Avatars

no reason why we shouldnt be able to have custom avatars. Ive been on the myg0t forums where the moderators encourage racism and swearing (cos you get banned if your not posting racist stuff 24/7) and even there nobody had an offensive or pornographic avatar,

Has David Lindon ever given custom avatars a chance at all. So his excuses for not allowing them are probably unjustified because he doesnt seem to have any good reason for it or giving it a chance at all. Actuially I say he has his reasons/excuses but he just says no without telling us why.

im reccomending you shut the hell up before i am forced to ban you.

there have been hundreds of threads on this subject. if you and your tiny little brain can manage to find the search box, type in custom avatars and the answer will be right before your eyes.

now, i know you are incapable of doing that (if you were, you would have found a hellalot of posts on exactly the same topic, with the answer and explination right there), so ill just say it, yes, it has been tried, and yes it did go horribly wrong, therefore david does noot allow it. it is his forum, if you dont like that, you know where the door is.. alternativley if you carry on posting crap like this, i will help you to that door.

Ive been lurking here for about 2 months before joining up so yes I do see whats going on.

I saw loads of can I have custom avatars threads and they were all locked saying David's allways said no. But David himself has never really made it clear why he says no which is the point I'm trying to make, perhaps it might help if he layed out his reasons formally.

so you joined in july, and you recon youve been lurking for 2 months, that makes it may this year. now, this forum has been in existance (on this board) since 2003, something tells me that you dont know everything that has ever gone on here.

and everytime someone says you what just said, others come in spewing "because it's his forum" or something. And on a level yes, he can do whatever he wants, but if he wants us to shut up, he has to make a sticky saying why. And until he does so, these moderators will always have to deal with these avatar threads.

Why aren't custom avatars allowed?
Because it gets abused and we get used as a free image host.

its in the bloody Frequently asked questions thread! learn to read before you start having a go.. your just making yourselves look like idiots


change of heart.. reopened, but any more posts like rot13's, end of thread..
 
Like some other members have said,The Almighty subject of Custom avatars is always being brought up,Why cant people just get used to the point that this is never gonna happen!

But,if admin could upload a few more,it would be great :D (1+ Hascet)
 
Free image host?.. heh whatever.
exactly. i dont go onto forums to resize a pic to 80 x 80, set it as my avatar and then show it to people. that would be pointless as it takes a lot of time, the image would be too small, and it would generally suck. if i wanted to upload images id go on the many free image hosts including www.tinypic.com
i also wouldnt abuse the avatars because id stick to what we would be allowed to upload.

x2 - I haven't saw any other sites that had problems with custom avatars and I haven't saw many people hotlink their avatar on another site either.
 
Yeah but either way its davids forums so only he can decide and he has said that so thats his final decision on the matter . And i mean although it would be nice its not like the end of the world that we dont have them is it
 
Thats also true, but without the members theres no point in the forum in some aspect :D
