Sion

so, there I was, poised at around 230 posts, almost ready to get my own avatar. And what happens? the hard drives get wiped out, Halx has to spend untold numbers of hours rebuilding the site, and I have to start all over in my quest for an avatar.

Actually Sion, its a huge conspiracy against you to not allow you to have an avatar. So expect the hardrives to "fail" once again when you are on the brink.

LOL! I think of this as an opportunity to make up a new avatar. It forces me to change.

Awesome Wile E!! Sion, I was at 245 the last time I checked. I too, was very close. Oh well.

Don't worry about post count or avatars or whatever. It's what you put into your posts that counts, not the number.

My biggest regret was losing some of my posts without backing them up. Alot of people put there hearts and and soul into some posts.

Ah well. The intention and feeling remains even if the posts are history.

Sion its all your fault ...

This is the attitude that more memebers should have. Avatars are great as ways of self expression, but they are not the only avenue. Get involved, make friends.. get known. Your words have waay more weight here than pictures. Plus.. it loads much better for our non broadband members.

Quality..not Quantity,

plus.. if you spam the boards..we'll take you down a peg..or three

Ratman

I usually turn off avatars. Some are truly sick and wrong, some are fun, but most are a distraction to the true meaning of the TFP, which is what you write.

merkerguitars

Well, it definitely gives everyone incentive to post more so they can get back up somewhere in the neighborhood of where they were.

phoenix1002

Eh, if you really want an avatar that badly, cut out a picture and use a gluestick to paste it to your moniter . I was kinda almost there... but oh well. I agree with Lebell--the avatar doesn't mean much... it's what you write.

Yeah, I had a lot of post count, myself. But what upset me the most was my "record" reply count on two of my posts in the titty board. I had the top two (by reply counts) and they just kept staying on the front page. Now I don't even remember where I got them from, so I can't regenerate that ...

I had a bunch of posts (1100), but I never put up an Avatar. Then I finally found one I liked and put it up. Then the sites CRaSheS. I think it was my fault the site crashed. Maybe the drive got scared when I actually figured out which Avatar I wanted and how to uplaod it. Sorry Halx.

It makes things a little less intimidating. In any event, it is nice to have the site back up. I really missed this place.

I only had about 50, so it's all Crumb cake to me

I kinda like the fact that it all crashed, It's like on Fight Club where they destroyed the Credit Card Companies to set everyone back to Square one.
