Actually we passed 40,000 4 days ago, the server didn't update the numbers until midnight of the 2nd.  ;)

I agree, but I guess only those who can actually see who has contributed significantly and can see those kinds of statistics can properly thank them.  ;)

Is there a list that has how images people have submitted?  I've submitted 415 (a few more coming in a couple weeks) and I'm curious on how high or low I rank.

No, but as of the end of March you were in the top 10 in terms of total submissions, with, oddly enough, 415 submissions.

Wow, didn't think I would be that high.  I would submit more, but I just don't have anymore games.  Except for the last couple games I've purchased everything I own is already in the database.

I know my submisions has droped drasticly the past number of months.  Basicly I ran out of games from my personal collection to submit and am trying to figure out a way to get screenshots.  Problem is, I cant figure out a way to get decent looking ones that are large enough to fit with the 550 size.

So far the best I can get is stuff like this.....

I guess they'd work, but they feel too blury for me.

Screen shots don't need to be 550 pixels. Keith can help you more then I can.

I use Easy Thumbnails to make all my screens 550 wide unless the emulator I'm using makes them 550 or smaller.

That's what I use as well for game scans.  Problem is the capture device I use does them small.  Also, they look blury as ever.  If they look fine then I'll just run with those but they still dont look right to me.

Easy Thumbnails can make stuff bigger as well.

Personally I strongly believe all screenshots should be taken in their native resolution (or close to) enlarging screenshots, or using graphic filters is just plain wrong in my opinion.

I agree. At the same time there are so many variables like scanlines, comb filters, brightness, contrast, resolutions etc for different TV's. Myself I use 640x480, no filters or scanlines with the gamma turned up just a tad, makes for good screens.  ;)
