So that some useless posters shall not have them.

Right on!

I view at as a treat for the people who truly enjoy the site and add something to it. There are thousands upon thousands of people who register, and never post again. Or the annoying slow people who never make their mark.

It took me like 5 months..with a little bit of spamming when I got to 290 posts

 

[puglover]

It took me about 2 months to reach the big 300.

Hey! Is that a crack at people like me?
Am I an annoying slow person who never makes his mark? I'll agree with the last bit, but annoying? We can't be that bad.

I'm making a stand for slow posters everywhere if that's what it takes!! Who's with me?!

For the record, I like to mostly lurk and occasionally post.

Custom avatars are highly overrated as they are. Just about anyone should be able to find something they like in the options provided.

I dont, I have enough trouble finding somthing that fits me in the wide realm of the real world in a picture to be put on the site- the sites given avatars just dont cut it, for me, and many others

as a side note, i dont think it took me more then a month to get my avatar...

(you forgot the edit post function, xen. --TF)

You should be thankfull that it's only 300 as at aplyton, or how ever it's spelled, it's 500 posts.

And OT posts do not add to your post count there.

 

[MarineCorps]

Oh yeah forgot about that. Not to mention that you can only start two threads a day in OT over there.

That is strict I am glad I am here in CFC .

 

[SanPellegrino]

took me 14 months to reach 300 but I didn't figured out the upload function anyway

 

[Thunderfall]

I kinda miss the good old days when everyone was using transparent civish avatars. The forum looked alot neater that way.

useless, just try making a few posts a day consistently. You will get there soon enough...

 

[Strider]

I don't remember how long it took me to get 300 posts, of couse I was posting here BEFORE you could have a custom avatar, and already had over 300 posts when that was implemented.

You might want to change that by adding "contributing posts" or something in there.

You've only been here two weeks. I got mine in two months (just in time for Xmas avatars)

Glad to see the tree back in action.

For a long time, no-one (except Thunderfall) had a custom avatar.

What pic did he use back then?

 

[Chris1111]

I've been here 2 1/2years and I still dont have one! So if anyone is to complain it should be me!

It makes me ill seeing people here for a month or two and allready with several thousand posts. How can one find so much pointless drivel to talk about?

 

[Eastern Knight]

It took a month or so for me, it was hard to wait.

@ Poster above: I totally agree, it's something called "jealousy".
