Old avatars... going...going... gone!

strawman

I got a message from google saying I was abusing adsense and I had better clean up my act or face losing the $15/month revenue I'm getting from them.

This lead me to find that spammers have been using an old, disused forum of mine for link farming.

After deleting that website (another one bytes the dust) I poked through the server a bit and found some old junk lying about that perhaps a few of you would be interested in before I delete them:

Can't remember what mine was from that time period but as long as the durr face is there I feel represented.

Not mine. I didn't actually see any of mine there...that i remembered. I switch alot, because having the same avatar forever gets old fast.

Drifter, or another artist, I believe

Cock pocket? Gee wiz, make a suggestion...

I agree with Bachmann, it's Drifter's avatar.

I wonder who among us would be able to match the most avatars to posters, based on memory alone.

I tried it, but for some reason every time I come across an avatar that looks familiar but I can't place, my brain immediately goes "Hylian." This is despite me knowing exactly which one is Hylian's.

Same here. It's like that old pair of shoes that feel too good to throw out.

Gusto

I just haven't found anything I like as much as my avatar, not that I've been looking. Plus it helps when I'm scrolling really fast. I can always pick out my posts because my avatar is such a distinctive colour.


#39

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Out of all the ones I've used, I think the one in the link (Elseworlds Female Joker) and the Scar ones have been my favorite.

I like keeping my avatar the same, because people changing theirs fucks with me. It wouldn't be so bad if we couldn't change our names and crap. For example, I didn't know Mathias was Chaz until recently.

My avatar just gets accessories. A monocle and top-hat, a cap, etc.

Also, I will always associate the Tom Cruise head-whirl-dance with Charlie Don't Surf.


#41

Shegokigo

Shegokigo

Definitely Charlie's best.


#42



Chronos[Ha-G]

Wow - yeah, that's going back a bit. I still like my avatar, though, so I'm sticking with it.

Don't suppose there's somewhere else we could save all these ("And on your left is the Halforums Museum, where you can see the avatars of our forefathers...")? I mean, other than "My hard drive."

"...and on your right, Gasbandit is in a shouting match with someone."

EDIT: Also, I just noticed - apparently, I'm about to be stabbed. This is annoying.

So you are saying that my name and posts are so bland and generic that they could easily be anyone you want them to be? :(

Dear Halforums User:

I used to remember who said what, but when avatars started changing, it became too much of a bother to keep track. And since, I've found it doesn't really matter because I seem to piss off most people in the same manner anyway, so I just continue to operate under the assumption that
1) I've insulted you
2) We don't agree
3) You make bad decisions and your reasoning process is unsound.

Thank you and enjoy your signature Gas Bandit experience.

I'm always variations of my face, and I added the cowboy jelly in my signature -after it was shown to me by some user, i don't remember who- as a "secondary" avatar so you would recognize me!

It might be classless, but I'd say my description was kinder than the method of death itself.

Sticking to the ol' guns, eh? Nice!

Biannoshufu

No, sticking to the old guns would be calling you a "smoothie-brained idiot who vomits the same lines like a skipping record full of Lou Reed songs." But I was just pointing out how he died. Completely different.

It almost seems as though Shannow is not aware of how Caine met his end...

s almost like Shannow can differentiate between a charatcer and the actor who palys him. Wierd. And hey, at least I am not a lesbian trying to flaunt my sexuality for attention! Hey-o!
