3. Scroll down to find your username, it should look something like this:

(no, the actual sticker doesn't look like this, this is an obvious case of smearing the image to avoid people messing with it)

5. Download the image and use it however you please =D

The next time I am hosting something like this, I will make sure to remove the emails option, my case of "convenience card" doesn't help that it ends up in me having to handle so much of data.

I am putting the emails through a shredder, your privacy shall not be exploited, in any case, AT ALL.

I am it sound like a dramatic execution like a kind of privacy executioner saying, "Off with their emails!"

Jokes aside, I respect that so many of you trusted me with your information, but since the task is done, I shall no longer hold on to that information.

The stickers will be available throughout the month, so in case you missed it and wanted to access it.

After that, it will be archived and if you wish, you could ask me. I have an offline copy of it all.

Thank you all for participating and thanks for making it a success — that's a wrap!
