Colchar's Avatar - Keep or Kill?

Post by colchar » September 3rd, 2010, 1:04 pm

I was on another forum and recently and thought I saw a bug on my screen so I went to swat it away before realizing that it was someone's avatar. After that, I thought it was hilarious and figured it might trick a couple of people here so I copied it and am now using it. But today Tilly decided to add me as a foe (maybe that means she can't see my posts or something?) because she hates bugs, and subsequently my avatar, that much.

Because of that I decided to start a poll (I'm channeling my inner EarlJam) to let the rest of you decide whether I should keep it or not. It is all up to the rest of you - if you vote that I keep it for a while I will but, if you vote that I get rid of it, I'll change it. So - keep it or kill it?

Vote away!

I guess the answer really depends on how much you love Tilly.

True. And I do. Plus, I don't want to gross her out.

I voted "keep" before reading the thread. I certainly wouldn't want Tilly to be uncomfortable.

Yeah I like Tilly too much. Consider it gone (when I get back to the computer on which my avatars are stored).

I have un-foed you. Thank you for changing your avatar. I'd give you a big kiss but I think Windsors Daughter and K68 might object. So, here is a virtual kiss instead :-* :ymhug:

Wow, such a Tilly-lovefest goin' on in here! lol
Tilly can be a bit of a bugaphobe most of the time and I understand why the bug bugged her so.
I thought it was cool and wanted to either copy ya or do it even better, for the record, Colchar. But then I reconsidered for obvious reasons! lol

Keep 'da virtual love flowing!!

Hee hee. I realize the situation has been resolved but given how much I despise bugs it relieves me that I keep everyone's avatars off.

I'm not bothered by it, but I can certainly understand how it could freak Tilly and others out.

Now if colchar had a snake as an avatar, I would be breaking my laptop screen.

How do you do that?
Under the User Control Panel, go to Board Preferences, Edit Display Options, and turn off "Display Avatars".

Every now and again, I turn avatars back on, but it takes about a minute before I am reminded that I find them super distracting.
