The mafia post counter status thingy - who's idea was that?!

BigBoy · 10 Apr 2012 at 13:00

the mafia avatars have been here for a very long time and the old owner Spie (Mark Proudfoot) started it all off. Before the mafia we had different guns.

2001 I believe is when we last saw the Gun avatars. We had a DB wipe in Oct 2002, which is why a lot of the member's join date is Oct 2002.

was to do with a mafia based game that many of members and shop folks used to play years ago

Dj_Jestar · 10 Apr 2012 at 13:14

I thought it was just Spie's fascination with the Mob and the "honour code" associated with them

Yup 1999-2001 for the guns then 2002-present for the current pics

Oct 2002 saw the big nuke (there was a smaller one back in 2001) where the entire forum was destroyed and re started back jn the good old days!

If anyone has a copy of the gun avatars it would be nice to see them posted here.

How does one earn his first stripe *cough- Avatar*

Edit: Sounded like a bit of a jabroni there.
