Sometimes you may feel the urge to show off your gaming prowess to the rest of the crowd via forum signatures or an avatar. Because let's face it, bragging can be fun. But for whatever reason, you may find this helpful in doing just that.MyGamerCard.net is a simple site that allows you to convert your Gamercard to a JPG (including BBCode) or Flash to embed in a website. It comes in three themes: default, mini (150x100), and micro (80x80). The site also sports a leaderboard with over 30,000 members, so get over there and throw your card into the ring.

#1 - That iframe does not work on message boards which do not allow HTML code, whereas the JPEG works like a champ...as long as the site is up, which it seems not to be at the moment.

Sure, but if you want to post it in any given forum, or MySpace... you'll hit a roadblack, since neither support IFrames.
Since it renders the card simply as an image file (It's actually a PNG.. 'jpg' is just there because 'the masses' are more used to it), more doors to sharing the card are open.
Also, as of this particular writing, our host is upgrading our RAM... cute timing of the post, though I certainly appreciate it. :)

I just HATE any type of forums that allows images in the signatures... specially when some 1337 K1dd13 makes a giant banner to show how cool he is. This'd be more useful if you modded the forum itself to pull it into the area below the avatar... or in place of the avatar. Of course, then you're relying on this third party website to make sure your forums are showing up properly. Eh, I'll just hack my own forums eventually to link directly to xbox.com.
Thanks anyways ;)

Modeps, yup for webmasters its quite easy to hack your forums and use the xbox.com iframe gamertags in place of avatars. That's what we do at http://forums.360insider.net -- In vBulletin it takes just 1 custom field and 1 line of code in your template :)
mygamercard is great though if you want to post your gamercard in other odd places (or if you're a webmast and want to resize peoples gamercards).
