Why is the only female avatar for the lowest post count?

 

[SexyGreyFox]

Used to be pictures of guns and rifles. I don't remember if they were changed before or around 9/11, sent the wrong message for a family friendly forum.

The owner Spie had Italian roots, or was a fan of the mafia films, or both.

I've been here since the beginning and it's always been Mobsters, Mark was a fan and had Italian roots.

Maybe guns pre nuke?

Possible.
The forum looked so different when it first started.

Admins may or may not take bribes for custom avatars

Do you take member pics?
Or pics of member's members?

No they don't.


Trust me, I've tried.

Do you have any which don't break this rule? If you're not sure, send them to me to verify.

As I'm a member.
This is my pic of a member.

Spoiler

Thus it's a member's member pic.
If you send me a member pic.. It'd be a member's member's member pic!

I think!

 

[Chojin]

Then I noticed others have similar black and white pictures of what appears to be old movie characters. Is that right ?

Afraid you're wrong about that. Any similarities to movie characters living or dead, is purely coincidental. No animals were harmed in the making of them either.

Changed on 17th October 2002 after the big nuke.

I've been here since the beginning and it's always been Mobsters, Mark was a fan and had Italian roots.

Nope, guns before big nuke day. I liked them, the mafia avatars are slowly growing on me. Give me another ten years and I'll be less bitter about the change

Also means you don't have data protection/copyright issues in having random people's images.

Why, don't you want to see my member?

Your milkshake doesn't bring all the boys to the yard

I was expecting something else but I still clicked on the spoiler. Three Hail Marys and some quiet contemplation should sort it.

When I was a new member cry I thought there were only around 5 members of this site, due to the avatars.

Reminds me of dishwasher wishy washer of the early day

 

[SexyGreyFox]

I'm trying to remember what the first OCUK site looked like when Spie started it, I can't even remember my username back then.
At the beginning he just worked in the back and very rarely came to the front desk, when the former owner Pete said he was working on a website I said "That won't catch on" but still joined

It's because you are not a shop, in fact.
