    ^ If there's anything I've learned from being in the Sonic fandom for the past few years, it's that one should never underestimate the lengths people will go to vent for one reason or another.

    I know most people by their writing style, I don't need to look at their avatar so this doesn't effect me. Seems each thread I go into somebodies yelling I AM SPARTACUS! which is going to get really annoying really fast.

    Apparently you don't even see the name changes with Forum Gingerbread turned off (which mine almost always is.) I didn't even realize that something was going on until I saw people complaining about it.

    Oh, psshaw. I'm a Sonic fan, dearie; I get enough shunning already.

    So the odd pages have stormtrooper avatars and the even pages have bear avatars.

    I am amused.
  • DYREDYRE
    I wish they'd stop changing it...

    It's getting annoying having to block the image every time a new one shows up, since I have to do it via CSS since if I use Adblock, then they won't show up when I save the page.

    :(

    I can't understand why people are taking this so badly.  I thought it was funny.  How is this different from Reispin or Katriumph, anyway?

    It's not like you didn't have to look at the usernames on that site anyway, what with people changing their avatars regularly, and sharing avatars with one another, and stealing avatars off other people and swapping avatars with one another for the lulz.

    > How is this different from Reispin or Katriumph, anyway?

    This is involuntary.

    > still have to look at usernames

    No; most people keep their avatars long enough that it's actually pretty useful.  Not to mention that usernames have also been messed with in this case.

    DYRE, can't you just turn the gingerbread off?
  • Trash_VortexTrash_Vortex
    They're getting bigger each time. It's weird to see big avatars on that place after three years of getting used to small ones.
  • DYREDYRE
    @Bob:  Well, yeah.  There's also other things I could do, I'm sure.  But it's because I am still (for reasons I'm unsure of) saving each page of KHSWO, and I want the saved version of each page to be as representative of how the thread was at that time as possible.  And disabling gingerbread would mean that the saved versions of the pages don't have all the Spartacus/etc. stuff, which would be wrong, somehow.

    How does your own choice of avatar help you tell other people apart?
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss

    Because an avatar is equivalent to a face on an Internet forum. It gives some insight into what kind of person you are, your preferences, or how you are feeling at a given moment. Even changed avatars often follow some sort of pattern because it is based on a user's personality.

    "and sharing avatars with one another, and stealing avatars off other people and swapping avatars with one another for the lulz."

    I'll concede that. When people have such similar avatars, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell people apart.

    Is it midnight in Bermuda yet? This whole thing is really starting to wear out its welcome now...

    Huh.  Avatars are back to normal, but names aren't.  Weird.

    I will laugh if our handles are broken after this and we can't change them back.
  • NoimportaNoimporta
    And they're back to normal, too.
