For next round, may I suggest "characters from Honey Boo Boo"?
Please no! I'd rather see cute cat videos. 馃槣
Bill has a point. While I appreciate the suggestion Roger, we want something that will make other members laugh - not make them nauseous! 馃槣
Which segueys nicely into 'cats covered in styrofoam'.
That's a question for the Architect - @Trev, are you able to do this? Or can we keep having fun with screwy avatars?
Forcing new members to choose an avatar might "scare away" those rare characters who come here asking for advice on some inherited watch - that would be a shame.

Ooooo, sarcasm. 馃憤 You forgot to surround your text with [sarcasm] and [/sarcasm] so we could tell by the font you were being facetious. 馃槈
It might also "scare away" the less genuine one-post-wonders who come here asking for advice on their "uncle's heirloom" and then are never seen again. This is a permissive forum with very few rules, one of which is that you need to have an avatar. The quality of content on here seems to be far greater than most watch forums and this is a very small price to pay.
Leave them alone. I like having the occasional flare-up against them. There was even one who came back with "Thanks for the warm welcome. It was my father's pride and joy" or words to that effect. After 30 odd years in the building industry, I'm just gnarled and cynical. I don't do guilt/remorse and sympathy is something in the dictionary; somewhere between sh1t and syphilis.
That's why Dennis awarded me the "Honarary NJ Resident" tag that I consider a badge of honour.
