gangsters for the avatars?

A gangster is a criminal who is a member of a gang. Some gangs are considered to be part of organized crime. Gangsters are also called mobsters, a term derived from mob and the suffix -ster.[1] Gangs provide a level of organization and resources that support much larger and more complex criminal transactions than an individual criminal could achieve. Gangsters have been active for many years in countries around the world.
Some gangsters, such as Al Capone have become infamous. Gangsters are the subject of many novels and films, particularly from the period between 1920 and 1990.

avatars here are provided, not chosen. They are set by rank. The theme is set by the forums. It has been this way for a long time, previously the ranks were assigned to different weapons.

If you want overclocking advice, you need to post in the correct forum:

If a mod removes your spammy .gif image I would suggest that an appropriate response is not to post another.

Forum rank is forum rank. You post more, your rank goes up. It's not rocket science OP. The theme is the theme, personally I like it. As for scientists or computer programmers, no, just no. This forum bites back, so the mobster/gangster theme works well, imo. Don't make me take you for a walk with the fishes OP!!!!!

Any female gangsters? I can't think of any from movies, but I'm sure there must be at least one.

I used to have a PC with a 'turbo' button, that made it go faster.

Just from yesterday, I watched Suicide Squad and one of the main characters was Harley Quin played by the gorgeous Margot Robbie. There are many female gangsters, you just need to know where to look.

Funnily enough I got banned twice in my first week before I calmed down

For anybody that didn't know:
One of the original owners of OCUK was Spie and he was a massive fan of The Godfather, he also had Italian family & history - that is why we have Gangster avatars.

He's got a good idea tbf. Black and white pictures of people like Albert Einstein & Alan Turing would be pretty cool, i don't mind how it is atm but scientists would be cool as well.

What was his real name? I used to work on one of the owner's race cars, years ago. Nice chap, he ran a Radical at the time.
