Audition Online

People keep asking me to ask you guys to make an Audition Online userbox. If you do just say "This user plays Audition Online" Oh, and if you can make another one that says "This user plays 오디션" Vincent9679 (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Chorus Line Userbox

I have never created a userbox before so this is a bit shakey. But I thought that with the three or four for The Phantom of the Opera that there should be one for A Chorus Line.

This user is one singular sensation

'

Torananoha?

How about a Triangle Heart and/or Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha set? I'm not into the text icons, so maybe one of us can whip up a picture of a katana and/or a red orb for Raising Heart. I'm thinking

"This user thinks Fuwa-ryuu beats Mid-childa magic any day" with the sword and vice versa with the orb, or

for those that like the series equally, "This user practices Mikami-ryuu and Belka magic."

'The Abridged Series' Userboxes.

I was thinking, how about a few Userboxes on Abridged Series. For example: One for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series with the text saying: "Screw the Rules. I have Money." And then a box by the side reading "TAS".

Or "This user is not gay, this user is just british." with the side box thing reading "TAS". These are just suggestions but......

This user is a Jedi.

This user is a Jedi, like his father before him.

Like it. Prefer the latter. I'd appreciate it if you make a green and red sabres crossing instead. But I'll use the latter one if you don't plan to make another. Anthonydraco (talk) 14:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you made one.

This user is proud to be a mother.

Well done :-) I've put it onto a Template for you so you just need to use {{Template:User Mother}} to put the code onto your user page. Cheers, Sting au Buzz Me... 23:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fairness

This userbox is just a rough draft but if anyone wants to spruce it up a bit, I think it's would be really cool to have on your userpage.

Fair

This user believes that fairness is not a principle of nature, but a construct of the mind.

Nuts !?

I have no idea how to "do" a userbox, so would dearly love it if someone could create one for me that says "This user is highly allergic to nuts and almonds". Maybe somebody would be kind enough to make one? Thanks!! --Katie1971 (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right, how about...

This user is nuts because he/she is allergic to nuts.

Benny & Joon Userboxes

I have no idea how to make a userbox, I'm pretty new, and I would be ecstatic if someone could make 2 or 3 Benny and Joon ones. It is my favorite movie ever. 1. This user doesn't underestimate the mentally ill. They know how to count. 2. This user isn't a big supporter of the raisin counsil. 3. This user knows that avocados are fruits.

McFly (band) userbox

Could someone make a McFly userbox for me? Perhaps with "This user knows All About You" with the italic text linked to the McFly article. Using colours from | mcflyofficial.com?

JW's

I was looking at the userboxes on religion to make my page and I am interested in religion and I noticed that Jehovah's Witnesses did not have one and my suggestion is that someone should make one because there is over 6 million of them. And I was thinking it should be in black and say "Ths user is a JW", what do you think? Steelerfan -94 17:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hitch-Hiker

I was thinking there should be one that says, "This user is a Hitch-Hiker" showing the image of the The Hitcher from The Mighty Boosh.

This user is a Hitcher

What about Rutger Hauer character from The Hitcher :) one of the most genuinly freaky performances ever! Terrasidius (talk) 03:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm noob here

Some suggestions. First, for those (like moi...) who make more posts on talk pages than edits on pages:

{number}

This user has made {number} editorial comments.

where {number} is an auto-generated variable, like the "#posts" boxes". And

This user created {article}.

because I find the dark grey of the existing box makes links too hard to read. I thought I saw an automatic counter somewhere, like this somewhere... I wouldn't want to do it manually... As for the 2d, I'm using it now (in white & yello, tho). And then these:

This user created the article {article}.

This user is a member at plane.spottingworld

This user is a member at train.spottingworld

This user is a member at TrainSpottingWorld and PlaneSpottingWorld.

My thanks to BG 7 for making these for me. Discussion of free/non-free is here, & I think it's settled they're OK, but... Trekphiler (talk) 12:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abstinence Box?

I have an idea, and it would be great if somone could make it happen. how about a "This user can Crank That." or "This user can, and does, Crank That." —Preceding unsigned comment added by LinuxBov (talk • contribs) 20:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great idea. On a similar note, I'd also like to see one that regards celibacy. Like, "This user is a celibate" or something. As I'm something of a celibate, I'd use it. Pippin the Mercury (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Herts Uni

It'd be nice if there was a userbox for students who are currently and who have previously studied at University of Hertfordshire.
