I googled my screen name and saw that my avatar was mentioned on a different site:

We've given up Avatars until Tom comes back.


Or maybe it's that the site simply can't handle them at present, though there was rumor there was going to be a work around for this.

Or maybe it's Kurt's fault. Yeah, I think that's it...

Avatars - One of the highest bandwidth hogs is avatars and how they are displayed using avatar.php. In one week, before we disabled them, the file avatar.php has had over 130,000 page views. Dennis is trying to find a hack that allows users to link offsite to their avatar.

Am I the only one who finds avatars to be incredibly annoying? Hopefully if they're enabled again, there will be an option to turn them off on a per-user basis, I know some boards allow that.

Hmmm...An Ipodlounge with all Avatars and no posts, or an Ipodlounge with no Avatars and all posts...Granted, there are days when I think the former is the way to go (and this is fast becoming one of those days), but all in all, it's my hunch that the posting part is probably more essential, but that's only my opinion.


Besides, did you ever see Timmy's Avatar? You know, the dirty dancing Power Ranger on acid? Like I miss THAT...

Ah, but what fun we had tracking down Calvin and Hobbes avatars - and the opportunity of doctoring them to include an iPod. I sometimes pop back into the old forum just to have a laugh at the avatars over there!!

Posted by: dmt1

Yeah, gotta agree with you there--do you know how much time I wasted on that??? Sure was fun though, even with the dastardly Sponge Bob Ipod theft thrown in.. Maybe someday we'll get them back, I do kinda miss my Calvinpod...

not to mention southpark avatars!

Just a quick afterthought: I loooved Timmy Yak's swaying power ranger.

imho the ipodlounge is one of the best designed forums out there - no unnecessary images or overloaded layout invading your face or attackin your senses. For proof check this forum: http://www.prince.org/msg/7/71023 or http://www.prince.org/msg/7/69903

You almost need sunglasses after that glare of colours and content, not to mention the cussing...

Prince? Don't you mean Squiggle? Or has he changed his name again?
That site isn't that bad - some forums require 3 days in a darkened room to recover from!!!

Posted by: Timmy Yak

wow i didn't know so many people loved my STRONG BAD. (not power ranger, chris). Well if we get avatars back, he will be back.

Posted by: ginalee

I for one am waiting with bated breath for the return of timmy yak's avatar...



*almost out of breath so will have to start breathing again*

Make sure you keep plenty of oxygen on hand then.

I'm only on day two of recovery from viewing your desktop in the other thread my friend...Room's totally dark, except for my computer screen, and it's going to take at least another 4 days before a semblance of sanity returns, and these post-apocalyptic images go away...


And Timmy, the only person wanting your Power Ranger on Testosterone back is Ginalee...And after she linked a site to that squiggle, her taste must be brought into question (Sorry Ginalee). On the other hand, Janfriend's Avatar at that site pretty much made my day, so I must thank her for that...

Posted by: Timmy Yak

I agree that Janfriend's avatar is muy delicioso.

I SWEAR it was for research purposes - something I was working on for my office dept. you know in depth market survey bla bla

Want proof - there is not a single prince song on my ipod (yet)

Considering the Janfriend Avatar, all I can say is, well, er, um, interesting choice of words there...

Would be a good name for a direct release video perhaps. Timmy has a few of those, maybe he's already purchased it.





This is so interesting

One word: Riiight.

bizarre

see for yourself.

You're a witch?

Janfriend said:

I used to be. More like a Wiccan. No black magic allowed. Everything you put out come back times 3.

VinaBlue said:

Ooh! I just watched The Craft last night!

I love that movie! For the record, I was like the good witches in that movie. Practical Magick is a great movie as well.
