I was always wondering why nobody ever had a pic in their sig... and when newbies came along that did it, they were spat upon. I think we need to lay down some rules about it... avatars will bring color to an otherwise mundane page(yeah yeah, they'll eat up bandwidth too).

anyway, I propose some people get some avatars as long as

1) they arn't obscene(as in, big and distorted, broken, huge, etc)
2) They are small files( will take less time to load)

The more exotic, the better. PSP and Photoshopers have an upper hand here.

If you have links to sites that have avatars that meet these requirements, please post 'em.

I read a discusion on Armageddon Games Forums about some guy wondering if his porno avatar was ok. Basicly it came down to...

Though I'm not offended by it, just others are... And it doesn't add a good mature reputation to the board to see half naked women littered around....


Same thing with me, I don't want other people (parents, teachers) to see that when I'm online. I didn't so much mind the anime girl avatars, but they didn't show enough to offend anyone or to get me into trouble. I just think that questionable avatars in general shouldn't be allowed.


then the other side of it was

quote:
Face it, Cronic's avatar has no nudity whatsoever, and it is no more revealing than many of the girls you see on the front covers of such magazines as Maxim, Sports Illustrated, and just about every car magazine and every "men's health" magazine that you see on the racks at your local store. Cronic's avatars don't even fall into the area of being sexual. Sensual, yes, but not sexual. It would be different if these were images of lesbians holding eachother, or a couple having sex but with nothing showing, but no; these are posing images: exactly the stuff you find in convenience store magazines which are sold to everyone.

personaly I wouldn't want someone to see me looking at it.

Actually, unless you're hosting the pic on the stripcreator server, Brad's bandwidth won't really be impacted.

But since the only two avatars I see on this page are an "Image hosted by Tripod" box and one that seems (Or seemed. It looks fine now that I've hit preview.) to mess up the tables for some reason, I think this thread shows why they're unpopular.

mine only messed up the table because there wasn't enough room to write the stuff to get it to show up in the signiture part of the edit account sectioin, and if you need to to upload to a place that alows remote loading try MSN Communities. you can make an MSN community, upload a picture into that. thats what I do.
and if JrnymnNate was talking about the pic of the 2 chicks kissing, I'll take it out.

It still doesn't seem right to me. The graphic is too busy and tall when small. Maybe without the background...

Maybe the icon thing gabe has going works, but I'm going to have to work on this. Back to the drawing board.

I'd like to see someone laugh their ass off. That would be pretty entertaining. But then I suppose you'd have to call an ambulance.

Actually, has anyone ever rolled on the floor, laughing? I don't think I've ever seen anything, anywhere, funny enough to make me lose motor control.

Plus how can you type it when you are acutually doing it. Makes no sense, and if I done it me dad might get a bit mad at chucking the laptop on the floor just to laugh.

Hey, Bazilla, here's a clue(tm) for you.

If somebody posted a picture to this forum three months ago, and you only got a red X, and you told everyone, and they said they could see it, and it must be just your AOL connection and security settings blocking the picture, and this whole process was repeated approximately fifteen billion times since then, maybe now is the time to stop telling us you see a red cross. Feel free to announce with much fanfare when you work out how to actually see the images in question, but we don't need to be told about the red crosses any more, just as you, I am sure, do not need to be told yet again that your AOL settings are fucked.

Do we have a deal?

I am sceptical (that's English for "skeptical") about any forum which comprises of twice as much .sig as message-body...

That said, I will be jumping on the bandwagon with a graphical .sig on here, once I come up with a fun idea for what to use...

I keep wanting to blend that "c" right into the "s" from sceptical and read it to mean that you're full of shit. :)

I remember back in the day, I used to post on a board that was roughly 90% .sig. Hell, what can I say but it was fun?
