    That's very true, but you got a pretty nice avatar out of it.

    For Grakelin, I think a Richard Dean Anderson one would be appropriate, but perhaps that's from growing accustomed to RDA's face whenever Grakelin posts.

    However, a slogan to go with it might be more difficult, though that's possibly due to Grakelin's odor being so subtle it's overwhelmed by nearby smells.

    Yes, yes, all good points. It's difficult to contribute without ample source material, of which there has been less and less.
    IN YOUR FUCKING FACE, DARKFOOL!

    I don't recall many of the long time forumers still active since I've been here getting custom avatars before 2000 posts in the first place. If that's the case, and a regular's personality can be well defined at 1000, I'm not sure what raising the bar will do - especially for the reasons Japes had mentioned.

    From what I've seen of the forum's history as maintained in the server containing it, it's indeed a less interesting place now than it was even 6 years ago, and most assuredly less than it was before then. There's no reason not to give those willing to post on at least 1000 separate occasions in this time an avatar.

    Especially philes, who's been here only 6 months less than I have, and has posted nearly 1/6th as much as me. That's more quality than quantity, I'd think - and I too think he should have the Frederick Frankenstein avatar. For one? It suits him, and for another? He's a doctor.

    Challenge for DarkFool:
    1) Make a new HWLFP alias.
    2) Make 1,000 posts.
    3) Try and wrangle a custom avatar without actually asking for one.

    'My smell is impeccable, even when it is bad.'

    Yuki is a maniac?

    *polite cough*

    At this point I'd like to call attention to myself by agreeing with what everyone has said so far.

    I am in no way suggesting an avatar for myself, because that would be wrong, especially not a cool one of a many-armed hindu god.

    So yeah, I agree with everyone.

    I like the Borat avy though, but I thought that the cave man from the movie Battle Earth or something was to become my avy?

    Just an avatar idea. Why? That is because I am from the Netherlands. Yes. The country, where almost everything is legal.

    [1] Here's a vote against Arthgon getting a custom.



    [2] Philes. Frederick Frankenstein is quite fitting, yes.

    Forgetting about that for a moment, there is something I simply can't not share. For reasons not fully comprehended by yours truly, whenever Philes posts I picture Dr Zalost from 'Courage the Cowardly Dog' in my head. Therefore, that's what I propose as an avie.

    [​IMG]

    The title: I'll refer to Philes' well known successes at beating the crap out of Arcanum and propose Unfinisher Extraordinaire.



    [3] As for Yuki, she probably hoped I forgot but o-hoho-ho, no. Swedish Meatball for the win.

    [​IMG]

    Alternatively, one of these.

    As fitting as I think the Borat avatar would be, I also have to vote no, since Arthgon still hasn't managed to wrap his brain around the basic customs and courtesies of the avatar system. I'm also irritated by the fact that he has been a member here for over four years and is still using a translator. If you want to be part of an English-speaking community, LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

    Moving on.

    Still on the table are Wobbler, Philes, wayne, Yuki, Grakelin and ytzk.

    If we're voting, I vote twice for the Borat avatar for Arthgon - once in my name, and once in ytzk's.

    Seriously though, that is nothing short of absolutely brilliant; now that it's been suggested and is in my head, I'm honestly almost offended by the fact that that's not his avatar every time I actually read one of his posts.

    I kind of like Arthgon as Sulik. I envision Sulik as saying those posts.

    For the first six months, I thought that was Arthgon's customised avatar, it is eminently suitable.

    As a title I propose, "Lost in translation."

    Geez, by the time any of this gets decided, I'm going to be eligible for one too.

    Though since "eligible" is effectively defined as "when people feel like giving you one", perhaps not.

    "When people feels like giving you one" is definetly the standard.

    Do you feel like giving me one, Wolfsbane? Oooh... I'm so ready for you... give it to me right now, you big beautiful boy.

    The frequency with which that video gets posted on this forum leads me to suspect that there is a higher than average incidence of homosexuality in this area.

    "In this area" as in "in and around wobbler's place of residence." Quite clearly.

    Actually, I was thinking more "in and around his genital area".

    Jungle Japes: Yes. Yes. I know. I have no got any say in it. But. This is really new for me. Because, I never thought, and expected that I would get one. That is why I respond like this. Sorry.

    Excuse me? I never said that I always use Google translate. Only very occasionally if I was not sure how I could best build a sentence. Therefore, it is sometimes wrong. Yes. That means that I never actually used it for a whole four years. Besides, I'm not the only one who uses it. Frigo and/or Xz use(d) it as well.

    But. I learned much from you all. Yes. if you compare it what it used to be, it is much better now. Thanks to you all.

    I misread that the first time. I really thought that it said "in and out his back area". Oops.

    Edit: What is with the avvy for Yuki? At this moment I can not recognize it.

    Edit1: You know. Just give me what best suits me.
