    I propose that we focus on one member at a time and work our way down the list by join date. Order of precedence would be as follows:

    Philes.....................22 Aug 06
    wobbler..................23 Aug 06
    Grakelin.................01 Aug 07
    wayne-scales..........02 Aug 07
    TheDavisChanger....06 Feb 09
    Yuki.......................28 Feb 09
    ytzk.......................30 Sep 10

    Alternately, we could continue to wander willy-nilly all over the place until the thread derails and eventually dies.

    If someone likes Philes, are they a Philesophile?

    Why not? One by one is actually much better. Otherwise, it becomes a bit confusing. And you can better focus on what you want to give. IF I still get one. Just give me Borat and 'Lost in Translation'. I find that extreme funny.

    Showing appreciation of a proposal for your own avatar is the surest way to prevent it ever being realised. You'll never get that picture now. If you really wanted it you should have protested loudly that it was a bad choice because you didn't understand how the image had any relevance to you.

    Unless... you're using reverse psychology... because you really don't like it. Hmm... could it be that Arthgon has outwitted us all?

    No, I guess not.

    If we're dealing with people in sequential order, my suggestion for Philes' title based off:

    Is "Chairman of the Arcanum Unfinishers Society", although Muro's Unfinisher Extraordinare is also fitting.

    This thread will continue to dither around until:

    A: Somebody with admin access decrees a selected avatar/slogan choice, and

    B: Somebody edits avatars from full size pictures

    You'll recall that during zanza's thread much amusement was had from people photoshopping hands into/out of pictures. You have to make it easy for DE/DF as they are lazy. Much like myself.

    I've been going as "Philes" for like 15+ years now online, and for some surprising reason that joke has never been made before. Made me giggle. PedoPHILES jokes, on the other hand, are quite frequent.

    Japes, delete that date list before people realize wayne-scales and I are the same person.

    WTS? wayne-scales has been here longer than I have?

    I may need the 2k posts to settle on a personality.

    Because you're unsure of who you are until 2K posts? Sorry, just played with your wording.

    It's rare for someone to be given the custom at 1000. Nearly everyone who's gotten one within the past 6 years had over 2000 anyway - so raising the bar is moot. 1000 is a reasonable minimum.

    I've been given three custom avatars so far. I can only conclude that I'm three times better than any of you.

    If true, that would technically make you infinitely better than most of us.

    I had one, but that was only so DF could make a point against Smuel.

    It felt dirty.

    It's all about keeping them.

    I agree, it gets my vote. Even if Arthgon doesn't get the Borat avatar anyone who reads that title will know where it's from anyway.

    For Philes:

    Perhaps I can help you with that hump.

    Or, you know, any other picture of Gene Wilder in that movie that wasn't drawn and available for sale on Etsy.

    I am for the Swedsian meatball for Yuki. Also Doctor Frankenstein is a good choice for Philes.

    Smuel: Okay. Should I rather say this? No. I will not. I do not want this avatar. It's worse than many others. Choose something else. Better?

    Of course I understand what is meant by 'Lost in Translation ". Because it is sometimes unclear what I mean to say. And of course I understand the other title too.

    Borat? It is rather amusing that people are comparing me with him.

    Besides, Wolbane was also pleased with his avatar. Everywhere there was "spam" on his Avvy.
