Should ILX have avatars?

Flagging my SB

avatars, and automatic permaban for anyone exercising their use

http://www.chessgames.com/av/face_1538.gif make it so

http://avatars.jurko.net/uploads/avatar_22602.gifAvatars could provide us with whole new levels of meta-snark.

http://www.absolutepunk.net/images/avatars/thegetupkids01.gifcan we keep a whole bunch in our profiles and then the system assigns a diff one randomly to each post

dammit dammit dammit

http://img1.jurko.net/avatar_5132.gifmy boss would love coming into my office and catching me rapidly clicking away from a page full of gif-vomit even more than he loves coming into the office and catching me clicking away from plain old boring ilx.

http://27.media.tumblr.com/avatar_8884d123880f_64.pngall bosses will love nu-avatar ilx

http://avatars.jurko.net/uploads/avatar_22151.gifAs is, ilx is kinda like plain yogurt. Avatars would make it like Dannon Activia.

http://www.toiletmuseum.com/ladies/milliejackson.jpg Write in vote for "yes - ilx needs a whole new stratum of poop jokes"

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Funny/Catwink.jpg I feel like with avatars I would finally be able to remember who I'm talking to, right now I get in arguments with random people and I don't even know who I'm arguing with but w/ avatars it would be like "oh yeah, dog fucking a puppet dude, I remember him"

http://o.onionstatic.com/images/amvo/americanvoicesface/1/wdyt_photo6_jpg_90x116_crop-smart_upscale_q85.jpg what's this I hear about avatars

http://stores.vinylkiosk.com/catalog/MODERN%20LOVERS_thumb.jpg just for one thread.

sb'd aerosmith for providing a 'no' option

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:aS6uXzxh4HIaYM:http://euonym.freehostia.com/enth3/joined/867_Juno_MacGuffJuno_FAN.jpg read closer

Avatars bollocks to the lot of u

hahaha and I fucked it up

THIS IS WHY NO ATAVARS

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Funny/Catwink.jpg if we get together a gang of 51 pro-avatarists and collectively sb every counter-revolutionary, I think we can implement an avatar system without the mods stopping us

http://cocoaforge.com/download/file.php?avatar=76.png there is no no option there's a no no give us an avatar option still I accept my sb in the spirit of icon brotherhood

Should ILX hate avatars?

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Funny/Bears/Stripper-Bear.jpg the time has come

http://dl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/312/312721otoxsmw75n.gifWilling to bet this is going to be the best and most fun thread we've had in a while btw.

Also, I'm SO MAD I'm at work right now and can't devote my all to this very important

and necessary discussion

http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/hs231.ash2/50416_284250651462_963091_q.jpg iirc we did actually have avatars on one of the sandboxes?

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Transport/Ducati-girl.jpg i really have nothing going on today so

http://www.avatarsdb.com/avatars/dog_with_sunglasses.jpg with an avatar-enabled ILX, people will finally realise that I'm a cool customer

http://icons.iconator.com/732/ICONATOR_12a56850f14861606543236fa59c4905.gif kanye is genious ihmo

http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/image.php?u=28011&dateline=1211224818Voted yes

http://dl5.glitter-graphics.net/pub/218/218445ci6w59lvml.gif I'm just glad we finally get to let our true personalities shine in a way that mere words and clever DNs could never quite convey. ps - be jealous.

http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq184/aleronihead/reginashutup.gif I feel like I know everyone so much better already

http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.outblush.com/get/women/images/2010/11/adult-choc-milk-small.jpgWell, can you imagine the incongruity of a perfectly reasoable post being made, with the avatar resembling the "no means yes.." username?

http://i2.tinypic.com/t70uw5.gif All for this tbh

http://avatarhell.com/a/avatarhell_jackassfan_Goth-2.gif another question, can you SB an avatar without SBing the owner of the avatar?

http://www.loopzorbital.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?avatar=55.jpg Given the noises coming from the White House and Downing Street it looks like war with North Korea is inevitable. So fucking scared and angry right now.

