Avatar thieves - boooo

SantaHoe

Something must be done, what about some sort of I-bags-dat system where avatars are reserved on a first-come first-served basis.
If you agree with me, set your avatar to match mine and we'll be one step closer to winning the war on avatar thievery and bringing the culprits to justice.
You're either with us, or against us.
Any further avatar thievery will only stregthen our resolve.

Mr E

Ah I see, it's all an evil plot by the boards government... creating new user accounts for the sole purpose of avatar theft, and then "ooh what's this pay to stop avatar theft?" ... well isn't that convenient.
It's extortion that's what it is, a racket and nothing more.
You're all FOOLS, don't you see what they're doing here?
Oh I had my suspisions this may be going on many months ago, so I chose an avatar that nobody could possibly want... Proffesor Farnsworth from Futurama... and surely enough they finaly got to me... but at least now I know.
Oh laugh if you like, but some day... maybe one day in the distant future, you'll log on to find they've gotten to you too.

mr_angry

Its all a sham. I went and subscribed, changed my avatar, and then realised that I was far too attached to my original avatar, and so had to change back.

Curse my love of teh Cow! (Well, I am from outside Dublin, after all )

But then again, I do get to talk about random sh*t in my journal, and slag off my hosuemates and get in lost of trouble and stuff! :ninja:

Plus that overwhelming sense of joy I was promised from supporting my fav website. That might have got lost in the mail or something... I dunno.

My avatar was killed in a kayak accident.

If it was on the first come first served basis, then all inactive accounts would be hoggin the avatars even though they weren't posting.

It is slightly annoying though when people have the same avatar, I usually go by avatar and don't bother looking at the username.

aye me too to the extent that i replied to someone by name after seeing the avatar only to realise someone else had his avatar and he was like wtf is xyz. i'm sure someone else has used the data avatar but is not a regular poster. i will kill him.

It's still too soon to move on?

You brave brave man. Chin up. Chin up.

Giblet

It's like replacing a puppy, except in this case, it's a rat. I know if I do it, It would help me move on, but I couldn't betray ratbert like that.

DapperGent

I think you should get out there, maybe try a few avatars, nothing serious - don't put yourself under any pressure.

It would help the healing process and who knows you might meet the right avatar before you know it.

Beruthiel

can a Mod move this to PI please?

DapperGent

Yeah I need to discuss how my avatar is a filthy whore and will shack up with any Tom, Dick or Truckle.

No thanks.
You'd like this all swept under the rugs wouldn't you Beruthiel?
You'd like this moved to PI so all the arm-chair psychologists can classify, pidgeon-hole and perscribe a coctail of drugs that keep us quiet and subdued.
You'd like to administer hours of electo-shock "therapy" until we're nothing but drooling cabbages wouldn't you?
Well the silent minority won't stand for this kind of thing any longer, the truth will set us free.

You've got me all paranoid now, I just saw my posts above and saw the avatar, then thought - "hey who's that posting here using my avatar the cheeky git?"
I've stolen my own avatar, how can this be let to continue?

I had the same problem. My love of my space invader too strong to give up so I flipped him horizontally and later gave him shades to reflect the fact that I'm cool and the ciggarette to, well, annoy members of the Church of The Self Righteous Ex-Smoker.

Only subcribers can have the same sort of bonding relationship with their loved avatar.

So pm today. Our Admins are standing by to take you to subscriber heaven.

Thats so not fair

KlodaX

people pick the same avatars ... obviously good ones.... be origional ... pick one way at the back that nobody else would want... then if someone new starts using your avatar ... give them lots and lots of random abuse till they give it up.

or befriend them... they are obviously like minded.
