People use it to post stuff with the idea that other people will see it and respond to it. It's decentralized, but it still seems like a message board to me.

I meant that instead of discussions being categorized or "centered" on specific boards, or in specific threads, every tweet can become a discussion thread about anything.

and so thought I should finally buy an avatar, and get rid of the one I've had since I joined, which was a text-based scientology reference one (which was the style at the time).

Has anyone else gone longer without an avatar change

yeah I can think of two truck-specific forums that are 100k more users / 2-3x as many active users on SA, with threads and archives as old as these forums.

What was that saying 'look around when you're 25 because those are all your friends for life?' something like that, but for dead gay forums

Or do you mean look up your avatar history?

That's here: https://goons.neocities.org/?av=https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/bc/a2/00032656.0001.jpg&name=Earwicker

yeah i meant the latter lol i know where my own avatar is from

thank you for the link, but that is definitely an incomplete history. when i first registered in 2003 i had a caravaggio avatar, and then something from the voynich manuscript.

edit: oh nevermind there's a different menu i wasnt seeing. i had a lot more avatars i forgot!

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
I realized I haven't spent any money on avs for myself or others lately

sorry if I hosed this up for you but I was curious what stablediffusion would do with "jammaster jay in the flash costume, DC comics style" and I was not unhappy with the results, hopefully you also enjoy them :shrug:

We have determined then, that the cutoff date for Real OG is somewhere between 8/17/04 and 8/25/04 :hai:

that avatar history thing is cool, I thought my animated skinny puppy and python pipe avs were lost forever



I think I had this for a while from losing a bet?

Also had the stupid newbie avatar for at least a decade and a half. I think at somepoint some mod changed all the stupid newbies avatar to this? I think. I have no idea actually.

Ive bought a lot of avatars. They support the forums and its a good way to give someone the posting equivalent of those license plates drunk drivers get.

Mostly it was to righteously cyberbully a handful of terrible posters over and over and over again. Sometimes as a gift.

And one time i gave one to a person who shat up my thread about teeth. He didnt really deserve it, though.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.
