I agree.

 

[WildFire]

He's asking for our opinions and says he's thinking of making a change. So might as well help if you can.

I like the red faced one,

 

[Pillager]

I too would recommend no change, but if so, I quite like the last one.

Your current avatar is great Zulu9812, don’t change it. But if you must change this would be my pick:

 

[Chieftess]

umm, not that one... it's too.. asking for a ban.

Anyway, yours is the trademark "CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP! WRONG FORUM!". It wouldn't have any meaning if you changed it.

The one I picked? It’s just the demon from Evil Dead II.

Btw: Yeah Zulu, the wrong-forum animation from the C&C-forum is cool.

I like the easter island head, if any.

First off, I'd have to say, don't change it! I love the current icon. Your icon and some of sween's are the motivation for me to keep posting and reach 300 so I can scrap the elephant But, if you do change it, I'd suggest either:

or

And while I can't speak for Chieftess, I expect the icon referred to was this one:

because "asking for a ban" was pretty much my exact thought on that one too

 

[zulu9812]

Why? It doesn't show any nipple - don't tell me showing female skin is banned too. Besides, nudity shouldn't be the silly taboo that it is.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

I like the Evil Dead one and the one posted right above it in your first post.

Or the breasts, can never see enough of those.

I agree that nudity shouldn't be the silly taboo that it is, and I myself kinda like that icon but it's the sort of thing which just screams out to me that it will cause trouble. Perhaps I should be more specific. When I say I thought it was "asking for a ban" it was not that I found it objectionable but that I could very easily see people complaining to mods about it. I have learned over the years that "community standards" -- regardless of what the community is and CFC qualifies as one -- are overall far less tolerant than I, myself am, and so I always err on the side of caution in such situations. Forgive my generalization, but the people who are bothered by things like cartoon female near-nudity are also much more vocal about complaining to mods than people like myself. And mods have to respond to complaints. So my comment is just to point out that such an icon will cause people to whine and thus cause you some grief. If that doesn't bother ya, then go right ahead and fight the power

 

[Zarn]

Keep your current one. It says you. There is nothing else to it.

 

[Perfection]

Use this one!

 

[china444]

Your image wont show up, Perfection.

 

[sween32]
