We should be able to post a pic under our usename from the beginning. Mabey, the pic that we put in the actual post could require us to have so many post. The pic under the usename is like a calling card, it gives the site color and the user a identity.
Just a thought.

Username pics= Avatars
Hmmm...
I think avatars should be earned through commitment through the site by posting therefore I like how it is now.
OMG, I\'ve been here for a day and I\'m already bout\' to get an avatar, ice cream for me!

Yeah, you really need to earn it. But I suggest you wait for 1400 posts. It may seem like a lot but I\'ve been here since July and only have a few hundred more to go. It goes fast. Your stars don\'t freeze because their at wise member status and your rank will be wise member. There is a lovely thread about this in the Main Forum named Newbies Come Here written by Soulgrind. Check it out. It explains everything.

Am I still considered a newbie?

yes, if you post a bunch of crap and spam to get your oic then you have no insight to the games. granted im sure you have stuff that your very passionate, but i have not read it yet. because to me wasting a post saying "Eh?" is not the most quality post you could think of
im gonna wait till 1400 posts before i get an avatar, its a long ways away but i\'ll make it!

yea but when do we get to change the member status ourselves? This is not for mod. only right? Do you have to like at least go to the wise member status first?
-
I don\'t really like the titles here so much. "Wise Member" "Junior Member" It\'s not very original.
-
I think that we should become a member and then get a picture...It helps me to remember better!!!
-
You bunch of whiners!!!! Of you want a freaking avatar at post #1 then suck it and go somewhere else.
A lot of us earned pics and that makes them worth something. Just hang out and join the conversation. There is plenty to talk about here and it takes no time at all to get to 500.
If we just gave you a pic then it would mean nothing.
Only Jamie gets a pic under 500 because he is just a dweeb.

I think Wise Member sounds dumb. It\'s like, wow, you have 3000 posts, your wise. No he\'s not! He\'s pathetic. He has spent half his life on these forums! Therefore, he should be Dumb Member, not Wise Member!
I\'m really pissed here! (Enters mad smiley, because so stupid doesn\'t know how to make one)
-
Getting to 3000 is not that big of a deal. I spend maybe 10 minutes total throughout the day here. I just type fast and I type a lot. If something strikes me as funny or interesting, I post. I\'m certainly not pathetic.
I have a feeling many of the other posters are the same way.
Wise Member is kind of a lame name though. It\'s the default for the software. We should come up with different level names.
-
Guess what, even if I earn it, Big F$cking deal, still won\'t mean a damn thing! I just want one because then I won\'t look ordinary. I don\'t need to be a forum God with 1245346 billion posts. I just want a lame ass little pic under my name. If I wanted to earn something, I would get a damn job!
Ok. I feel better now. Time to go take my medicine.
-
The pictures really do need to be earned though. It shows that you are dedicated to the forums. Wait until 500 and then get your avatar. You get it in no time if you post here everyday. I registered at the way end of July and i almost have 900.
-
and you don\'t even have a pic yet? guess your waiting for that 1400 mark?
:yawn:

Having a lot of posts doesn\'t make you a forum God. Having interesting posts makes you a God. From the looks of things, even if you had a billion posts, you would still be a peasent.
And get a freaking job you loser!!!

I am because I don\'t want my stars to freeze along with my rank. I\'m smart. Me and Luke and anyone else who actually waited.

well i only know of a few of us with personal member statuses - guess we were just lucky or something
-
How did you get those personal member statuses?
-
they asked nicely
clyde would do it for a nanner or two
:)
-
So I will NEVER become a Wise Member?!!?
F*CK THAT, I\'M LEAVING THEN.
joke :laughing:

I have always felt that this whole post minimum requirement for avatars is a form of elitism. Not the most obnoxious example I\'ve encountered on the Internet, but it is elitism nevertheless.
I\'m generally against situations where people set up artifical barriers to separate "US" from the vast uninvited "THEM." I think avatars are useful to help readers remember individual posters, and they\'d be even more useful if everyone had them.
In my case I could get one, but I\'ve just been too lazy to decide on the right picture and make it. I\'m not waiting for "Senior Member" status; I don\'t really care about that.

feels as if this is directed to me

-
<<<--- Elitest
and darn proud of it!
-
I think its good how it is now, having to get 500 post, it makes the avatar special, I still remember wanting a pic and mm wouldn\'t give it to me because he said I got to 500 to fast, but now that I think about it he was right, an avatar is something special at this site
-
Yeah whatever March 2001 and 1700+ posts boy!
How do you get 6 stars like videoholic ?
