Almost. Yep, almost had every member currently on line displaying an avatar. One of these days it'll happen.
that one non picture avatar guy......... Well it is time to redistribute pictures of detergent box or women eating salad again.......
I realize the problem is not the signed members. They are the guests. Their number on average is 3 times of the logged members. Well, we can not enforce them to use avatar, can we?
No, it's the actual members. Non-registered guests won't even show. I Googled that one member's screen name and assigned what I thought was a fitting image (as I often do to amuse myself - check out Sinister Raccoon and Bigpuff for examples) but by the time I had edited their avatar and returned to the main page there were a few other members online without avatars. Just to be clear: if you have installed an avatar image in your profile we won't mess with it. If yours is still blank and we catch you online, you're fair game. ….. and yes, there are a few members that have even contributed that we've cut some slack but the grace period is almost over.
You know, some of the guys actually like their assigned avatars courtesy of The Google. Heman and hotdog publicly said so, and both even liked their custom titles. Granted, these were 2" tap in putts but you take what you're given.
I don't know if you can do it. I think only one of the moderators can, and they're given out when earned. For instance, Stephen / AuBuyer made a joke about a comment by Warren / SpikiSpikester in this exchange: http://omegaforums.net/threads/protecting-myself-on-ebay.4729/#post-55198 … which merited an immediate assignment that you can see for yourself next to his screen name. Marc / MMMD inadvertently primed the pump for his own in this post: http://omegaforums.net/threads/film-compax-a-mystery-solved.3587/#post-41584 Really, you guys have no idea how much I give myself the giggles by doing silly things like this.
Dennis has powers far beyond those of mortal moderators. Yes, I know, it's like having the fox guard the hen house or the Croc watch the koalas, or one of those other old Australian sayings.
Aw man! I saw one lone member without an avatar, asked the Google for help with an image, and installed it as their avatar picture. In the 2 minutes that took, more avatarless members logged on. It's just not gonna happen, is it?
