XERXES Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 you know how your title is locked until you reach 1000 posts? Well I think that your avatar should be locked too...and your avatar should relate to your current title. Soooo if your title is bantha fodder then you get an avatar of bantha fodder so on and so forth until you hit 1k and can do whatever you want.
Alia Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I don't think I even need to point out the downsides to such a scheme.
Reaper Girl Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 *smacks XERXES* Dolt. What about the rest of us? Sure, its easy for you...Mr.3304 posts... ...Like a seagull suggesting sharing to the rest of his flock. Phf. *storms out*
wassup Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Some people don't feel the need to/don't have to time to spam, thus they got low post counts, but still deserve to pick a custom avy IMHO.
Samuel Dravis Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 NO. How would anyone recognize me without my avatar? Besides, just looking at about 10 generic avatars would be very boring after 2 minutes...

RockerD Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Its a long enough wait for a custom title....plus this would increase spam even more than now
Jedi Luke Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 As Alia said, the downsides don't even need to be pointed out.
Reaper Girl Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by ZBomber mwhahahaha! Great idea! Mr. over 7000 posts! We need to overthrow the gove--er, the big names! I think spam would plummet if we did away with forced entitlement all together.
DarkLord60 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 3304 and up are restricted to one post a week even moderators muhahahahahahahaahahahahhaa!
Jedi Luke Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Oh what?! We both posted at the same time DarkLord 60. After I was taken back to the forum after posting the latest post was under your name. Cool .
Sam Fisher Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I really don't think that would be a smart move, the spam would be incredible... but, you can start another profile, and do exactly what you said:p Even though that's against the rules;)

Except to be fair, of course, you will need to have your post count reset.
snowman21 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I'm sorry, I just don't like that idea. I love customization by being able to have my avatar as homestar everyday. Ranks would be great if it were based on post quality. And a moderator can promote you. I don't even think posts counts should even matter so much as that we have to lose our customization rights because we don't post a lot or just joined. How else can I get my personality across? If I may suggest, maybe custom title can begin at 500 posts, and name glow after 1000. Please don't hurt me.
Sam Fisher Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 If I may suggest, maybe custom title can begin at 500 posts, and name glow after 1000. Please don't hurt me. Naw, Glow at 500, custom title at 750. We hurts him:)
ET Warrior Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I don like it just because I hardly ever even look at the usernames by the posts. I know most people by their avatars.
XERXES Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 dont hate me because ive been here a year n a half...or Z... yalls just jealous *glances over at post count* nuts eh, I barely post like once or twice a day too. of course you can always disable an avatar...help save some of the bandwith here you know, cause this isnt the fastest website.

Surfnshannon Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Don't like that idea. No offense. People spam enough as it is to get the custom title...let alone give them a goal of an avi? no thanks
Darth Rythe Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I'm with you on this one, it would be an alright idea. And your not crazy about posting, DarkLighter has over 14000 posts.
BongoBob Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by ET Warrior I don like it just because I hardly ever even look at the usernames by the posts. I know most people by their avatars. I know most people by their Siggies NO!
Surfnshannon Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I've seen it at SW.com The Hyperspace members have avatars and colored names. I don't really like it because it makes the non-members all look the same. I can't tell who's who!

Thats what I was thinking. The site can get super slow. Most of you guys have crappy avs anyways, so what do you care? If you really want an icon so bad, go sign up for AIM or MSN Messenger. It doesn't matter to me either way. I have over 1000 posts, so nothing will happen to me either way.
