*****Official***** Custom Avatars Enabled

[Hayabusa Rider]

11/10/09 Custom Avatars Have been Enabled

What is permitted-

PG avatars. That's it. NSFW is right out. No animated GIFs.

What is not permitted-

Anything that we feel questionable. Avatars are art in a sense and as such there will be different interpretations of what is appropriate. Since moderators are charged with maintaining propriety the decision ultimately rests with us. We know some will push the envelope. If that happens you get no avatar, but your friends who acted responsibly will. We don't mean the default set. Nothing. You'll be consigned to the avatar dustbin.

If you have something and you don't know if it's allowed, then PM a mod and ask.

So it's up to you. If things work out you can express your individuality, if not then you lose.

That's the rules.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Awesome. Sounds like some good rules. Have to upload when I get home.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

We're in the process of enabling the forum software, so it may take a short while.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

What are the maximum allowable dimensions?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

We're at 80x80 for now. vB will resize them.

[Perknose]

Not Happening Yet, Sorry.

 

[Ken g6]

Will all gifs be blocked? Can I upload an animated gif, like

and have it automatically de-animated, or will I have to do that manually?

Edit: I guess that's a "yes" and a "no". :\

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Sorry gang, we have a capacity issue.

No good deed goes unpunished

We're definitely on it, but we don't know how long this will take.

 

[EvilYoda]

Oooooh, how exciting.

When you say in the near future, is that what most people would call the near future?
Or is that like "we're going to switch to vBulletin in the near future"?

We speak our own colorful dialect here, now to be called vBonics.

Bam directed the charge here, and Haya, that silver tongued devil, crafted some eminently sensible rules, and just as soon as our underlying database structure is robust enough, we will be doing this.

So, YES, this will be happening and soon . . . and by "soon" I mean "in the near future," and by "in the near future I mean" I mean soon, by which I mean . . . ()

 

[guyver01]

WOO!! i can FINALLY be myself!

 

[Ken g6]

Avarats to be enabled shortly

With apologies to Tim, whose avarat - uh - avatar this is.

 

[ChaoZ]

This is like showing a movie trailer that's 2 years away from release.
