Rancid-Radio Posted December 11, 2001 i've noticed a few people have had their avatars changed to a flashing "I AM GAY" was this intentional or did ling just decide to have some fun? 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted December 11, 2001 Lessee... Well, as you may know, we can't (at this time) upload new avatars for our own use... every so often (I hope) Ling decides to say "Email me them TODAY and I'll upload them". However, a few dudes decided to send Ling avatars even though it WASN'T an "upload day" (which has occurred only once). This is their punishment. I was talking to Zaldron on AIM, and apparently he CAN change it back, but that would be "admitting defeat". 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted December 11, 2001 I was talking to Zaldron on AIM, and apparently he CAN change it back, but that would be "admitting defeat". Wear your new avatar proudly Zal! I saw ling browsing the forums at the time of the now famous "avatar change" Funny how all the "wierd" things happen when lings around. =] 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 I'll be using this thing from now on, unless there's a new avatar upload day before Doom3's release. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted December 11, 2001 I'll be using this thing from now on, unless there's a new avatar upload day before Doom3's release.Me too. This is more obnoxious than the red X. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zeratul 982 Posted December 11, 2001 Speaking of which, I kind of miss seeing those animated avatars. Everything seems to...still without them. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 Well it's hard to make nice animated avatars with the filesize limit... 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted December 11, 2001 Well, that sucks that you have to use those avatars *snickers*. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted December 11, 2001 Well it's hard to make nice animated avatars with the filesize limit...There's one of the doomguy's face dissipating and reassembling itself, I think it has at least 10 frames. You can do enough with 10 frames. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 Well, that gives me an idea, but sadly we can't do anything until Upload Day. HINT HINT 0 Share this post Link to post
danarchist Posted December 11, 2001 HINT HINT w3rd I have a ton of avatar ideas. I just got a new one...it will be like 'I am Gay' but 10x more irritating. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 I have a ton of avatar ideas. I just got a new one...it will be like 'I am Gay' but 10x more irritating. Perhaps we should have a "Most Irritating Avatar Upload day". Yeah that would be cool, once the painkillers start kicking in of course... 0 Share this post Link to post

These avatars will only make people like cacodorkman and Executor (e.g. the "traffic" you are talking about) more excited. 0 Share this post Link to post

danarchist Posted December 11, 2001 Yeah...I know, its kinda evil to chase people away, but oh well, this isn't reality, and if they have a problem with flaming gays (or people pretending to be), they are moronic bigots. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 I don't know about you, but I just use the word "gay" as an insult just because it's short. I have nothing against homosexuals, and to most internet users it's just one more word of the really bizarre lingo we've been brewing up. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 11, 2001 Damnit, the I AM GAY thinguie's gone. Oh well... 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted December 11, 2001 Iffit makes you feel better, Zaldron, I'll always think of you as my little gay friend. =) GET YOUR HAND OFF OF MY LEG. Even if I was a full fledged fag I know I could do better than you, mwahahaha. Oh who am I kidding? =/ 0 Share this post Link to post
ShadyXMR Posted December 11, 2001 A short while ago people used the word "nigger" to refer to someone who was just stupid or acting like an idiot. Now the word is "gay" or "faggot". History repeats itself and.... hold on, I remember having this conversation before. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron went with Lut, then I went with Zaldron, then I went to bad and missed the damn gay thing. Bah. how about a goatse.cx (hyperlink deliberately avoided) avatar? Know what I mean? hahahaha!!! 0 Share this post Link to post
