The more avatars that don't work the better. I've got most people's avatars and sigs from this forum blocked cause they're friggin annoying.

Aww they were fun.

I liked the one someone had of the black kid eating fried chicken calling everything racist and the one that said "your mom" and had some dude bouncing that off his groin.

At one point DPM had one of Chewbacca dancing like Michael Jackson.

Naa Youre right Brent, all of those are annoying including yours. When is it coming down?

Hey, i don't care if people don't like my avatar and want to block it. It's their choice. I was just stating my opinion. Its mostly the animated ones that get to me, so i block those and it streamlines my viewing experience.

Some stuff broke while Nik was plugging security holes in the site.

the avatars are not working properly for good reason, if DPM choses to tell you as he has told me he will do so, lets just say its a accident when fixing the site.

and its true.. if your using an old or a computer that sucks, your computer will slow down like hell with the animated avatars.. but since I dont have a sh*t computer, I really dont mind it.

We broke features on purpose and are restoring them slowly. This is because of security reasons with the recent hack used to crash the site(s). If anyone has any needs as far as uploading a new avatar I can help you update it. Just private message me with what you want.

dial up internet + .gif files = terrible browsing experience. And yes, we have a ton of forum users on dial up. I used to be one.
