**You can now select your own avatar**

You have to obtain our coolness level, and that's nearly impossible. ;) :laughing-



Thanks Matty I like the new aviator setup. :biggthump

Yes the "aviator" setup is fantastic.

dont make fun of my s

actually maybe you should make my avator an "s" now that im famous

Thanks for switching the avatars, I was beginning to develop an insecurity about having a picture of guy with a yellow condom on his head as my visual representation. Is there any chance in the late future we can upload disaterous Skins for comedic purposes? For example, could I have Jeff George? Or imagine if someone poses a link to a falsified article about the Skins; you could then place M. Westbrook as his avatar.

HAHA yeah! It'd be like the "you are a jackass" award!

Congratulations, you're now George Edwards!

or

Congratulations, you're Gus Ferrotte! (pictured with neckbrace)

Matty, i have to say at first i was very concerned. One of my favorite things about this site was your clever ranking system that both cleaned up the site and gave incentive for people to post. in the world of forums (especially Skins ones), your method was rare and quite original.

people seem to like the options though, so may i make a suggestion?

how about limiting the options per rank? so a camp scrub would only be able to select a relative few (like say between first year players) and as you grow in post ranks you could select more?

that why you could keep the options, and the benefits of posting. making the options tie into their rank, like the previous camp scrub example, would sweeten it even more.

what do you think? I got very used to seeing Gibbs only under the mods over the years, and it's strange seeing scrubs with them now.

oh and we need Breaux, Bugle, Williams and the rest of the coaching staff for the big posters!

I guess I'll chime in on this deal. I do personally like the fact that "I" can now choose my avatar but dislike that others can choose theirs also. That's right I am selfish bastard in this regard. I agree mostly with illdefined when it comes to this. I like that there was a ranking type system that awarded long time members and motivated everyone to post. Sorta made me think that those of us with a half decent amount of posts got a little head start in the respect department which always makes you feel good. I do like the array of choices for the avatars though and as long as they remain universally sized and formatted I am cool. Just don't screw with the look of the site. This is the cleanest and most attractive forum I go to and a bunch of screwy sigs and avatars will change that in a hurry.

The main thing is keeping them sized and formatted as FRPLG says. And I also kinda like illdefined's suggestion about rank--but whatever.

I trust you in this one Matty--as everyone says, this is the cleanest, easiest to read and navigate site out there.

Kinda surprised no one selected Tupa yet, btw.
