Avatar Fads?

[UnKnown X]

We've had quite a few successful sig fads where everyone in OD puts a specific line in their sig, but how about we used something that's a little more noticeable -- avatars!

We could start slowly, with, for example, the avatar getting an added frame with some text that flashes by occasionally. Or we could simply replace our avs with something silly, such as elderly soap stars and TV hosts, etc.

[Pigbuster]

Like the 666 4 Vader thing?
I'm not sure if that was OD exclusive or not, though.
The flashing text would have to be really unnoticeable and subliminal for me to be interested in that, and to do that, the avatar would have to be 60 fps or something.

But I'm all for the elderly soap stars and/or TV hosts.

[Slick]

How about we just choose out favorite forum smiley and use that for an avatar?
I don't know...it could be cray-zay!

[UnKnown X]

Ahah! But first we have to stretch 'em out to 100x100. I'm taking ':o'!

Also, Piggy Baster! [666 fo' Vader (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18023&highlight=vader+666)].

[Paul.Power]

Wa-hey-hey!

[UnKnown X]

Hahaha, this is brilliant! :D

[SupSuper]

Although there aren't as many smileys as there are ODers, but I suppose we could use them repeatedly if necessary.

[UnKnown X]

That'd just make it even better! Confusion = good.

[Star Worms]

Taadaa !

[Slick]

Yay for my idea!

[UnKnown X]

Can't wait 'till people start noticing...

[Star Worms]

Slick - make yours transparent, it doesn't fit with the purple theme. Plus, you jpg'd it:p

here we go...

Thanks, I would of done it but its off to work I go!

[Paul.Power]

Well, this thread is sure giving my evil, maniacal cackling a good workout.

[SupSuper]

Why is my avatar bigger than the rest? *scratches head*

[UnKnown X]

Maybe the smiley fits a bit better in its dimensions?

:p:o

COMPARE!!

Go Man, Go!

EDIT! Transparency is being a tit!

Heh, I wonder how long it'll take for the non-ODers to start tagging along like parasites?

[Xinos]

I snagged a smiley even before I found this thread, just because I noticed you where all doing it. I'm so naive ;D

And when all smileys are used, we build a group called the Elite 12.

Heh, I just had an idea that probably won't work, but i'll try it out here. Creating new smileys, and dotting them around in your posts and see if anyone notices. 26850

OK people, not psyke thinks he can go along with the crowd we need to put something in our sigs.

*remembers the days of "xXxSpIdErxXx wasn't there!"*

Unless anyone can think of anything better how about "psyke o_0 wasn't there!"

[Paul.Power]

Wormgod's at it now. I like him more than Psyke, but he still wasn't there...

[UnKnown X]

Maybe "PSYKE AND WORMGOD ARE THIEVES!!!!!"

[bonz]

What is this thread all about? :(

[Paul.Power]

What is this thread all about? :(See the first post, but I'll start here.

You may remember seeing a couple of sig fads such as "All cheese must be paid to him". Well, on the whole they were started in here as a joke to play on the Non-ODers.

Well, this is the next logical step. It's also a lot more noticeable.

[bonz]

That was sarcasm... ;)
<---

[thomasp]

I like the way some of the people "outside" have done it, but haven't realised the need for transparent backgrounds ;)

[SupSuper]

I like the way some of the people "outside" have done it, but haven't realised the need for transparent backgrounds ;)That's because they use Paint for resizing :p
and SupSuper... http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/757/tongue7ku.gifThanks but I like it like that :p

I've found that the difference is that I removed the blank space on the image, so more space for resizing.

[bonz]

I already got a private message about the smilies.
I shall send them this link:

[SupSuper]

I've been IMed about the smilies (by SuperBlob). I just say "I don't know why the others did it, I just did it because I use :p a lot".

Fine, but I'm not using a Team17 smilie. D: all the way, baby.

[SupSuper]

Like this?

[UnKnown X]

Shall we write "PERSON1 AND PERSON2 AND PERSON3 ARE THIEVES!!!!!" in our sigs, with the persons being non-OD members using smiley-avs?

