    Default Why?

    Hey, I've been on other forums alot, and 1 think, that I think WE ALL have noticed is that there is no avatar privledge here. I might have not listlened to somthing or missed out, but how come we don't get avatarS?

    Sure we can allow avatars, but they get annoying fairly quickly. I just dont think its necessary on a modding forum. If you need to express your individuality or personality---go mod something--or make a cherry looking sig.

    Word to that, Crimson. I come to these forums for mods not animated gifs. Not to be mean or anything, but whats wrong with making a sig?

    Yep, I like the fact that we dont have avatars. I actually cant stand them. To me they are so un-uniform and ugly. But I do like the signatures. Thats cool.

    A great example of a sig is from forum member Tybrenis. I think he utilized his signature to the fullest.

    Or you can go simple like mine. Just a few words.

    Anyways, I love this site just the way it is with that kind of stuff so dont change it!

    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    I think the place looks more pro without Avatars. Avatars are useful for helping newbies get to know who folks are, but appart from that, they don't really serve much of a purpose.

    Only static images are allowed.If we find anything winky, blinky or otherwise animated (gifs, flash, etc) you will be drawn and quartered. That means kicked off the forums forever.
    Why is the whole animated part such a sin?? It sounds pretty serious lol

    Because blinking, flashing, attention-grabbing crap is annoying and unnecessary.
    You can say the same thing with a static image.

    I've never found avatars to be useful on a forum. If you spend enough time on a board, then you will get to know who is who anyway.
