i am doing this to protest the limited choices available for them. i can understand not allowing custom pics, but they should add a few every month, it wouldn't really be that much work

A new avatar selection every so often would be welcome. I, for one, support this motion.

Didn't someone quit the forums over this? I think he was using the black, male avatar.

None really? It's just kind of weird, and I guess I'm a little old fashion in that I taylor my posts according to who I think I'm talking to. Little embarassing when you post "Dude check this out!" and you come back to the tread a couple of days later and "Dude looks like a lady"

I know this one guy (if I can even call him a guy) who chooses female avatars everywhere, plays female characters in video games, and creates female sounding e-mail addresses. Needless to say, he makes most girls look masculine by the way he talks, acts, and thinks. I think secretly he wishes he could be re-born a woman. :disgust:

You could be the biker dude and we'd still know you're female.
Would you if I didn't sign my name at the end of every one of my posts and have the word "mistress" in my sig? ;)
