I’m enjoying it! I love to see the changes you’ve made. I’ll definitely try out the custom images!
After trying out a few custom backgrounds, it looks like it has to be a certain size to look good. It scales it down, but it kinda looks squished. It’s really cool if you can get an image the right size, though!
You asked for a hex code for purple before, yeah?
How about this one? 591BE0
Or is that purple too dark?
PS - You should add the custom background thing to the OP so people don’t miss it.

Thanks man 
I just got a lot of views after I posted that last post. Almost more than 2500 views today

Tried this color, but it’s too dark for my liking. I guess I’ll just keep it on the current color, or if you want, I can give you the background without any color and you could do it the custom background way.
I’m not going to be adding the custom background to the OP since I’m not sure whether I’m going to be adding it to the site itself.

Thanks! I just kinda found it randomly on Google. I thought it looked awesome!

I think you should. It’s really cool, and it’s a good option for people who want it. One question, though. Is there some way to do the custom background and still have your Spartan posed too?
EDIT: And now the custom background ones don’t seem to work at all. Any idea why?
Heavy traffic is hitting my website at the moment…
Over 2770 views in a single day is something my server isn’t happy with 
And that’s just views of the homepage, the gamercards are also quite heavy on the server, and it’s starting to take it’s toll.

Well, at least you know you’re popular. Hope you get something figured out!

Oh god, I just wanted more traffic, but not over 2000 views in a day
It keeps going offline D:
Why must my work be so popular!

Checked up on the error with the hosting’s support chat.
> “You’ve received this error because your website has received more than 600 hits* per 5 minutes (which is out of the ordinary / non-standard for shared hosting).”
Great. Awesome, but just great.
Nice job.
Very cool, I bookmarked your page.
> Very cool, I bookmarked your page.
Thanks, it’s great to know that people like it enough to bookmark and come back to it
Thanks! Now if only I were high enough forum rank to have a signature…
PLEASE REGENERATE ANY GAMERCARDS YOU’RE USING
I’ve redone the generating system to make the images load faster and decrease stress on my server during peak hours when it usually goes down. Sorry for any inconveniences, but this will solve a ton of problems in the long run.
Great Job!
> Great Job!
Thanks!
Oh, and expect a new layout soon, I’ve got the design down, and I’ll add it after my exam tomorrow.
How do I regenerate it if it has a custom background? There’s no option for it on the site.
> How do I regenerate it if it has a custom background? There’s no option for it on the site.
Use the old link with the custom image and stick this at the end of it: “¤tnumber=custom”
Then you can use one of the new links and replace the numbers at the end with “custom” and you’ll have the custom background.
I’ve done it for you already, here you go: www.armorwatcher.com/gamercard/v1/large/SensoryFour34_custom.png
Note that it won’t update dynamically anymore, so bookmark the link old link (+ the custom name thing) to generate it when you want to update it, you’ll only have to load the page and it’ll work
The reason they’re not dynamic anymore is because it was taking my website down due to it’s popularity. This way, it won’t take my site down anymore.