Here's the list as I remember it so far:

PSYKE AND WORMGOD AND WORMOFFIRE AND (KILLERS) AND WEXZUZ ARE THIEVES!!!!!

Add to it when others join (or if I've forgotten some)

[Star Worms]

Also, WormOfFire has stopped using his.

By the way, SupSuper, according to your sig, Huntakilla made the forum smillies. She's AMAZING like that.

[thomasp]

What the heck!

*Jumps on bandwagon*

[Slick]

I say we mix it up now. Everyone turn there smileys upside down. THEN lets see if the theives copy it. Then we can flat out call them "a poser wanna be" in our sigs forever! :eek:

[MadEwokHerd]

Uhm...................no. I like my giant :-/ avatar. I'm keeping it.

[MonkeyforaHead]

I'm two steps ahead of everyone here.

[Pigbuster]

Mine SPINS.

[Slick]

Fine then. I'll take it up a notch!
BAM!

[MadEwokHerd]

No, no, and HELL NO. Actually the spinning is ok, but it only works for that one.

[Pigbuster]

Yes, the animation might just be too cool for school.

[Slick]

My new one was giving me a huge head ach.
soo...BAM. Back.:p

[Star Worms]

I have a good idea for another one. We could all use the red X that IE displays when it can't use the picture. Obviously if only one person does it, it won't work. But if lots of us do it some may actually think the image isn't loading.

[bonz]

I have an even better idea.
Let's use the avatars that came with the original wormnet snooper (ftp://ftp.team17.com/pub/t17/goodies/wa_setupsnooper.exe)!

There are enough of them for everyone.

[thomasp]

I have a good idea for another one. We could all use the red X that IE displays when it can't use the picture. Obviously if only one person does it, it won't work. But if lots of us do it some may actually think the image isn't loading.
Doesn't FireFox use a different symbol if an image can't load?

I know it does on MacOSX, compared to WinIE and Safari.

[Splapp]

Or, we could just all use this thing, but give each OD member a random Non ODer's name to replace the "Splapp". That would confuse them to buggery. For example someone could have "No, Akuryou13 is Brian Blessed" and someone else could have "No, Psyke is Brian Blessed" etc...
26897

Actually, screw that. I prefer the Red X for an image not loading. But...

Doesn't FireFox use a different symbol if an image can't load?
Yes, I believe it does.

[UnKnown X]

So does Opera. In fact, it doesn't use a symbol. It replaces the picture with transparent box displaying the image's Alt property in the HTML code.

[BetongÅsna]

I've got here late, yet again. Can't be helped!

[SupSuper]

Squirminator is WINNER.
By the way, SupSuper, according to your sig, Huntakilla made the forum smillies. She's AMAZING like that.Lol, thanks, I must've left that in my sig ever since I used HK's drawing of my sigworm. Just shows how nobody really pays attention to it :p

[Star Worms]

Doesn't FireFox use a different symbol if an image can't load?

I know it does on MacOSX, compared to WinIE and Safari.
Yes, but anyone who has Firefox isn't likely to fall for the image thing anyway it's generally people with IE who would find it believable.

Ahahaha...
Hey, why not just pic a stupid picture off of somthing that we all agree on, and we ALL have the same avatar.

...and perhaps all have the same location and signature.:p
Now THAT would confuse the hell out of people.

[thomasp]

I reckon in a day or two we should just suddenly change our avatars back to what they were, and see how long it takes for "where did all the smilie avatars go" posts to appear...

[MadEwokHerd]

Then we deny it ever happened, right?

[UnKnown X]

Maybe we could act obsessed for a day or two, for example by changing our avatars to a picture of someone with a blank stare, our locations to "Gone" and signatures to "Everything is good. Everything is fine," and starting to behave unnaturally.

[MonkeyforaHead]

Unnaturally by whose standards?

[Xinos]

Unnaturally by whose standards?

social standards?

[BetongÅsna]

Unnaturally by our own standards would sort of be normal to that lot out there.

