AVATARS .. and YOU

[nachos]

Nachos Looks to the left.

Nachos sees that there are no pretty pictures.

Nachos looks up and thinks to himself "If i was a wonder god at women et-cetera, i'de enable avatars in the forums"

Nachos the wonders if there will be anyone as kind enough to answer him.

Time may be the elixour of the wise, but nachos is waiting for answers, answers that may have never existed in the first place.

Bok Choy.

Oh wait according to members of sosuave mods are only allowed to hijack threads. Well lets see here I'm a mod in two other sites so that gives me basic rights to hijack and not have a life.

Wyldfire observes somewhat bad attempts by forum members to form sentences in third-person.

Wyldfire shakes her head.

Guys...he spoke in THIRD-Person, not freaking baby talk.

We think so.

We will now speak in royal we because we like it.

 

[nachos]

Hahah nice attempt... caveman me stupid talk != 3rd person talking

anyway

There is no real reason to ban the avatars, personally, 'there gay' and 'childish' dont cut it....


there cool, bring personallity to your posts and give the site a warmer feel.. not only that iddiots with porno avatars can be banned and if bandwidth is the issue, use off-site avatars only.

I am a genious.

admins enable avatars before i run u into the ground any further ;-)

Trust me I've tried in the mod corner with no success. Its just not gonna happen

 

[The Darkness Uprise]

Can't you try using the "search" button? Here are a few posts I found just by searching "avatar:"

Not for her...she's adorable and just has this thing about using "me" instead of "I" sometimes.

Actually, now that I think about it...it honestly doesn't make much sense not to have avatars. They don't take up a lot of space, it would be easy to have some to select from or allow people to resize their own images and upload them to their profile.

Sure, there would be a potential for lameness and what not...but there's one forum I belong to where the members are incredibly creative with the avatars. I've seen some incredibly cool ones. Maybe Allen will consider allowing them on a trial basis just to see how it goes. I mean, what harm will it do to give it a try? There are lots of creative posters on here and I bet they would come up with some damn cool avatars.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

- They're gay and childish.

- They clutter the forum.

- They're an eyesore.

- There's a bandwidth issue.

- For off-site avatars, there are issues such as those of us who access this site while at work who don't want to get nailed for "looking" at objectionable material on the 'net (one guy I know has an image (a perfectly normal one) in his signature line that is linked from his own homepage, which is called "pornman.net" or some damn thing... so then the filter caught the word "porn" and I had to deal with our Information Security department, which is unpleasant).

- I don't wanna have to deal with posters who put swasticas, political images, porn, "tubgirl"-type images, advertising, seizure-inducing flashing .GIFs, etc. in addition to all the other sh*t that posters do in the current "text-only" environment.
