TOPIC: Forum Signature Token Images

I've seen a few images of "tokens" in various places in the forum - the "thank you cookie" etc. - and I was wondering who was making them, how, etc. Is there a collection or repository for them anywhere?

There was , but it hasn't aged well

I also sometimes make fake token images (Fauxens). I've seen a couple others do it. Personally I was inspired by Druegar. I build mine in Paintshop Pro. I don't have index of them, and some of the older ones are lost to time (dang you photobucket).

The current forum fauxen culture as I understand it:

A) Currently everyone makes/uses their own images. Typically people don't give/use someone else's fauxens. "Quoting" an img is typically cool. I did have a footer showing the Druegar fauxens I had been "given" in posts. I called them my badges of honor.

B ) I've never seen anyone criticized for the quality of their token image, so you don't need to be a graphics pro to enjoy making / posting them.

C) Try not to upload giant token imgs as to not bog down the forum page load times.

D) Please don't print fake token images and put them on real life tokens.

E) If you build your own blank token background, please don't distribute it. You don't want to put something out there that could be used to make counterfeit tokens.

Druegar: I wish you had an index page on your website listing them. You've made some cool ones over the years, and I miss some when I'm off the forums for months.

I just made one for Wade: "Wade's Amulet of Drinking" Did it down and dirty in PS and AI. I don't know all the fonts so I did close approximations.

I’ve made all of mine in MS Paint using a lot of patience and self loathing
