What program is used by people taking alot of screenshots for AARs?

I was considering taking a few for the couple of PBEM games Im involved in with a little bit of commentary to try to draw some more attention and new players to PBEM.

King Kong a freebee has been recomended by several folk in the past Mus as you can take multiple shots before exiting.

I was not able to get it to work, but that may well be a 'Me thing', so I just use 'Sreenprint'; I have found 'Photobucket' is a good tool for housing the shots, just be careful to make sure when it transfers to the target site the aspect ratio is such to fit on the Hosts page, else you get massive wide pictures that you have to scroll accross to see and the text is at normal page size.

Here's a link that Randy at 'the Blitz' set up in case it may be of use.

and this link will show you some different styles of doing AARs (for FoF) in case you ain't done them before.

Good luck they are fun to do

I have screen hunter free. Like a number of other free programs it allows multiple shots during play but has the advantage of permitting the selection of the print screen key for the command button.

I don't use one, I just print-screen (or alt-print, or ctrl-print depending on what I want) and then just paste it into paint. 
 
I have used FRAPS before and could recommend it if the built in windows function doesn't work well for you.  One tip with FRAPS is in certain games (like Hired Guns) you have to set the fps meter on to be able to take a screenshot.
