Avatar Week

ElChevelle · 6th September 2001, 21:12

OK gang, beginning now, we have a week to give avatars a trial.
Please adhere to the rules and be responsible for your choosings.
If not, we'll lose this priviledge and likely will not receive anymore perks. Size is limited to 50 X 50 pixels.
I've included this poll to evaluate them, so please be honest.
Thanks,
Chev

Ps. Thx Jon

I think as long as it doesn't get abused and people dont do any stupid crap, it's just one more stupidly fun thing. It lets you give yourself some kinda "personal" touch, (and hopefully reduces the headache over custom titles). Ey, its all good.

6th September 2001, 21:19

yay for custum avatars!

ElChevelle · 6th September 2001, 21:21

By the way, to choose your avatar, go to "My Control Panel", choose "Edit Options", avatar info is at the bottom.

Lucid DM · 6th September 2001, 21:27

I don't think we should have them. It's just like having two sigs. And you know there's always gonna be some people with huge ones. It's just gonna be another useless thing that the mods have to waste more time on patrolling.

If you really want an avatar, put it in yer sig.

Then again... I do see the attraction of having something in your title area...

Here's the thing, you can't have huge ones! It's limited to 50x50 or
20kb. This is the way sigs should be. Theoridicly I could have 50mb
.jpg sig that takes two monitors just to view. Up with avatars!

but if sigs were made that way then we wouldnt be able to put text or links into them, or if we could it would be more complicated than how it is now, and most people if thier sig is too big when asked to change it they usually do.

SNYder · 7th September 2001, 02:05

i tried out an avatar for a few minutes. then i realized.... well i didn't realize anything. i just think the avatars make the boards even more clutered.

choose one. sig or avatar. just my 3 cents.

ditto. No avatars.

Gonzotek · 7th September 2001, 03:14

Well... I have a little one line sig pointing to my (horrenedously out-of-date, more in a minute) FAQ. So I don't see what the problem with a 50x50 image would be in my case. And like they said, you can turn them off.

About the FAQ, I've been opening the network at the school I work for, and I don't want to look at a computer when I get home.

Mods: If I update the faq this weekend, can someone add me to the sticky?

jarsonic · 7th September 2001, 04:18

Cool...weird... I have an avatar now!

Hehe.

ElChevelle · 7th September 2001, 04:42

Option #2

My control panel > Edit options >
Show user's signatures in their posts? yes no
Show user's avatar in their posts? yes no

schweitn · 7th September 2001, 13:30

Normally I wouldn't bother with setting up an avatar myself...

But then I saw the Broncos logo and well... something came over me

-[WonderBlood]- · 7th September 2001, 15:26

Cool.

PS: will update my wa3 site soon

I love avatars

lunarboy1 · 7th September 2001, 20:27

They make the forums look unprofessional.

Brennan · 7th September 2001, 20:36

Yeah, but mine's so cool!

/me jumps on bandwagon

Naamloos · 8th September 2001, 08:50

How does mine look?

mark e · 8th September 2001, 09:18

Brennans avatar is cool, but what about me

<------

Naamloos · 8th September 2001, 09:46

It fits your sig

Now the only thing we need to edit is the Major Dude, Senior Member etc.
And get a user rating system on other users

lunarboy1 · 8th September 2001, 16:42

that'd be cool

Wonko42 · 8th September 2001, 17:21

Shouldn't the third poll option be "couldn't care less"?

lunarboy1 · 8th September 2001, 17:27

whatever

i think the poll is what we say but yours is the correct grammar

QHOBBES · 8th September 2001, 21:16

If you're avatar matches your sig I think it's cool. If your avatar
and your sig is the same thing, that's just stupid. F.Y.I. my avatar
does match my sig since my handle is qhobbes so i put of pic hobbes.
just blowing steam. stupid avatars suck!

Naamloos · 8th September 2001, 21:30

Mine is stoopid? I mean, I don't have a sig so it doesn't fit the sig

nvm i read it wrong

does anyone thinks i should get a cool sig? or make one perhaps?

lunarboy1 · 9th September 2001, 02:30

i just use my sig for update announcements on my skin

mc^^^^ · 9th September 2001, 06:09

i like my sig, and my avatar, there both different, its good to see what people can do with them, and it adds a "homely" feeling to the board.

My avatar is just a cool pic.

My sig is cool cause i think it looks cool and it has my skin downloads and my e-mail in it. Plus i use it for updates. It fits heaps of stuff into small space, thats why i like it.

what do you think?

P.S. --RIKKI--'s is the best sig. But his avatar is crap.

mc^^^^ · 9th September 2001, 06:12

how can i be a Llama with 226 posts and LyleWilson be a senior member with 222 posts?

mark e · 9th September 2001, 07:36

Good avatar pyuria.

But what's the point of Llama...????

Riksruin · 9th September 2001, 19:30

i know my avatar is crap it was threw 2gether really quickly, (i didnt wanna spend loads a time on it just to find out they got banned after a week, my sig serves the purpose that i want it to. it shows the MikroAMP skins of my skins for winamp2.x (allthough not all of them have a mikro or are updated fully,) with links to the skins.

i wanted to have links to all my skins in my sig i thought that would be the best way to do it.

No, they're both correct grammar, it's just a matter of what they mean. "Could care less" implies that you care at least some, as you could, in fact, care less. "Couldn't care less" implies that you don't care at all, as it would be impossible for you to care any less. I'll never understand how that one got so common, as you're actually saying the opposite of what you mean.

Riksruin · 10th September 2001, 11:22

its obvious that its meant as a doesnt matter to me