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Funny/Catwink.jpg yes you just use the sb button and press f6 at the same time

xp

apple+5+q if you're using a mac

http://avatarhell.com/a/avatarhell_jackassfan_Goth-2.gif What happens if someone else steals your avatar and makes you look like a fanny by association?

http://www.iconator.com//ikons/903/ICONATOR_45035aef5262097ee7a2de03b5b9805f.gifDescription: This was quite easy. I like how it came out :]

http://avatarhell.com/a/avatarhell_jackassfan_Goth-2.gif I hate that xp

http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3671/rubyagifsoupcom.gif Can't wait to keep refreshing this thread all day long. It may be the only work I get done.

http://www.jeboavatars.com/images/avatars/215555201067freeps2.gif Can't believe this is even under discussion to be honest http://serve.mysmiley.net/fighting/fighting0023.gif

http://web-images.chacha.com/avatar/avatar-oct-13-2010-80.jpg Avatar? Pandora? Na'vi? omg where do i sign up?

http://www.hindunet.org/avatars/Vishnu.jpeg <<< this guy knows what's up

http://bleachasylum.com/images/smilies/banana2.gifalso I think there should be a size limit on avatars

http://foxtrotters.tripod.com/turkey2.gif dayo otm

http://l.yimg.com/dg/users/1FnZN4zAeAAEB_8FHRBMxCA==.96.png another option would be to implement the yahoo system of avatars. that way everybody could have an avatar that accurately reflected the way they look in real life.

http://cdn-ugc.cafemom.com/gen/constrain/500/500/80/2010/11/05/15/17/8e/poin9uq7z4vzco.jpgyeah dayo probably has a point

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/fez_/goat2.gif totally

http://thewhiskeydregs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/human-centipede2-128x128.jpg I foresee new levels of avatar-dn congruence

http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20101119/430_cookie_430241.jpg?2 Also, it should be possible to not have avatars at all ever.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

landslide

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vt2utg.gif <3

no, don't try to stand in the way of the oncoming avatar train

i dont understand what this answer means, it sounds like it's pro-'tar

http://www.gifanatics.com/files/Jean-Luc-Picard-Sings-And-Dances.gif

So, the no votes win.

Actualy, the people who didn't vote win.

avatars win

http://uktv.co.uk/images/standarditem/m/575674_m.jpg Awesome result!

not that itll ever happen but in true ilx fashion, avatars must be hotlinked

http://i51.tinypic.com/am9ls.jpg I can't believe that I missed this poll!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2q8r05c.jpg It'll never happen.

http://www.qualityavatars.com/avatars/bands/aerosmith/aerosmith-avatar-1.jpg R.I.P. aerosmith who did not live to see his poll results. Who is markers' piano chicken girl gif anyway?

^ was too embarrassed to ask myself but yeah this

http://steynian.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/unicorn-vector-thumb4045993.jpg joanna newsom y'all

thought it was.

lookin' 18 not 28, gotta say

http://steynian.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/unicorn-vector-thumb4045993.jpg Thanks blueski

lol

http://images.coolchaser.com/themes/t/-i564.photobucket.com-albums-ss81-emxwasxlikee-dance.gifI got carded and asked if I was over 18 this morning and even though this was mostly likely due to a combination of a fantastic night's sleep, a great new concealer and an either insane or visually impaired cashier, I was pretty stoked.

(I just really wanted a reason to use that gif btw)

http://steynian.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/unicorn-vector-thumb4045993.jpg Buying beers in the morning eh? Now that's living.

http://i55.tinypic.com/i4hbfd.jpg So when is this happening again?

http://api.ning.com/files/pNJN20HF21bEG2IZFOwfleGBu0Klbg-M1U-MWyzfi7UqV2Zo3pUP2*8bDJNaB9*9i*WuolaiVVTtFLdeWbMA4MsLZEC6KuMc/arkmusicfactorylogowhite.jpg?width=64&height=64&crop=1%3A1

can't happen too soon

http://theblackkeysfanlounge.com/forum/avatars/jf%20omalycat.gif?1319762111we should really take a look into this with the current population of ilx. maybe people would be more easygoing about it these days.

please god no. Don't take away my one safe place on teh_web.

http://www.avatarsdb.com/avatars/duck_no_no.gifBut it works so well everywhere else and can add an extra dimension of content and meaning to discussions.

my skin crawls at the thought of avatars of any kind, except avatars of the buddha

http://ic.s.tsatic-cdn.net/people/TheOldie/avatar-150x150?revision= c'mon guys

Man I would still totally have bell tits Krampus as mine.

http://i55.tinypic.com/ygsjc.gif

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sdSqoM0swHU/0.jpgat the time I was joking but now I have a prayer circle going to get us avatars, they are important for ilx to grow...pre-avatar ilx was great and all but it's time to embrace the future
