    [​IMG] For those like myself who have only recently joined, there is a point of curiosity as to how specific members got their avatars. Some you can guess at (mods and SPS Account holders), but others are less obvious.

    So for anyone who wants to, you can explain here and quench our burning desire for knowledge (read trivia). :grin:

    Shortly after I joined SP I purchased a game through SP. Not sure but it may have been ToB. Whatever it was cheap. I figure I got my avatar for about 0.02 US$!

    I've purchased numerous things through the Amazon link here. It may not amount to much, but every little helps...

    Said the monkey as he weed in the sea. :D

    Submitted a BG2 NPC guide. It was crappy, I should take it down or rewrite it or something...

    It was written when I was like 12.

    I think I bought some books or maybe a game . . . whatever, the guilt of getting an avatar for something as small as that got the best of me and I started donating money (and now time).

    I like this place and the people, so it's all worth it.

    I have pictures of Tal and BTA at a petting zoo. Heavy petting at the petting zoo, if you get my drift. :p

    Actually, it was a straight up donation about 4 years ago.

    A small donation. I had a bit more than 600 posts back then, I think.

    I started out by submitting an items making tutorial and a DoMT walkthrough.

    Then, when I switched over to my current Avatar, I paid for an SPS account. :thumb: :rolling:
