== Custom Sprite Sub-project? ==
Many people has recently asked me to make Custom avatar sprites as their personal pics for their user pages.  Do you think it's possible that I could get a little help with that and forming a sub-project for the custom sprites mainly for the use of making sprites for other users?  This is just an idea...so if it's not fine, then just forget about this...tell me what you think.--[[Bulbapedia:Project Custom Sprite|<font color="brown"><small><sup>☆</sup></small></font>]][[User:Tavisource|<font color="teal">Tavis</font>]][[User talk:Tavisource|<font color="gray"><small>ource</small></font>]] 16:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

== Okay, umm, problem... ==
I went to sign in at the Archives under the user name "0 Degrees". Since my old account had been merged to the unified login system, this one already was. So, I entered the same password as the one I use here, but it said that the password was incorrect. I then tried to have the Archives e-mail me a new password, but it said that there was no user called "0 Degrees". So, I went to try to create an Archives account called "0 Degrees", but it said that the name was already taken. So, what am I supposed to do now?
