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...

- It's fixed at 50x50. It can't be any bigger even if you tried.

- You can turn them off in your CP.

Jstalilwyrd · 6th September 2001, 21:45

Ooh lookie... avatars... interesting.

Omit Name · 6th September 2001, 21:47

i like avatars.

<---- no its not an alien and it says omit on its forhead. *squint*

avatars = good

damn that is a tiny pic though. if it makes good can we get just a little bit bigger pictures? please....

ElChevelle · 6th September 2001, 21:47

My interest in this is seeing how creative one can be with a tiny canvas. On VP chat, you're allowed a 48 X 64 canvas and it gets seriously tricky, especially when text is involved.

s1138 · 6th September 2001, 21:48

s1138 checks to see if he has one......

nope guess not...yet

papadoc · 6th September 2001, 21:53

Cool deal for me cause it's new.
Surely hope folks don't take advantage of it,
and ruin the priviledge of being able to use it.
But if that happens and they stop it...
I will say..."Oh Well"...and continue working on my sig,
which I'll do anyway. There's allot more you can do
with a sig anyway.

bonj · 6th September 2001, 21:57

cool, i guess

Carmagio · 6th September 2001, 22:02

I hope it works

nope........ i mean yep

Bilbo Baggins · 6th September 2001, 22:31

Lets see if this works...

Matt · 6th September 2001, 22:34

Good stuff

People stop voting for no.

Omit Name · 6th September 2001, 22:34

oh my god the dancing super dog is back!

*omit throws welcome back super dog party.

fish · 6th September 2001, 22:46

See? I told you guys avatars wouldn't be that bad

NeoRenegade · 6th September 2001, 23:07

Hell yeah avatars rule

chiquita chad · 6th September 2001, 23:08

hopefully mine will work

[edit]poopy... it let me upload the midi but it wont play it[/edit]

Omit Name · 6th September 2001, 23:12

midi...

first signs of attempted abuse?

NeoRenegade · 6th September 2001, 23:20

I'll never abuse my priviledge of avatar use.

Lucid DM · 6th September 2001, 23:22

I bet my one's gonna get annoying after a while...
Well. It's only like that 'til Lucid Dream's published.

Omit Name · 6th September 2001, 23:35

old lady avatar up for whoever wants it...

s1138 · 7th September 2001, 00:08

avatar up

papadoc · 7th September 2001, 00:10

I added a little more to mine just for fun.

PabUK · 7th September 2001, 00:10

got mine up too

Bizznatch · 7th September 2001, 00:11

Mine's up too.

<--- 2002 NHL Stanley Cup Champions!

Budgie · 7th September 2001, 00:13

Avatars, hmmmmm, they don't have a need actually, since custom signatures including images are allowed ... I think with avatars being enabled permanently, besides the signature, would cause in too much graphics in the forums ... Just my $0,02.

Anyways, I still evaluate my avatar to see if I really like it or not

.

Peace.

griffinn · 7th September 2001, 01:03

Yay! More eye candy!

It needs to be heavily policed, though. I hope it's automated (ie. oversized images are trimmed / rejected altogether at the moment they are submitted).

steady puffin' · 7th September 2001, 01:31

Ooooh!!!! Niceness!!!!

cool idea. i'm liking this! Definitely a 'YES'!!!

weedsatan · 7th September 2001, 01:32

Finally here too...

steady puffin' · 7th September 2001, 01:34

Hey Budgie, thats a straight up woofer!! my $0.02

Curi0us_George · 7th September 2001, 01:48

Well, as long as I can turn it off if/when it gets annoying, I say keep 'em.

Huehuetenango · 7th September 2001, 02:05

until this post, i didn't even know what the smeg an avatar was (in the forum sense, i do in the mythological sense)
i like the idea, though i'm too frickin' busy at the moment to bother making one
