Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Maybe you can get a lock program like some YOBbers have on their sigs.

thank you so much to nesamdoom for the scurry fall sig!

iirc both chewbecca and scifi downbeat have been victims of avdentity theft. i am not sure what they did.

that is why i have chosen a glaringly ugly av. no one would dare steal it. this strategy is also why i drive a 1986 ford escort with an airbrushed portrait of gary busey on the hood.

It's true! Mine got stolen by an fyad (they edited it slightly) but I got it drawn for me by a BYOB like a decade ago. It was still html when GaG went to change it! This chewbecca imposter had even posted in BYOB and requested a spooky avatar which someone made for them!!!!

In terms of what I did? I whined a little, uhh not much else that's it

Chewbecca fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Oct 7, 2020

Ive had this avatar since early in Obama's first term at least, possibly late Bush even.

i wish i was cool enough that a fyad would steal it, this guy's from TV IV

edit: hey chewbecca weren't you a mod for like 3 hours once but by the time you logged in you had already been demodded?

# ? Oct 7, 2020 22:11

Chewbecca: Just chillin' : )

The fact I posted here and people thought I was them, that irked me so much ngl lol

I feel like it was given to them as a troll but idk

I've had mine for over a decade too and it was custom art so =\

As to what you should do.... I wouldn't worry about it?

Gross Dude: Gross Dude

Here's my a avidentity story. My original purple bay avatar was drawn by planimal in an avatar thread. I asked his permission and he said yeah I could have it. But, it turns out someone else had already taken the avatar without saying anything. Pretty cool story, huh?

# ? Oct 7, 2020 22:14

Diorama: i remember when all this was fields

but as I said chewbecca it's rightfully yours and if you wanted to claim it for this year's spooktacular avatar parade it would be coming into your own

I don't think the imposter ever used it, so it would be coming into your own, the good vibes that went into it belong to u

You didn't know friend! Why someone would steal me av I don't know though :confuoot:

I mean, it's a good av but it's not very fyad

I think I'd prefer a Halloween av all my own, if that's okay. That person makes me feel a bit bleugh. What if they're making fun of me :smith:

I think they were just jealous but that's okay, you deserve an av of your own

I think also it had nothing to do with you, it was some weird trolling stratagem of trying to pick a "byob" avatar to . . . uh, make byob people (me) do pointless work, haha, the humor element is obvious.

Well it's a beautiful av my friend, just an unfortunate circumstance. And it proved nothing!
