Custom Avatars

[anarchywrksbest]

Custom Avatars Don't scream, this seems to be something of a half trundle subject that some people are against. I agree that sometimes they look crap, like those muppets at Apolyton. However at gamecatcher they work well (Especially mine),

If Thunderfall sets specific size and shape rules the people can't put crap into their space. Perhaps the mods could reject them if they are bad but then again i know they are under enough pressure already. Just a thought....what if the "Deitys" were allowed a custom avatar but had to clear it with a mod or Thunderfall.

 

[philippe]

well i think this topic is already discussed over a thousand times...
You can get a custom avatar,yeah its really easy.just get 99.999 posts and you get a pixel as avatar!!!Be happy we CAN get custom avatars!!!!
ps:TF will probably never allow it.Good for the poeple who have a reallly slow modem

 

[anarchywrksbest]

I have a really slow modem. At GC they can't be bigger than 9kb and most are much less. Doesn't take that long...

And i know about that 99999 posts thing. You get a 1 pixel dot as your avatar, but you can pick the colour

TF thinks that custom avatars take away from the civish feel of the site. I agree. Plus he has given us many cool avatars to use

 

[Padma]

Oh, no! Not the custom avatars thread again! If this keeps popping up, maybe TF will just ban all of us!

 

[anarchywrksbest]

I agree that the site looks great but maybe a few tasteful non-civ avatars could be added

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

You and me are both using non-civ avatars, anarchy

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Yeah, but they are from a Civ scenario. Kobayashi's i think

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Well, make a civ scenario with whatever you would like for your avatar and ask TF to put it in

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Good idea, a Guns N Roses scenario is just what the world needs!

I thought we've talked this subject to the death already.

Former conclusions : -
1) Ain't going to happen
2) Ain't going to happen
3) Ain't going to happen

So there.

TF thinks that customized avatars will simply take away the civish feel of the forums, like gonzo said. And if we set requirements before posters can qualify for them (minimun posts, settings, size etc), only adds to their admin and maybe mod workloads.

KD:

TF doesn't like custom avatars so we don't get 'em. Just enjoy the atmosphere and the avatars we have. Avatars are just a small part of the big picture here.

 

[CornMaster]

Thunderfall has allowed custom Avatars in the past.

And he uses custom ones more often then he has allowed it.

So it's not a lost cause.

Keep the fight alive!!!

I dream of a world where my avatar is mine ALONE.

Everything starts with a dream......

 

[Zwelgje]

Not again this discussion.....
I'm completely happy with my Civ1 armor avatar and even when I would be allowed a custom avatar the armor would remain my avatar. I've gotten attached to it.....

 

[Rodgers]

There's so many to choose from already I dont get what the problems is. I've not seen anyone else with my "devil" avatar yet - so it's as good as a custom one to me.

*cue bloke with same one posting below me saying "you stole my avatar you worthless b*satard"*

 

[duke o' york]

Yeah, you have to wonder which scenario would use a devil couchant as a unit, but it looks fine.
And I wish people would stop moaning about custom avatars.
You have a choice of

or 413 others or a blank space and you still want more?

 

[philippe]

[/floppamode]Hey! we should ban that anarchy!grr. Let me all give everyone who replied in this thread a 1 month banning!
[/floppamode OFF]

IMHO, There are WAY too many avatars to choose.

Custom avatars should be allowed to guys like Kefka, which have always dreamed
about them and have they're images as their trademark. Alas, the last time
TF took them all out because CERTAIN people started whining ( to them )

I also think that the first 1 000 members (ok, practically 25 active members)
should be allowed to have a custom avatar.

Baaad idea, which will lead to an elitist image, which in turn has been discussed adequately enough. You give one a customized avatar and the rest will demand why they aren't allowed one too.
