Discussion is going on in another thread, regarding the avatars and them getting disabled several years ago. I am starting this unofficial poll to document whether or not you want them to return. I don’t know the extent of the features Blake has to work with, perhaps they can set it to let and individual decide whether or not to turn them on and off? I know I would like that for surfing on mobile devices, and others might like that just because they want to reduce clutter. Perhaps it can be privilege enabled for people that have over 4216 posts? Maybe Santa (Blake) will be nice to us this year! Please avoid discussion here, I just want basic “Yes”, “No”, or if you can think of some other good answer like “Yes but only if I can disable it so I don’t see them”. Discuss it at http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/406 2/422279.html My response is YES, now I will run and hide before Glitch bans me. |

YES - but ONLY if YOU volunteer to pick up the additional custodial work. |

YES and maybe some info about the user below his/her name like: date joined, #posts, a signature, and their location (who's around your town?) my signature: Every so often, I try to masturbate a large word into conversation, even if I'm not really sure what it means." Not sure which one he is, but he's here I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down. Easy on the throttle, steady on the gears, roll her over gently and she'll last for many years. |

If theres one thing I wish could get fixed in our Profiles is. When we actually registered and the posts we lost. The posts I don't think could be retrieved but our Registration Dates??? |

Our racing board for Willow Springs ended up having so much whining that the Admins ended up ASSIGNING avatars. THAT was funny and I could support THAT! |

I think if there are CLEAR rules about what can count as an acceptable avatar (perhaps...must include a Buell?), and the admins have the right to remove any that are questionable...sure. Not a big deal to me either way. More useful/helpful would be adding the following under the poster's name: Register Date / member since Hometown (City/State) Direct link to PM page |

I would like them but I understand why the Mods would not want them. Would it be possible to only let them be bikes? Location would be nice too. |

Yes but only Custodians can put them up. Meaning you send a Custodian your Avatar and they add it to your screen name. That way no unwanted stuff gets posted. |

I wish we could vote on the other members avatars. For instance I would nominate Cityxslicker to have Pigpen. Don't know the fella except for the board but it seems to fit. |

The best reference to avatars I know of is "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. Seems superfluous to me. Graduated/mojoenabled emoticons (beyond the currently available ones) would be bonus. Or I could learn to benevolently hack my own trail thru this kudzu. Speaking of which, who can get some Kudzunol? Might get them fiddys to run lak turpentine on a catzass. |

>>>>I would like them but I understand why the Mods would not want them. I can help. Put your Mother's phone number and your 8 year old daughter's e-mail address here and I'll show you. Avatars have no place on Badweb. The last experience was a nightmare. It was given a fair shake, we tried it, we tried adjusting, being tolerant, forgiving and made a dedicated effort. . . it didn't work. I am very active in another forum that has them but they work there. They do not work on Badweb. That's not my opinion, that's the result of actual empirical information gained from our experience with them. |

I vote yes, at the same time I know I will be one of the unclean masses that will push the limits of the rules. So if they don't come back I will understand. (Message edited by fester99 on December 18, 2008) |

"I am very active in another forum that has them but they work there. They do not work on Badweb. That's not my opinion, that's the result of actual empirical information gained from our experience with them." See, that's what I don't get. It CAN be done, other's have no problems, but BadWeb admins can't handle it? I'm not saying that like a smart ass, I'm genuinely confused where all the difficulty lies. If there's a problem, warn, warn, BAN! If anybody cries about it, well, Blake has never cared in the past. Oh, officially I'd vote YES, but I got here after this mysterious disaster everyone is mumbling about. ~SM |

The guy whose living room we're sitting in doesn't want them, so...it doesn't really matter what I vote. |
