    I think the time has come to take a vote on giving DarkFool a custom avatar. While I am fully aware of his history of spamming, he seems to be completely reformed and is showing some level of maturity; And while he does still have occasional moments of idiocy, a penchant for stepping on his own dick, and an annoying habit of using invented contractions, he's not so bad. At least, not compared to some.

    Before the voting commences, a couple reminders:
    1. Only senior members in good standing are allowed a vote. Newbies need not comment.
    2. DarkFool, you would do well to keep your thoughts to yourself at this point.

    So the motion has been made. Is there a second?

    Hell, it's about time the old wanker got what's coming for him. I will need some time to figure out a fitting rank and title though.

    Time to convene again? I remember in the old days when we'd go years at a time before pulling someone up from the muck and reek below.

    I'll back this one, but it should probably be the last one for a while we have more custom avatar holders than not amongst the regulars these days.

    That's probably an effect of Troika ceasing to deliver new games as of late, leaving the diehards at this place while the rest of the world gets hooked on the braindead FPS bandwagon.

    Anyway, from memory, these are the alts Darkfool has used on this forum (and I'm sure there are several I have forgotten). Might serve as a source of inspiration.

    Matt_Thorn

    Silvio_Arjunza

    Spamminister

    Darkchylde

    Twillight's Hammer

    Twilight's Hammer and Silvio_Arjunza are the only ones I remember actually paying attention to, although Matt_Thorn was by far the most hated.

    Thinking back on how Silvio used to act and given tta his name is now DarkFool I think his avatar needs to be a jester.

    Given the fact that Darkfool looks rather like Alfred E. Neuman, that would be ideal.

    A crucified Neuman wearing the crown of thorns, with the title being "The Thorn in your side".

    ... well, maybe.

    There was also SilverKing, though I don't think I ever utilized that account. Also Matt_thorn/Silvio Arjunza were the same account. I put in a request for the account to be re-named as I was converting from M_T to S_A. I'll be quiet now.

    That's actually pretty good work, Japes.

    WHY AM I POSTING I'M NOT IN YOUR "COUNCIL?"

    This quote only supports the arguments from newly-registered people with a total of seven posts claiming that this place is a circle-jerk full of xenophobic assholes.

    You still have people like me that give you a slight boner whenever log in and post and see my non-custom avatar. Cling to that hope! And not your boner!

    Somehow, I don't associate DarkFool with Alfred E. Neuman. Maybe it's just me.

    Are there still any dedicated Photoshop/Gimpmonkeys in this congregation?

    Well, at this point, my vote goes to my suggestion, but that's subject to change if anyone comes up with something better. I suppose we could ask DarkFool what he would like, so we can laugh at him and say no.

    So what about it DF, got any bright ideas?
