crossfire Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) why blow this situation up and make it something bigger than it has to be? just follow the rules, and everybody wins. regardless of your opinons, this isnt your site, it's up to someone else to decide what does, and doesnt fly around here. if you like your avatar that much, make it your desktop background.. then you can see it all the time, and noone can tell you you cant have it there. i mean making a big deal over something this stupid could make the admins remove all the avatars..just like they did with the signatures.. the actions of a few affect the whole group.. think about others before you make huge deal out of some fake boobs Edited October 9, 2004 by crossfire Link to post Share on other sites
IanG Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) I'm not trying to get avatars removed, because that would be :censored: I'm just saying that my avatar was NOT sexually oriented and you see more skin at the beach. You see more when your a baby. A little cleavage, you see that at your office at work. I even see it too much at school. Edited October 9, 2004 by IanG Link to post Share on other sites
crossfire Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I'm not trying to get avatars removed, because that would be :censored: but if the admins decide that the avatars are a problem around here, they will take them off, just to make things run smoother.. i mean people do come here for help with computers, not to see people griping over avatars.. this is really more of a GD type of thread .. maybe it should be moved so the oc newbies dont come here and get distracted by it :help: Link to post Share on other sites

Vranichou Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 There. Mines not sexually oriented. -=Vran=- Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I thought about the fact that it was privately owned and therefore was indeed subject to censorship, but somehow in my typing frenzy, it never made it to the keyboard. -=Vran=- Some avatar. I guess you are too young to remember. But since you have the "Freedom of expression" it is not for me to say otherwise, just that it disgusts me. Hawk :beer: Link to post Share on other sites
Vranichou Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) Actually, I didn't change it until after I read this BS anal rententive inspired thread. And I really doubt you're old enough to remember Hitler. I'm 46. Edit: My father was a US Navy carrier combat pilot that served in WW II, Korea and Viet Nam, so I do remember a little. -=Vran=- Edited October 9, 2004 by Vranichou Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 And I really doubt you're old enough to remember Hitler. Oh yeah, I am. I lived through it. Not old enough to serve though although I lost a cousin (Sgt. in US Marines) at St.Lo. after D Day. I think you should ask your father about the man you are using as an avatar & maybe he can explain.

Vranichou Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 How 'bout Stalin? He was on our side in WW II. 'cept he was responsible for more deaths than Hitler, but still, he was on our side. -=Vran=- Link to post Share on other sites

Vranichou Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 i don't see anything wrong with the avatar. Hussein? How bout him? He was on our side too after the Ayathollah Khomeini took over Iran. He was our buddy then! We loved him! Thought he was the best thing since drive-in movies! -=Vran=- Link to post Share on other sites
ArtfullySedated Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 If I want to see skin, I'll go to the beach. I expect to see it there. This is a family oriented computer help site, family meaning of all ages, so no I don't expect to have to see it here.

IanG Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Oh come on. Its barely any skin. You guys are overreacting. It's an avatar. You dont need to look at it. You are acting like its life and death. ArtifullySedated, you can save your trip to the beach. I mean, geeze. I dont care if its a family site or not. Its not showing any parts, not doing anything sexual. Who ever said wearing a shirt exposing some cleavage was sexual? YOU SEE IT ALL DAY ON TV! Link to post Share on other sites

ArtfullySedated Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 IanG, I disagree with you. I found your avatar not only sexually inappropriate for this type of forum but sexually suggestive and demeaning towards women as well. My 15 year old son likes it though Link to post Share on other sites
IanG Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 You can disagree with me as much as you want. Your age is different than ours. Us younger people are more intrested in women. Also, how was this demanding towards women? I see volts avatar having jazzy kiss him. and stuff. My avatar had nothing to do with kissing. Just a hot woman. Link to post Share on other sites
crossfire Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 . Us younger people are more intrested in women. so go to a womens forum then Link to post Share on other sites
Vranichou Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 So that's the solution! Instead of hot chicks you just set your avatar to hated historical figures responsible for millions of innocent deaths! I think I'll use James Monroe. Who remembers Manifest Destiny and the the plight of the noble savage during the early 1800's in the US? Too bad we weren't around then to defend them! -=Vran=- Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 IanG....go watch TV or get outside and play.....you've been on about this avatar thing much too long. You're posting in two different areas on the same subject, and it's not going to change. As Inp suggested, "drop it" before you embarrass yourself. As was also suggested earlier....use your avatar as wallpaper and you will be able to see it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
IanG Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) so go to a womens forum then Show me one. I'll leave this forum, leave you people alone, and never come back Edit: FFS, you would see my avatar pic in any magazine, including Good Housekeeping...
