The Avatar Game

So basically just comment about the avatar of the user above you...if there is one.

What is homer doing?

# 2 Re: The Avatar Game
This might not work since only a limited membership has avatars.

What is that green blob thing Dan?

it's the little guy in pokemon, a gameboy game released in 1996

like the little south-park type guy

he used to be your sig, right?

# 4 Re: The Avatar Game
Ya, my old Avatar in my sig until last week. This is just an update, same character, different background.
baggss at 2007-11-15 18:12:13 >
# 5 Re: The Avatar Game
I like the background - it adds a nice touch :)

I think Homer's saying D'oh

Do you guys realize that your avatars aren't showing up anymore?
LukeA at 2007-11-15 18:14:11 >
# 7 Re: The Avatar Game
Avatars won't show up unless the user viewing the threads has them turned on. Go to your UserCP (Shortcuts & Settings Menu->Edit Options) and ensure that "Show Avatars" is selected.

# 8 Re: The Avatar Game
It was unselected, but I used to see them, and I never unselected it. And I can't get an Avatar myself. Tell me, what are the requirements for having an avatar? Apparently I don't meet them. Do I have to have 1,500 posts?
LukeA at 2007-11-15 18:16:17 >
# 9 Re: The Avatar Game
Well, I'm not sure what you used to see, as we just enabled them globally (for senior members only) on Friday. Prior to that they were completely shut off.

The staff badges aren't actually avatars, so you should see those regardless of the "Show Avatars" setting.

The requirements to have an avatar are one year of membership (365 days) and 1500 posts.

Thanks for clearing that up.

that's nice, is it standard issue? ;)

# 12 Re: The Avatar Game
I like yours, but before you said it was the Pokemon guy I thought it was Ness ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ness). But oh well. It's nice though.

I bet those 99 posts are killing you, papayaninja. :D

# 14 Re: The Avatar Game
93, thank you very much. :D

I'll get there by Christmas I assume. Anyway, since we don't have avatars I'll comment on your user text. It's a double negative. It should just be "Culture".
papayaninja at 2007-11-15 18:22:24 >
# 15 Re: The Avatar Game
Well since you don't have an avatar, I'll just comment on yours.

The Pepperoni one tastes decent, but the rest will clog your arteries. Beware!

# 16 Re: The Avatar Game
I personally think he should look more frustrated when he's saying D'oh!

it looks like he's smiling
mrdantownsend at 2007-11-15 18:24:21 >
# 17 Re: The Avatar Game
Are you sure he's not saying "Donut"?
jwc110869 at 2007-11-15 18:25:28 >
# 18 Re: The Avatar Game
iDK, because MJ said he was saing d'oh, but he doesnt look angry enough

i think you're right, he's probably saying donut

I like hobbes, he's cool
mrdantownsend at 2007-11-15 18:26:22 >
# 19 Re: The Avatar Game
Perhaps donut. Anyone read lips here?

I'm in denial about not having an avatar. Pretend it's there. And is awesome.

A little snip, a little snap, a little apple... SNAPPLE! (3 cheers for super inside jokes)

I am so close to having an avatar. So close I should start finding/making one. Again, pretend :D

# 31 Re: The Avatar Game

Eric Lewis at 2007-11-15 18:39:40 >
# 32 Re: The Avatar Game
No, you're not close...

Spamming won't get you an avatar either.
mjmoonwalker at 2007-11-15 18:40:42 >
# 33 Re: The Avatar Game
Eric Lewis, if you look at a post called Avatars?, located in the suggestions forum. Baggss asks how many posts you need to have an avatar.

It's one of the Grateful Dead's logos...

Looks like a black and white soccer player. Is it "football" in "The Free World"?
papayaninja at 2007-11-15 18:46:50 >
# 39 Re: The Avatar Game
It's football every world except the free world if that's where you consider America to be. That's Eric The King. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Cantona)

I like the Grateful Dead.

I suppose... :D

It's the New Age Retro Hippie from EarthBound for the SNES. I'm currently addicted to it via emulator.

edit: That picture is from a screenshot I took, but the whole sprite is here (http://walkthrough.starmen.net/earthbound/image/enemies/newageretrohippie.png) if you're curious.
