Avatars

Thanks, PTB

And… they are live!

So. Much. Winning.

Yes, it is!

. . .it’s too much winning.

Group formed. If you did not get a PM and wish to join, contact me or one of the other admins.

Are ad avataram attacks permitted outside the Pit?

Yes.

Avatars are the absolute worst.

It remains a mystery why you use them at other MB’s, like The Gweeb.

I am interested.

Says the user with an avatar.

My main problem is that I don’t think any of the existing themes look good with avatars. The image is just out there. Though maybe this has to do with the avatars themselves: many are dark and boxy looking.

It’s safest to never assume ole drunky is being serious.

To qualify for membership, you need an average of at least 50 posts per day within your first five days of joining the board. You’re off to a strong start, but need to step it up a little. Good luck!

Then you may not like this board. We think about things. A lot. Naming the pros and cons is a good thing. Discussing the possible downsides is a smart thing to do.

And, while we may not have rules about avatars (yet), our number one rule is “don’t be a jerk.” It is very likely that jabs against avatars would cross the line. Jabs against usernames usually do. You can’t call me “BigTurd,” for example.

Well, outside our (mostly) free-for-all forum, The Pit.

While I understand it’s just a battle of anecdotes:

All the things you mentioned don’t happen on the dozen or so boards with avatars I’ve belonged to over the years. Going back to the late 1990s. :shrug:

An occasional comment about a provocative avatar. No more than that.

Remember, we’ve had them for less that 24-hours. I’m guessing the mods will work out the kinks in how they look and work with the various themes.

You know now that you said that, that’s going to be your new nickname in the Pit, right? :wink:

I’ve assigned Vinyl Turnip as your mentor.

What about a blood sacrifice? Does expedite things so I get into the super exclusive coordinated avatar group?

I’d never result to name calling, but I will say the thumb tack is the superior monopoly piece :wink:
