Poll: Who wants new AVATARS? a.k.a ICONS

[Juniper]

The avatars are getting a bit boring.... Dont you think?

 

[gopunk]

yes

 

[rival]

yea, we need some babe avatars or something

 

[hzl eyed grl]

We actually have quite a selection now. There's a whole lot more to choose from than when I first joined. (Even though I've basically kept the same one.) I know Mechbgon(SP?) has designed some cool ones.

 

[weezergirl]

i want a girl robot one.
please mods???

 

[Kelvrick]

I've grown quite attached to my Baghead avatar. I also think many people have come to recognize me as a Baghead. Don't want to disappoint all my fans now.

A couple new ones would never hurt. Maybe some of the other bagheads would change and then I'll be the only baghead.

 

[Aves]

Definitely. Although I'd probably keep mine.

 

[S0me1X]

... I want anime

 

[gopunk]

i was just thinking... isn't this an interesting thing, how people are constantly striving to distinguish themselves from others, even on a message board, through avatars?

anyways yea... i want an asian teenage male! good looking, of course

 

[TripleJ]

Drum

 

[Aenygma]

I like mine, it's me. Just needs to be drawn better, and a lil longer.

 

[Freejack2]

They have a cow icon, that's all I need.
Moooooooooo

 

[Elledan]

I can already picture it:

It's not going to happen

Besides, I use the '56K'-mode, so no avatars for me

 

[polypterus]

I think we should be able to create our own... yeah I know a couple people would abuse it, but they'd get banned pretty quickly, and the rest of us would have something really cool.

Otherwise I think there's needs to be a llama, or perhaps a goat... (for as much as I like cows I'm tired of this one).

[Juniper]

We could have our own pics in the place of recurring images

fat chance

off-topic.net has custom avatars... but that place is really rowdy

 

[Azraele]

This has been asked countless times in the past and countless times Zuni has said no, lol. It's a never-ending struggle.

 

[Lars]

Thats a great idea!

DSLReports allows you to use custom avatars... sometimes it's a little difficult to see some avatars... but no problems with nudity or vulgarity in the avatars there... ALL Avatars must be approved by a moderator before they're allowed.

Is Zuni one of the mods? Is he your personal mod?

I think thats what the mods are afraid of. With all these locked threads, it gives and idea of how much work they would have if they had to approve each new custom one. Haha...


But I still think that we should have new ones. Granted Ive been officially here only one month and 2 days, but Ive been reading the forums for like 1 and a half year.

 

[pulse8]

I feel that with the Avatars that are available, I cannot truly express to my fellow ATers who I really am.

Zuni is the guy who wrote the fusetalk program we are all using now to post on

hmm, maybe we should write to Zuni and tell him that his program is not customizable enough.

 

[Azraele]

Lol, he would not agree with you. You can make the forums just about any color of the rainbow you choose and pick any one from a list of over 70 avatars. That's plenty.

Though one or two more avatars would never hurt.
