anything else while you're being demanding?

No. I think the moon on a stick just about covers it!

There is nothing amusing about this thread - To me and those who dont share your view.

I put one question to you - Did you see the double standards here or not?

What "double standards"?

Since the beginning of time he could set a custom title and custom avatar. Not just to himself either. He chose to use it in an amusing way here and now its OMGDOUBLESTANDARDSTHEWORLDISGOINGTOEND?

Could you climb out of Otacon's batty for a moment and give me your OWN opinion please.

My OWN ******* opinion is that this thread was a joke about user avatars.

You and some others have seen it as Otacon 'bragging' about his user status.

That's your choice, but my opinion is that you're a cry baby. Happy?

I couldn't give a **** who started the thread, Otacon, Freefaller, Spie, Werewolf whatever, it's the same thing. A JOKE.

I don't agree he should get a new avatar but I can see the funny side to this.

However, this might be due to the fact that if I could do it I would!

Nothing wrong with having a laugh when not only is it just a forum but it really doesn't hurt anyone

He added glasses to the don avatar, when this thread dies they will go I am sure, it was a joke and nobody seems to get it.

Its an avatar, it means NOTHING!

Just in case people are still uncertain about it, this is not a permenant fixture. If was supposed to lighten the mood.

Cant believe I'm gonna have to close this.

I'd ask Mulder and Scully.

I believe I have already said I would pay £10/year for the privilages of the use of this forum - if that's the price is to have a signature with more 4 lines of text, and few more avatars.

so you can have a load of gumf under your name and under every message you write, just make reading thread a pain in the arse TBH, the sigs are OK as are the avatars, not really worth moaning about.

Yup, I took it for what it was, comic relief from the moaning (Avatar) thread.

I think most of them are just amused at how seriously you (and others) are taking this. Hell, I'm the mod, why should I need defending?

I posted this in reponse to how serious the other avatar thread became. I wanted to do something daft to remind people that, at the end of the day, it's a forum ffs. You're defined by your posts, the rest is vapourware.

Dont think I've got there though :/

Translation

I made a thread, a pretty bad one. Not the type El/Meg/Stig will even make (we are labelled spammers right?)
It didnt go down well, i try to silent people by abusing my powers but people saw that trick, so i went away and turned up 2-3pages later to give a defence of what ive done hoping they will buy it!

My reaction
There is no justification, this is double standards period.

Where do people find these smileys for every situation?

Please let me in on the hidden smiley circle!

It was removed by the admins/mods, along with the option to have no signatures displaying and to have no avatar when there was the last big hoo-hah about avatars. I can't recall how that all started, probably just like this thread, but it was another one of the regular OcUK member purges

That's the only way out isnt?

Brizzles · 3 Aug 2006 at 13:44

Why stop with Avatars ?

There is a only a piffling 20 something fonts to choose from out of 1000's.

And a choice of 7 sizes out of hhmmm lots.

And as for restricting the colours to those within the spectrum , then please get real mod's.

I bet the Don's have their own colours like Bluelow and Greenple that they keep to themselves and occasionly taunt us with in breif posts at 3.38am.

What they do all day is beyond me , anyone would think they had a shop to run !

Try again. Make a new thread and see if it works!

What double standards? He was messing around

Tru said:

Thank you for the best smiley ever. This thread needs five stars just for this

Jokes aside though, why was the option to disable all avatars removed?
