I was too lazy to look very hard, but a search for avatar turned up little info. and none of it helped. So…Do I have to purchase a subscription before I can use my avatar?? 
Thanks
No, avatars are disabled on this message board, due to bandwidth considerations.
Nope–no avatars on the SDMB.
Thanks!
Sorry, no avatars for anyone. This board is quite bandwidth-intensive and focused more on content than flashy visuals. Quite a few features are turned off in order to accommodate the high traffic here.
But come on in anyway! The water’s fine. 
O.K. here’s another one. Why doesn’t my location show up on my posts??
THAT you can have when you pony up for a membership. Also your post count and the ability to search past threads.
GROOVY…it’s all about the $$, huh? :smack:
Well, the goats do have to be fed, after all.
Goats? Did we upgrade from the hamsters?
Or do you mean the ones used in the initiation?
Lok
Well, no, we don’t feed the hamsters, exactly. Don’t they eat posts?
Lord no, they are what power the place. Why, if they stop running in their wheels, the entire place with come to a halt.
Lok
The goats actually eat the hamsters!
Strike that. Reverse it.
The hamsters eat the goats. These are no ordinary hamsters.
Hamsters need to eat?
So that’s what’s been going wrong… I think I know what we can do for our next board upgrade.
We must feed the goats. For one cannot felch a starved-to-death goat.
…err… uhhhh… on second (and quite unpleasant) thought, maybe one can.
:eek:
See, that’s why they had to start charging… they’d just buy some hamsters, put them to work, and a couple days later, it’s time for more hamsters. They’ve started feed them, and now they don’t have to buy so many hamsters. See? All part of the circle of life. Too bad about the goats, though…
Yes. Apart from goats, they eat Kraft Cheese Food; this means that the cheese starves, without cheese food to eat.
Won’t somebody think of the cheese?!!?!?
No?
Well, if it’s going to starve anyway, I guess it’s time to cut the cheese loose …
