Test…trying it on for size…a little snug in the hips but it might fit with a couple of washes. ---

Mine’s an obvious one for me, but it’s also what I’d get as a tattoo, if I were to ever get a tattoo. ---

I am glad that they haven’t gone the way of other boards and given everyone a placeholder avatar. Can the mods delete avatars from users? Like, if someone uploaded a dick pic, could the mods delete it immediately or would they have to get TubaDiva to do it? ---

So Tippy’s been screwing with my family for three generations. So, turtles all the way down, huh? 🙂 ---

That often works well for small logo-like images. ---

I am currently considering a change in avatar. I am slow to decide these things. No one goes shopping with me because of this indecision issue I have. Bear with me. If it bothers anyone I will turn it off. ---

I don’t think you’re really being dissed. 12 or 13 years ago they would have used me as the example of someone posting at a high rate. You are just the current newish poster than pops up in an overly large number of threads. At some point it would have been Guin and there have been others. ``` As to the huge signature pics, my wife spends time browsing Disney message boards. These things are horrid nightmares of animated and giant letters overwhelming the actually posts. ``` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/avatar-criticism-thread/819453.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/avatar-criticism-thread/819453.md?page=9)
