heh... considering the subject matter of my avitar, the chances of me ever having an explicit avitar are slim to none with none in the lead. i feel they are a member's right to express themselves within the realm of reason. as long as they follow those ideals, avitars can be whatever they choose and i'll be fine with them.

What Phred isn't telling everyone - he isn't wearing any pants!

You pick an avatar for a reason - it's everyone else's job to determine what it means to them, good or bad. If you are offended turn off the avatars and then continue your TFP experience.

Funny! I think eww every time I see the guys and the watermelon. Such sad, sad little guys. When you are down to sex with a watermelon, and you have to share it with a friend, you have hit rock bottom.

wow, uhmmm i didnt know this would be taken this far.

i really do have alot of work to do, so yes i really am only on tfp during break times.

Anyways... this really only needed one reply saying you can simply just turn them off. But this is a society where everyone shares there opinion even if 98% of them are all the same

this is a bulletin board. discussion is the nature of the beast. especially when you put your thread in the "general discussion" board

two lessons have now been learned.

1. put your threads in the appropriate boards to get the desired results.

2. people can and will discuss their opinions about things, even if that opinion has already been voiced once, because people like adding a voice of agreement or dissent; people like to be heard.


and now, back to the discussion of avitars and watermelons and gaping pussies.

I rather enjoy seeing peoples avatars. Sometimes I see an avatar and wonder "What the hell is that!" or "Where the heck did that come from!" Some people are very creative with their avatars. Hmm, I need to look for one myself.

As of now, it's better than two to one for XXX avatars.

Suits me fine, I'm at work and have them turned off.
When the boss leaves, I'll turn them on again.

TFP would be boring without looking at Dax's avatar.

I like to read TFP while working because I've got several database updates running at once and it gets boring while waiting.

I've turned off the signatures (permanently) because I found myself reading and rereading signatures and it was driving me crazy.

I know mine is pretty explicit, but it doesnt fit the options in the poll

i realized a little while ago that there is always going to be a naked avatar on TFP, i could either turn them off or just not worry about it.

i just don't worry about it

EDIT: secretmethod's av is awesome, that why avatars are soo cool

hunnychile

Oh let's just lube up and lean into it.

The avatars are art
and
art is beyond "rating".

If it offends then go visit Oprah's site.

N'uff said?

to me avatars are kinda like a small mirror reflection of a person -- except that unlike an actual mirror image each person gets to chose that tiny reflection of themself that they want all the board to see.

hmm. i don't think i'll say anything more about this.

I don't like the XXX avs really, I think they're pointless. My av is pointless too, but the XXX ones are even more so :P
I think it's quite distasteful in all honesty, but I'm not having a go at anyone who has got one, if they want to represent themselves in such a way I'm not going to complain or think any worse of them.

Freedom to the people, baby. If they can't get enough breasts at the Titty Board, then let them get an extra dose of boobs everytime they post.
