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

http://www.likelove.com.au/images/layout/avatar_default.png i think when people change their avatar they should get a warning first. how do i change mine from this shitty default? i don't know how u r doing this tbh

http://oi38.tinypic.com/2052mf8.jpg I dunno...this could create a totally wrong image when I'm reading ILX at work....

http://pinktentacle.com/images/10/021.gif

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Various/Baby-holding-finger.jpg guys what's with these blank, content-free posts? let's raise the level of discourse around here.

man, those flying squid sure are something!

if they are tastefully set in an all personally made by z_s then maybe

http://www.roadtoruin.net/images/products/acc_patch065_Sm.jpgIt's as if.. if.. if.. you're just showing off yr flashy avatars!

http://www.gifbin.com/981796 Oh man, that Altered States gif gives me the flaming abdabs.

no - we should not not have avatars, give us them: fixed size, animated, and most importantly the ability to disable them for work browsing.

http://www.hillbillygp.com/forums/upload/AspNetForumAvatar8.jpg I only support avatars if there is an option to turn post text into strings of avatars (one for each letter).

avatars 4 real u fucking sell outs

i thot u were kewl

Like this one, for "NYC", Dan?

omg

http://teamfourstar.com/forums/image.php?u=51&dateline=1290044962 I don't even know what to say to that

Before I get massively sbanned for that, I want to point out that that's in reference to the 9/11 Wingdings font controversy and I actually like Jewish people.

http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/268511515/green_1192_garfield1_reasonably_small.jpg Yes.

oh man, I completely forgot about that for a second

http://www.pamperedpuppy.com/images/shopping/bnylondon_pea_coat.jpg What is that thing where posters have 'loln00b' or 'old fart' or whatever under their display name according to how many posts they've made? Cos I want that, but linked to SB status.

http://base58.com/ilx/maracavatar.gif I actually like Jewish people

what i suppose you can't tell the difference between the nice ones and the evil ones idk what is with you people

I love that bastard so much. You need an avatar size jpeg of his little face.

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1159/hunterdick.gif Totally love rankings for number of posts... especially after a certain point when your ranking movies from like "Postin' Maniac" to "I should really disconnect my computer" and the like.

movies = moves

But honestly I really like that ILX doesn't have avatars.

i voted no - we should not not have avatars, give us them

http://i55.tinypic.com/2nq7jbq.gif great thread

the only other board i spend any time on is currently arguing over which shitty-looking competitor to shitty-looking vbulletin to switch to... ilx, you so pretty.

http://i53.tinypic.com/2luorrd.gif Can't believe I missed this! LOL, Aerosmith used a Get Up Kids avatar... I went to see them when I was 17! It was a good time (:

<img width=100px src=http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc7ihvnMnP1qdmmiqo1_500.gif />aw bless really hoping we can express ourselves soon ;)

OH GOD DAMMIT

i propose that avatars be activated for occasional short-term periods, or maybe limited to one board or something. I like the idea of them, but the lols would wear thin pretty quickly & would ultimately obscure the subtle craft of the display name.

omg at AD Clay and walk the dinosaur

http://i52.tinypic.com/2dje9ut.gif as long as you can turn them off and they don't change the layout, i'm down

http://i55.tinypic.com/ygsjc.gifHow quickly the tables turn.

*suicides*

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vt2utg.gif the most important poll ever

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vt2utg.gif also, it should be impossible to turn avatars off, even if you disable images in your browser

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

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

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.

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
