Okay, sorry, my bad ^_^
Anyways, it's unfair while some have custom avatars, and others are forced to use standart gallery, which, being pretty good, does not offer creative satisfaction. ^_^

Your creative satisfaction can fuck off. The only people who have custom avatars are developers and staff (if they choose to).

Frowning at my monitor as I read your dumb post.
The codex's stupid policy about uploaded avatars never made sense to me.

"Oh God we don't want to have our forums look bad, our internet reputation must be upheld!"

Meanwhile everyone links lemonparty and uses the same edgy chatspeak 'satire' that was en vogue 4 years ago. Thank God you don't have custom avatars though, because people's opinions of this venerable site would really change.

I don't quite second your opinion on RPGCodex forum in general (your retardolander, after all), but I agree with you on uploadable avatars, that is, absence of which.

Exitium! Say sumthin!

It's because uploadable avatars are bullshit and all they do is take up space. Maybe they want you to express you limited and superficial individuality with words, and not silly little .gifs of the badger song. :roll:

One: The banner isn't huge
Two: RPGcodex is not hosting the banner
Three: I once open-mouthed kissed a horse

1) It's huge compared to the custom avatars you were arguing against.
2) Codex doesn't have to host custom avatars either.
3) Good for you.

As was already stated, avatars don't really need to be uploaded on RPGCodex server. You could just put an external link, and RPGCodex won't notice a thing.

So, your points are void of any sense.

You could always develop an RPG, then you'll get a custom avatar. Aren't we generous?

Who has more posts? Me or you? Yeah, that's what I thought!

Most people aren't responsible enough to have custom avatars (see the beginning of this thread). Standard avatars keep dormant gay fantasies under control.

Hah, this is strange.
RPGCodex doesn't have language or thread-thematic filters, right?
Then why should you censor avatars?

Well, I understand your concern about those one-day tards wearing totally moronic avatars, but hey! it's not very difficult to set up a post requirement for custom avatars. Say, 150 posts will be enough. Even 100.

Because a picture is worth thousand words, and usually people who bother to write thousand words have something important to say.

Well, why are you wearing an avatar then?

I fail to recognize the correlation between having anything to say and having a good avatar.
Those things don't conflict each other in any way.

I'm not wearing anything. I mean... I probably shouldn't have said that...

I use avatar as a height spacer for my posts. I only chose the one that was least tacky.
