As everyone can see, Omeg@007 is up & running with his avatar after a little cropping job. His avatar message was completely obvious as well. 馃槈

Cheers Admin. My Watch says hi and thanks you for adding it to Avatar 馃榿

Whoever picked my avatar and tag line, thank you!
That's indeed one of the references in my name.
Now I really need to introduce myself formally. A job for this weekend.

I put you guys & gals on notice back in September that this was coming (see page 18):



There will be several in a short while. 馃榿

You're quite welcome! I literally just did that. Once I saw that screen name, it was obvious what I needed to do.

PS - giving out any "promotional" samples? 馃榿

My self-imposed rule about installing avatars is to never do a freshly joined member..... but rules are made to be broken, and this was just impossible to pass up:

There's precedent for this kind of avatar:



They take a little longer than simply slapping in a FOR RENT sign, but a mod's gotta do what a mod's gotta do. 馃槈

I was going through the pages when al of a sudden this nice bottle appears at the bottom. Nice surprise.
Sorry about the lack of promotional samples, I'll see what I can do

More AssholeCat avatars have been deployed.

This one was a gimme - 3 year member, no avatar, and a screen name like that was simply begging for this treatment:

What if the DE was for Germany? ... I guess that'd be more incentive to change it.

I think this is more of a question about an availability of a user name versus an avatar..

Well, OmegaDE would either have to move from Germany to Delaware or bribe me to correct it. 馃槣

I don't pick the user name. The member does when they join, and I have no power to change that. I just give what I feel is a suitable avatar picture and/or message according to their screen name or something they did on the forum.

Another member that should thank me for being generous:

There I was, chugging along installing FOR RENT avatar pictures, when I ran across this member:



This might have been the absolute, for sure, most must-do avatar picture / custom message combo to date.

A couple more AssholeCats have been installed, several FOR RENT avatars have been deployed, and this screen name caught my eye.

Just wanted to give a shout out to @rugbymatt for installing his own avatar:



Even though finding & installing your old assigned avatar was fun, it's good to see members putting in their own pictures.

Looks like we'll have lots of ? avatars from now on as the fun is over. People would go out of their way to complain instead of take a whole 10 seconds to actually put their own picture in, and the Sheriff has retired.

A big thank you to @RolexDaytona for installing his own avatar! 馃憤 ::psy::

And a hearty BOOOOOOOO!!!! to @henke and @JWL88 for removing their assigned one and not installing a replacement. 馃憥 馃お

Oh man, giving the finger to the squirrel doesn't seem like a wise move @henke and @JWL88. A squirrel that's been kicked in the nuts has been known to bite back! 馃お
