This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

I'm just wondering what I have to do to continue downloading wallpapers. Should I post at forums? Make my own wallpapers?

I registered so that I could download wallpapers and didn't expect I would be forced to participate in any kind of conversation. Can discussion even stay enjoyable if it's forced on people? I think not. What do you others think?

Now I noticed that I can't download scans either. What does this "You need at least x papers to download this scan, your current balance is x" mean and what's it for?

This is really annoying. So many great pictures but I can't get them. It's not anyones loss if I'd get them...

I dont mind having to post to be able to download more. forums like these are actually fun to post in. and im not sure if im right or not but i think it helps with bandwidth or something cuz the contribution thing prevents massive amounts of downloading or something. not sure if that made sense or not =\

You can download wallpapers even without posting but I think its only limited to 15 per day. As for scans well yes it requires papers.

There's a limit to the amount of walls you can download per day, but for scans you need papers which you earn by posting and such... This is to prevent leechers. I think there's an FAQ or policy thing for this somewhere... And yes there is a loss if you take them without contibuting to this community... BANDWIDTH.

This forum really seems nice and I've enjoyed posting and reading threads, but I don't care much about this impractical "contribution system".

Does that stack? Can I download 30 wallpapers at Tuesday if I download none tomorrow?

What's the reason behind this "paper system" when downloading scans and how does it work?

YOu can only download 15 wallpapers a day i belive. also you must have 50 papers to download a scan. papers are gained by posting in forums or submitins wallpapers, that sort of thing. Read the AP guide and you'll get a good understanding of how the site works.

I love the way this site works. Leeching a lot of pictures off the site is lame, it's better to help give back to the site your downloading from, it takes bandwidth and money to put all this up. IF you give back in wallpapers or discussion in the forums it's still worth it in my opinion.

Eh... wallpapers don't "stack".. it backtraces 24 hours and if you've hit 15 wallpapers then no more, but even if you hadn't gotten any for a week it'll still be 15 per 24 hours..... and if you don't contribute other then dowloading wallpapers/scans every day, then you'll get banned!

as for scans, you have to have papers... you can get papers by posting in forums, commenting wallpapers, or contributing wallpaper/scans to the site....

if you're only wanting to download stuff and not "give back some" then you shouldn't be in this place cuz it'd just be leeching and people get pissed about stuff like that! we are a "give and take" site, not just a "take"... this site is a place to show/make/share art with a network of friends. w/out our balance then hundreds would be coming and not "connecting" with the site other then to "get some cool wallies" and it would take the exclusiveness, closeness, and maturity away from this great site...

read teh user guide/faq cuz everything is in there...
hopefully you'll understand the system and grow to enjoy it...

Can you really enjoy forced discussion? I do like talking and diving into arguments but forcing them seems just plain wrong. Conversation should be had for it's own sake, not because you want to gain something from it. At least that's what I think.

**EDIT**
Ooh! I've already gotten papers... Here I come, Mitsuki-chan! ^^

Is it so hard to post though? Once again the creator and overlord of this site (sucking up so bad) created the site not only view and retrieve walls and scans, but to interact with those who do so. Imagine making a site in which no one gives feedback to but they continue to reap the benefits of the site at the cost of your $$ and Bandwidth... It costs money man. The least you could do is post a message or two...

Well.. when you hit 15 wallies in a day... don't try to outsmart the system, that's just childish and dumb!

if you're getting upset cuz you hit "15" then go pass the time with something else

go post in the forums or go do something productive with your time, like making a wallpaper of your own... if you cannot find something else to do for 24 hours, then man... the situation is sadder then i thought.. :/

Not sad really. I know those scans and wallpapers would start haunting me, knowing they are there but I can't get to them. I have no qualms about posting and contributing to the site, but I'm just one of those people who dislike waiting and want everything at once. :P

*pokes Taplo

By now youve gained enough papers for at least 2 scans no? They range from 25-50 papers each.. Not that hard.. Patience is a virtue...

Just read the guide. It's all in there. You don't have to post on the forum - you can give useful comments on walls, for example.

Not my virtue it seems. I'll try however.

To say something useful I'd have to be able to make a better wallpaper so I think I'll just stick to the forums. Or can you get a paper by complimenting those walls?
