There is this weird thing at the top of the UCA page and it wasn't there last night. Anyone else see this? It reads
Look Who's Popular! Is this your photo? Upgraded to Plus for Additional Bandwidth.
..What is this, exactly?

I believe Photobucket has a limit of views/bandwidth on images.

Oh.. so long as it isn't something trying to scam us. I got paranoia of new things on websites. Always cautious I is.

Yes, my Photobucket account has exceeded its monthly 10 GB bandwidth limit. Never happened before, and I highly suspect some shenanigans involving people hotlinking to Monster Archives pictures for their own websites and thus leeching off my bandwidth, because I got the message that I was approaching the limit 4 days ago and it was at 90% then. An entire gigabyte of bandwidth in that amount of time, for what the pictures are being used for, is absurd. What's more, it hasn't even been close to the full month yet. It resets on whatever day it was that you created the account, which for me was on the 17th. So the 10 gigs were used up in like 16 days.
But anyway, everything should be back to normal on the 17th. Nothing I can do about it until then, because I refuse to pay for an account upgrade.

I dunno why does it try to make us pay while there are many free image hosting sites out there in the first place. Have you seen my suggestion about the pictures?

Have you seen my suggestion about the pictures? Regarding making new ones with monsters that are actually here? Yes. MM and I asked DinoHunter (who did the originals) like a year ago if he'd be up for making some new ones, but he declined. If you know of anybody that would be up for the task, by all means let me know.

For the sake of curiosity and conversation...
If we were to replace the icons, what beasts would we use?

I think putting well-known ones would be good. Like Armaggedon/Orsa, Quetzy, etc.

IIRC, Rosie, Thresher, Suchodon, NSG, Darktide, Quetzar, Asmodeus, Kasai Yogan, and Grimm. I THINK that's who we had discussed.

I'd see Asmo (or Persephone), Armaggedon, Quetzar, Darktide, Thresher, Kasai, Fenris and Talizan.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
This was hilarious to wake up to.
EDIT: And I'm leaning towards KC's suggestion. That way, most of our notable active members would have a character up there. We'd just need one spot for AK, if we went with that idea.

I do believe if we're getting new pics, it should be of current, top monsters of the UCA.
Rosie maybe popular, but I feel that Thresher sorta overshadows him, and Armageddon, well, he ain't going to be around much longer, with the whole Orsa thing and whatnot.
So I think KC's list works well, just replace Armageddon with Auroros.

There's 11 total buttons, but most members only see 10 total and 8 when logged in.
Home, New Topics, Help, Search, Members, Calendar, Admin, Profile, Login, Logout, Register.
Granted, the current Login and Logout buttons are the same except for the text, and that would probably be the case as well if we ever get new ones.
