Can we get some order in regards to the avatars. It is disgusting to see pornography in some people's avatars over here. Makes this site unviewable in public.
I think this discussion happened yesterday. The basic response was that you can turn off avatars or get Firefox and have the individual images you don't like blocked. Personally, I think nothing screams "I'm a cyber-dork" like putting a picture of a hot chick in your avatar. The fact I'm even using "hot chick" and "avatar" in the same sentence makes me feel like a freakin' nerd. We have a stickied thread on this forum (as opposed to a sticky thread, which it might also be) where you can scroll through hot chick photos at your leisure. Or, you can do what normal people do and keep your sports and porn surfing separate. -Pop
I agree. DaRizzle's avatar is completely out of bounds. I can't surf at work if people can see the Piss & Purple.
Just out of curiosity, but which avatars do you find "obscene"? Is it only Crandc's that you object to?
crandc's is the worst, because it is the only one with just a bare nude part, with no underwear in there. Having underwear in there has been the past threshold for qualifying something as not being nudity and being nudity. But any avatar with near naked ladies as well helps make this site unviewable in public. I almost am always viewing this site in public, and don't care to switch off avatars, because they can be used to quickly see in your peripheral vision who wrote the post. An avatar like Anima's is more tasteful.
Cyber dorks come in all shapes and sizes. Some like to post pictures of themselves, or their friends, or their children, or their dog, or their motocycle, or their car. Others like to post pictures of obscure symbols, or punk-rock bands, or certain kinds of food, or movie posters, or books, or baskebal players wearing sunglasses . . . You get the idea. A hot chick is a sign of nothing except that the guy likes hot chicks, and who doesn't?
The only avy's I have a problem with is the poster with the picture of the dudes ass or the dude covering his junk with a cowboy hat. Seriously, WTF!
Sometimes a female poster has to post a guy's ass for the other female posters to view. Don't hate on the firm globes delivering giddy pleasure to the finer sex.
I embrace tlong's avatar. Crandc's, ehh not so much but I don't really give a shit. Just don't look at it.
You don't get the point. I could care less about seeing it. But when you're viewing the site in public, other people see it, especially on the great MacBook screen with 178 degree viewing angles. If people want to look at pornography, go to a porn site. Here's a list of porn sites that you can go to: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=porn&btnG=Google Search
We are allowed to post words like SHIT, FUCK, ASS, etc etc here. Those would also offend some people if viewed in public. PLEASE, lets not start censoring stuff here like other message boards do.
Those are also words, not images. Images are much easier to see than a word on the computer screen. Images captivate. Words, they're there.
