    For the laugh, let's just pick the same Avatar and use it for the week, or day. It'll be wild and crazy?
    How about it?

    Seriously though what avatar would we all choose? Let's all choose one of the Admin's avatars... just to mess with them.... no I'd be making powerful enemies....



    If someone can tell me exactly what page my avatar is on in the avatar pages (so i can replace it laters) then i'll do it

    My thoughts exactly, well nearly.
    We could pick one of the Admin's avatars, then follow them around for the day (on Boardies of course). Posting replys to theirs, and agreeing with them and defending them also. Treat them as our God, just for the Day.

    We just GOTTA do it, Stevie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭Ste-


    Most if not all of the Admins have custom avatars.
    Don't wanna put a wet blanket on things or anything.

    Viva Le Revolution.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,213 ✭✭✭✭therecklessone


    No way am I playing this game.

    I'm not spending ages searching through all the avatars to find the one youse all pick, then doing the same to find my one again.

    No way.

    Next you'll be asking us to undergo intensive plastic surgery so that we can all look like an admin at the next boards beer. Crazy talk! :D

    Don't worry honey, my husband is twenty three and is still cultivating bumfluff.

    You didn't hear that from me though.

    Surely not al the Admins and Mods have the same Avatars? There's got to be a couple? Oh, and by the way, we'll also have the same signature as well.

    However, if all else fails we could always pick a theme, pack a Avatar, write the same signature, and then go to some Forum and spread a bit of the Old CucKoo's Nest Spirit everywhere.
    Whatja Fink?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭Ste-


    It's the CUCKOO'S Nest not Sheep.
    Are you always into so much conformity ?

    I think that proved once and for all we're truly lambs to the slaughter

    Read the first page, I know how it ends.
    Plus you lot can't count :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    I think the most successfull attempt at avatar uniformity so far was the thread I started on avatar theft... there were maybe only about 10/15 of us using the unabomber avatar, but it was absolute quality fun. :D
    Very confusing to read though... which is also fun.
    PH01's idea = cool. count me in if this goes ahead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    I dunno
    I like my avatar + tagline and all...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    tbh I think taglines shouldn't change, since those of us who aren't subscribers can't do it anyway.
    And you can always change your avatar back after the week.
    Trust me, it's funny shít when you have a load of people with the same stupid-looking avatar posting in one thread... really confuses people :D


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    You know the admin would just change his/her avatar to mess with yizzer minds, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,225 ✭✭✭JackKelly


    ta me suas for it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,120 ✭✭✭PH01


    For a few days there I thought that this idea had died, so it's great to see the good old cuckoo's nest spirit is still there alive and well. Hurray! :D
    By my count (see list below) there are about 4 peeps who are in favour, 3 maybees and 4 scardypants, and like what SantaHoe has said the bigger the number of willing participants we have the greater the impact. So we need to get this number up and how do we do that? Advertise! I'm doing this through my signature. You might too.
    So, go forth an multiply!

    Absolutely, we're all individuals, and we'll all agree on the avatar. And the signature as well.
    Have any of ye any suggestions what one to use? Or what theme? Like if we're aiming to do this in a week in December, should we have a Christmas theme for our first run?


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    Sure, Vega has been my trusty compadre for years now; be good to give him a day off :)

    I think there's one guy who I rarely post in the same forums as with Vega *shakes fist*.

    I signed up for a subscriber pack so I could subtly change my Guenter avatar. There may be 1 or 2 other Guenter's out there.. but none quite like mine....


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    And yet... no pink stars?

    I'm not sure I want to risk breaking my Hyman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge

    I noticed that too... who needs them anyway? Pink is a little bit lame... and stars are lame too.. I want guns!

    Ok, some suggestions:

    Simpsons_-_Hans_Moleman.gif The Peoples Hans Moleman Movement. [page 5]

    Movies_-_Shakespeare.gif With this one we all can only post in Shakespeare style wording. [page 8]

    Seinfeld_-_Seinfeld_7.gif This one, just because it's disturbing to look at for some reason. [page 25]

    Sesame_Street_-_BettyLou.gif Or this one for the same reason. [page 41]

    Laughed when I saw this one Seinfeld_-_Seinfeld_16.gif, it creeps me out. [page 53]

    Games_-_Space_Invader.gif Start an Amp cult? :P [page 63]

    Movies_-_Unabomber.gif This is the unabomber avatar I was talking about ;) [page 70]

    Any thoughts?

    Who's Hans Moleman? Looks like a guy off the Simpsons, but what does he usually say?

    Also, how about these...

    page 79: Sandman - Corinthian - Sandman_-_Corinthian.gif
    page 82: Simpsons - Happy Little Elf - Simpsons_-_Happy_Little_Elf.gif
    Page 88: Mr Men - Mr Small - Mr_Men_-_Mr_Small.gif

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    you should make december same avatar month, a week doesnt really give much time to spread the word. you could have in your sig (in letters slightly smaller than PHO1's (December is same avatar month or something like that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,387 ✭✭✭EKRIUQ


    Why not Santa Clause, as it is the festive season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Dingatron


    Count me in. I second the Santa Clause. Into the festive spirit and all that stuff!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,120 ✭✭✭PH01


    All in favour of December being Same Avatar months and we'll use a Christmasee themed avatar say EYE!

    Suggested...
    Page 8: Simpsons - Santa Homer - Simpsons_-_Santa_Homer.gif
    Page 11: Smurfs - Grandpa - Smurfs_-_Grandpa.gif Because he looks like Santa!
    Page 22: Far Side - God - Far_Side_-_God.gif Where would Xmas be without GOD?
    Page 23: Simpsons - Santa Bart - Simpsons_-_Santa_Bart.gif
    Page 38: Simpsons - Santa - Simpsons_-_Santa.gif
    Page 43: Gort - Lep - Gort_-_Lep.gif A cute bunny. Easter Bunny at Christmas, why not?!
    Page 47: Charlie Brown - Xmas Tree - Charlie_Brown_-_Xmas_Tree.gif
    Page 58: Mr Men - Mr Snow - Mr_Men_-_Mr_Snow.gif
    Page 74: Gort - TheCrownSitsHeavilyToday - Gort_-_TheCrownSitsHeavilyToday.gif
    Page 83: South Park 1 - MrHanky - South_Park_1_-_MrHanky.gif
    Page 84: Gort - HappySnowGuy - Gort_-_HappySnowGuy.gif
    Page 84: Futurama - Futurama 31 - Futurama_-_Futurama_31.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    I vote for Page 84: Gort - HappySnowGuy

    We can all look like hobbes.

    If we all change our avatars it has to be the same as someone who's well known on the board (and also someone who actually seems to have a sense of humour cos otherwise they won't be a happy bunny, and its just a larff)

    And yes I think December's the way to go...


    btw anyone know what page my avatar (Zim) is on so i can find it in january?
