Victor Erthal Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Why is everybody changing avatars??? Is it a goal for the end of the year? To mess with all avatars? Im not complaining, but its like everybody started to do plastic surgery so that they wont be recognized anymore. All familiar faces are gone... :angesigh: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I didn't know we could use animated gif's as avatars--must be a new feature of the board software. I may inflict my tube guy animated on CGA, like it is on my website. Then again I may not, it could quickly become annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Denby Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I would have had this from the start had I known you could have your own custom one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I changed mine because I was tired of the marriage proposals. Originally posted by Dibbers: I would have had this from the start had I known you could have your own custom one. It's a shame too. The other one was so scary I think it cost you some ratings stars. If Richard's ever wondered why he's a 2-star general, maybe it's because his avatar looks like the clown from "It". Scary, scary, scary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullen Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 this may be a stupid question, but how to I set up an avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Erthal Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hey fran, i guess the guys still remember you old avatar and your picture too. The proposals will keep coming!!!! :ebiggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgarcia Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Got tried of my old one. The new one is inside my father's BMW 745Li, with the navigation screen doing crazy stuff. Gotta love digital cams. My old one is a project from school 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Erthal Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hey xgarcia, now you've mentioned the BMW, i guess you will recieve some proposals just like fran did! :ngelaugh: :ngelaugh: :ngelaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I changed mine because I was tired of the marriage proposalsHad I known you were accepting marriage proposals...oh, heck, that won't work, you are already married, and for that matter, so am I. And neither of us live in Utah. I even have the two kids of my own, but no minivan! Not even a stationwagon! But you can only get five in my Jeep, so next has to be a seven person car (I can still only dream of the Bimmer, and my father drives a wreck). But no minivans! No, I resist! I will buy the new ugly-as-sin Vo-vo SUV. It's a padded cell on wheels. Keep those kids safe. Oh, come on Fran, there are so few women here that we need a little visual reminder of the true beauty in this world. Given the choice of looking at a woman or some cups, I would take the former anyday. Well this discussion is headed downhill, with me pulling the sled. It feels like a Friday in the US, forgive us.

Victor Erthal Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Personaly i agree with Ernest, there should be some more visual female presence on the avatars, since the topic "post your girlfriend pic" just resulted in strat's mullet!!!! orangeno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Erthal Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hey strat, dont get angry about it! I didn't mean to hurt your fellings, its just that i was hoping to see some realgirl there ant then... well, guess what i see. You must agree with me that it was such a disapointment... :ngelaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 yeah, you're right. im not being shovanist now but i love women of all shapes/sizes/colours/ages etc etc and i'd love to see more females posted here, even if they are girlfriends/wives. i'll rekindle my original post tomorrow i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 well... avatars... people like them so much... I wonder why... imho other members can get so stuck with an image so that eventually a totally different person is thought behind it... which can be extremely awful once you meet the people irl (in real life...) Some images are neutral... But an image can be so happy that we might forget there is a person with real feelings behind... Or the other way around... I even do realise - unfortunately I must say - that I don't answer in the same atmosphere to posts of people with a 'nice' or a 'distracting' avatar... This is a huge problem that I can't deny... I simply dislike 'people' with a technically bad avatar as I got a feeling that there not all focused to do things good... al this without knowing them of course!!! Imho, this is worse than to critisize people on first sight... that's why I don't use it... The aid in constructing a mental image of oneself is (to me!) so distracting, I'd rather not use the possibility... (But I do wonder what mental image you got of me, without the avatar...) Although avatars are a good idea to gather a lot of marriage proposals... lol! rgds nisus Ow animated... not sure I like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I simply dislike 'people' with a technically bad avatar as I got a feeling that there not all focused to do things good... al this without knowing them of course!!!Well I will admit to a similar dislike of 'handles' or online names, Evert. That is why I have never used anything but my own name on-line, even in the UseNet Photoshop forum, which is plagued by childish behaviour and endless bickering (so I don;t go there much anymore). I find people feel free to behave in ways they would never even consider if they didn't have a mask on. And on your first point--can you post a list of the technically bad avatars vs. the good ones? I need to know where I stand with you. I guess I will not use my hopping tubeguy avater, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisus Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 can you post a list of the technically bad avatars vs. the good ones?

nisus Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I find people feel free to behave in ways they would never even consider if they didn't have a mask on. That reminds me of my days on mIrc... To many people getting into someone elses skin... one can only imagine what people were into these days... Internet IRL-meetings: scary as hell! That's why I'd like to meet Inet people asap! rgds nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
