Schad from in the thread. It does seem like a dubious claim that a 2003 reg date was unaware of goatse

when i bought this custom title way back in the depths of time that was going to be the joke - it would flash to goatse for one frame every 30 seconds or something (animated gifs were still an exciting novelty) but I can't remember if I couldn't get it to work or if someone told me no anyway that's my story

tried to look at your old avatars, but yours is too old for that even:
https://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/customtitles/title-gasmask.jpg

with newer avatars (not sure when they changed over, but i wanna say before 2010), you can find the previous ones by changing the last number and extension (the first number is your userid, the second is just a sequence, which is only valid for that filetype, so you cant really sort them --- ie the third jpg might be older than the first png)

these are mine:
JPG: https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/fe/03/00085617.0001.jpg (goes up to .0003.jpg)
PNG: https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/fe/03/00085617.0001.png (goes up to 4)

but yeah, yours is old as balls, so i cant find a gif version of it :(

What're you using for looking up old avatars? I've not had luck with SAARS.

if someone just sends you an NFT, could you just transfer everything else out of that wallet? maybe put a trojan NFT in your own wallet and click on the one they sent you, giving it to them?

I guess if you're dumb enough to pay 300 grand on a link to a URL, you're dumb enough to click a random link in an email promising untold crypo riches.

I've read that the bulk of NFTs are actually being bought and sold by the same entities or groups to create the perception of a market and these individuals are just rubes.

I'm on board with the idea that all these recent celebrity NFT purchases are nothing more than a marketing stunt. There's just no way Paris Hilton is engaging with any of this.

It's all a literal grift farm.

I presume they bought it for like a few thousand bucks, having been convinced by a grifter that it's worth 300k.

Has anyone made NFTs of national bridges yet, cause I think that would be kind of a cultured joke

Welp, apparently Amazon lost a bunch of player's characters in their new game Lost Ark.



Characters are missing, but people are unable to create new characters on the same server because the game detects they already have a character there.

These NFT guys should watch Beanie Mania, the documentary about beanie babies. The NFT buyers are basically the same as these bored suburb moms who ended up writing "rap songs" about beanie babies while bankrupting themselves on eBay buying 1000 Chad the crab or whatever bean bag animals that were supposed to millionify in value.

"The Triganic Pu is a unit of galactic currency, with an exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu. This is simple enough, but, since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change."
