Still no other judges in this thread

I AM the law (I may have to add that to my sig - maybe not).

What bugs me more than the avatar thing is the fact that someone other than me uses "NuclearNed" on other message boards. It appears that the other guy is some sort of WoW addict; I've never even played WoW...

Don't accept substitutes... There is only one NuclearNed (me) and (as far as I know) I claimed the name first.

good to know. I know that the real zinfamous (me) is registered on several other message boards and online accounts as well. I googled the handle some time ago (based on a thread about AT names, I believe), and discovered that some charlatan had registered zinfamous on the official Final Fantasy pages :|

Not that I haven't played (and enjoyed--for the most part) those games, but I sure as shit wouldn't besmirch my good name by registering on their boards.

Nobody picks the judge because the judge is the king douche of the avatars.

Sorry.

No, but then again I think I'm the only person that has teengirl, because she's so ugly.

I'd hit it.

That's nasty.
So's Carmen Electra. :p

:Q

Why cant I see your avatar, Smo?

He doesn't have selected, if you click on the 'author Icon', it shows that, an if you click on someone else, you will see that too.

This is what shows up as his avatar:

It appears that the avatar was removed... not that he didn't "have one selected". At least, that's my interpretation.

Well, I didn't care about others using my avatar... and then I looked through this thread. My avatar shows up roughly 40 times, and every single time it's Heller. I don't want my avatar corrupted by some radioactive spammer!

Nah, I'm just kidding, Heller and I are like this... I mean, OK, this is the internet, so you can't see the gesture that accompanies that phrase, and thus it is meaningless, but feel free to assume it's obscene.

Doesn't bother me. I think pingspike and zeroIQ both have bags, IIRC.

I thought the bag was appropriate for my alpha-numeric name choice. Obfuscation FTW.