Maybe if we act like 60s hippies - keeps dropping expressions like "free love", "heavy" and "groovy", and finish ever post with "peace out"?

[Pigbuster]

I'm a big fan of "okthxbye" myself.
But we've already had an "act-like-a-n00b" thread.

[bonz]

I suggest we do something that contains the letters "O" and "D".
Like "ODed" for location.

[FutureWorm]

Maybe if we act like 60s hippies - keeps dropping expressions like "free love", "heavy" and "groovy", and finish ever post with "peace out"?
That'd be totally groovy, man.

By the way, party at Chris' next week. You bring the bong, I'll bring the booze.

Peace out.

[MonkeyforaHead]

Okay, I'm fed up with the smileys already, I'll just use other avatars upside-down.

[Star Worms]

I'm a big fan of "okthxbye" myself.

it's "kthxbai" if you want to sound like a real noob.

I have something animated now too.

[philby4000]

I'm now less pixelated.

[Paul.Power]

I rather like Munkee's suggestion, to be frank.

[Pigbuster]

I do too.
I also reversed my sig and location line. For bonus confusion.
I had to make a few spaces here and there, though. Otherwise there were ;) and :p everywhere.

[Paul.Power]

I'll do the location line, but I draw the line at sigs. That would be too much like hard work...

[Pigbuster]

Ta-dah.

I have already been thinking about something like that, but since my avatar is already animated...

If the forum could be completely flipped around and inverted on one day, so only OUR avatars are correct.

By the way, my avatr magically has 19kb
Technically doesn't that exceed the limit? o_O

[MonkeyforaHead]

The limit was tightened quite a while ago. First from 20-something to 12, then to its current limit, if I recall. So if you were to change avatars, you wouldn't be able to put that one back up.

[Pickleworm]

One day we could all start using the SAME avatar... that would be bound to mess up MANY.

[FutureWorm]

Aye, it would.

[Plutonic]

sounds like a nice idea

[Pickleworm]

It would probably mess people up even more if the avatar was just text, and said something like "I ENTERED THE VORTEX AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID AVATAR"

[FutureWorm]

What if we all just went avatar-less for a day?

[Paul.Power]

What if we all just went avatar-less for a day?Thinking outside the box!

I like it.

[Plutonic]

or swapped avatars with people: you could have everyone post once in a thread and take the persons avatar that is above you so you get a rotation of wrong avatars.

Hah, that'd be neat.
Too much work, though.

How about we steal avatars.
And put somthing in our sigs like how we made our own avatar....then run amuck in the fanart forum.:p

He did defend Creationism that one time.What I don't quite understand is that I was vehemently opposed to him in that debate, but he still considers himself a fan of me. It might have started when he said he preferred my debating style to Andrew's, presumably on the basis that I try not to get angry in internet debates regardless of how justified the anger is.

I concede that I don't bring up religion/politics in my cartoons, but it still strikes me as odd.

[SupSuper]

Hokay, it appears a few people jumped the gun, so...

Everyone switch back RIGHT NOW.You might also consider updating your sigs :p

[Pigbuster]

Thanks for saying that. I was, but forgot. :p

I think we've finally humbled him just a little bit. My work there is done.

I laughed the whole time I doodled this. Maybe because it is 12 in the morning and I've only had 4 hours of sleep alllllll day. :p

[SupSuper]

I think we've reached a new point with all these fads. People even seem to suspect fads when they're not, so we have caused overall confusion and paranoia for all eternity!

[Zero72]

Mission accomplished!

Edit: I'm not completely satisfied, though. I was hoping it would all end with Aku shooting up into the air and exploding in a gigantic fireball. Oh well, I can dream.

lmfao. This is the best alternate version of Akuryou's comic yet.

This thread's probably only meant for sigfads that relate to us, but I've seen a couple things pop up around here.

Probably some MSN scuffle.
Apart from AK. He's just being fat.

[Splapp]

Yes, I was invited into a conversation on MSN with those people in it by someone, and was kicked out because "I had to be there".

