theres no problem for u...
btw: im rly sorry for my bad english, im not a native speaker...

Quick tip for people looking for icon help. If you already have the app installed on your iPhone, go into your iTunes mobile applications folder, for example:

C:UsersdarkmanMusiciTunesMobile Applications

and copy the .ipa file of the app you're asking for to your desktop.
Next, change the extension from .ipa to .zip and extract the iTunesArtwork file, add .jpg to the end of it and you will have given the icon makers a non-gloss, high resolution image for us to work with.

Dude its not that hard, there's been many many idiots in this thread, but they've all been able to follow the basic instructions in order to provide proper artwork; you can too. Otherwise, no one will make your icons, its as simple as that.
Alright I am stepping in here! :-!

Here is a prime example of why we want extracted artwork....

These are your icons made with the sources you provided.
ImageImage
Yuck! Puke! Gross. There are too many words to describe this.
This theme is NOT about GLOSS, if you want GLOSS, Turn off Winterboard, or go find a GLOSSY Theme.

I dug through the German iTunes store and got extracted artwork and this is what they look like
ImageImage

Yipee! Wow those are Mona Lisa's compared to the others.

If you can't see why we want EXTRACTED ARTWORK now, then learn to make you own.
Extracted Artwork Provides better results with LES WORK!!

I will not go do all of the HEAVY LIFTING for you again, So I guess you get a couple of freebies.
I hope you understand where we are coming from.

Thank u sooooooooooooooooooooo much :) :) :)
Hope ill do it correct next time..
So on the screenshot thread ive seen many people with a paper airplane mail icon. I would provide extracted artwork and ask for it to be illuminized, but i do not have it. Just wonderin if one has ever been made before, or if someone could provide me with one. Thanx! :D

That is because that is a Custom Icon for another theme. You would need to get permission and post it with what ever source you are able to get from the original artist and someone will convert it for you.

But you must have permission, because porting icons is a BANNABLE OFFENSE.
And I don't plan on getting Banned.
