for those of you who like av idols, http://scanlover.com/main.php/ has a fantastic collection of them, but there are some things you need to know about that site before surfing it:

1. don't click too quickly. you'll get one warning, and then you'll be kicked off for a day. i'm usually surfing in another window while i'm at scanlover. otherwise, counting to four or five keeps you in good stead.

2. whenever you click on a pic, always, always rate it. the site gives you 10 "mana" points per day. you use one up when you click on a pic without rating it. if you sign up for an account (which is free) there's a system that gets you more mana and experience points, but that's not really necessary if you follow these tips.

3. when saving a recently uploaded pic, you'll notice that the default filename is always "untitled.jpg" (or as i've found using IE, "untitled.bmp"). rename it to the following: Firstname_Lastname_0####.jpg. the "#####" refers to a unique number assigned to every uploaded pic, which you'll see in the url when you've clicked on a pic. after awhile, the filename for each pic is changed to that case-sensitive numerical format (you'll notice that when you download older pics). so, renaming it now to their format will help you keep track of what pics you already have.

4. occasionally, you'll click on a pic and not see anything. rate it anyway, and try again after a few seconds. otherwise you'll lose a mana point. also occasionally, you'll find that a pic you downloaded is a 14 kb png of a "scanlover.com" banner. they do that to you. this is another reason to take care in renaming the "untitled" pics to the aforementioned format, so you can go back and re-download the pic.