They're obviously talking about some sub-standard 'there' and trying to start some sort of fad... the FOOLS! We should get our own back somehow.

[worMatty]

My god the imploded soap opera that is OD.

[Pigbuster]

How about this...
"SuperBlob, Cisken, and Iguana's "there" doesn't even exist."

[Star Worms]

That sounds a bit lame. I say we ask Sel nicely to let ODers use [img] tags in signatures so we can get revenge:)

[Splapp]

Heh, I agree! :p That'd be great

[Pigbuster]

Yes it would.
He wouldn't do it, though.

[MtlAngelus]

Anything involving Sel doing things that can cause any sort of caos is very very unlikely.:p

[SomePerson]

I say all ODers should get a custom status (the kind under the name that only the user mods still have) that says "was there".

That would sure show them that OUR there is THE there.

[SupSuper]

Taking in account the lot of trouble Sel went through to remove custom status, I doubt he'll put them back just for some silly fad :p

In any case, can't we just quit it? It was fun the first times, now it's just becoming silly. Let them have their fun, we've had ours.

I suppose that they haven't been doing anything that bad, so we can leave it alone.
But if they really start telling people about their fake "there", then we'd have to act.

[Star Worms]

How about we all change our locations to "I was there", or something similar.

[Pigbuster]

I see that you already did.
It's rather simple... and doesn't involve Sel, so that's nice.

[worMatty]

Why do anything? Surely we can find a better use for this forum than make it the nervecenter for rumours and trends.

[Pigbuster]

I'm down with that.

[Paul.Power]

I suppose when all's said and done we are being rather petty and unconstructive about this. I think the fads have served their purpose, i.e. to shake up Fanart a bit, and maybe it's time to scale back a bit.

[FutureWorm]

I'd say so.

By the way, Longcat is Long.

[Pickleworm]

What's the deal with these avatars: http://forum.team17.co.uk/image.php?u=15262&dateline=1144080671

I can't be arsed to look it up, and this event/occurance should be archived in OD anyway.

Edit: oh my god i just said arsed I need to like, go watch NASCAR and drink bud while getting increasingly more and more overweight in self-defense.

[SupSuper]

Apparently the outsiders started their own fad. Though not a very successful one, compared to our own ;)

[Pigbuster]

The "All for" thing has been done before, anyway.
Amateurs.

Joining in on an avatar fad that originated outside of OD.

[Zero72]

...Wouldn't that mean that you weren't there?

[Pickleworm]

"There" or "there"?

"There" is where all the 'official' fads, with intent to confuse the rest of the forum, originate. (OD)

"there" is where annoying sub-fads originate, in attempt to gain fame of some sort. (OO or MSN or some fan forum, I guess)

I was There, but not there. ...Why do we express like/dislike for Reapr in our avatars, anyway? I must have missed the memo.

[Pigbuster]

I think that there was an anti-Reapr thing that happened before.
That still doesn't explain why, though.

It's not "Reaper," though.

[Slick]

Hows about we do somthing like this?

Like someone would put Funny Avatar...or Clever Avatar, ect.
If not, I don't care. Im sticking to this for a bit.

[Squirminator2k]

My avatar is Civilization.

You Reapr what you sow...

<-- Who can Reapr my avatar?

Dude, that's Cisken1, nobody really cares/is surprised.

[Zero72]

It is impressive, though, that he somehow managed to mess it up.

[UnKnown X]

Bandwagoned!

[SupSuper]

I still say we should create a fad so incredibly silly or hard to replicate or something, to see how far the copycats will go :p

[MonkeyforaHead]

When we're done with this (but I really don't have the time to partake, with my current schedule), we could try avatars of fruit that correspond to our favourite colours. Mine would be either eggplant, grapes, or plums. :p

[bonz]

I like that.
The avatars would have to be drawn by the same artist though.
Or from the same set of photgraphs.

[UnKnown X]

How about using elderly soap stars for avatars?

[worMatty]

Nice idea but bad because this is an international board. Maybe characters from 24?
