Avatars

[BadMoon]

I noticed more and more people coming on the boards and using peoples avatars. I say to you that the internet police should put a stop to this.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

What do you mean "using peoples avatars"?

Like um.... see I was trying not to call certain people out. I will say it like this. Say someone new came in and took my exact avatar and went with it (the picture under my name). Unlike say you and Maulfan. Yes both is of Batman yet both are your own. They aren't the exact same.

I'm not sure if it's against the rules, but it should certainly be seen as bad board etiquette. Something original would be more creative and wouldn't step on anybody's toes.

Oh, ok I see. Just call them out BadMoon. They must be chastized by name.

I know one you're speaking of, I thought it was DarkArtist at first because it was the same avatar Josh used during Halloween time, but it was someone new.

At least some people have unique signatures

Oh, that one, I had been confused, I saw the avatar but the person was new so I was wondering about it. But perhaps it was originally from someplace common and so one of our board members had used it and the new person just happened to be using it also?

 

[pixletwin]

I knew immediately the people you were referring to. It is very annoying. :emperor

 

[occulum]

who was it that was using JeeseWilson's avatar for awhile? ...

 

[pixletwin]

Mooncat, but he turned into his own personality eventually.

 

[Darth Madden]

Nobody better steal my Woody.

 

[occulum]

ah. thats him.


I could easily see it happening accidentally sometimes.

I could even see somebody from this board going to another board and using an Av he got form somebody over here. And then the original user signs up at the same new board and looks like he's the one ripping the 2nd guy off.




....ok, I only know that cause I ripped one from a guy on another board one time and I was hoping he wouldnt show up at the other board .

 

[Kabukiman]

I don't see it as a problem.

 

[occulum]

I don't see it as a problem.

... now thats funny ..

 

[pixletwin]

I don't see it as a problem.

That took me a second. Good one!

 

[Batty]

I'm thinking of changing mine.

 

[TOE]

I don't see it as a problem.

...speaking of avatars ....

edit: darn it...i thought you were Dark dave

 

[wookilar8]

It's funny but I think people look like their avatars. I think of Batty as looking like Roy Batty, I think of Tom as looking like Luke Skywalker and so on... Oh and by the way I look exactlly like my avatar.
