How the hell does the avatar stuff work! Mine is 100 x 100 pixel and 4 KB big, but still neither the upload from my machine nor from an URL is working. :x
Does anybody know?
Doesn't work for me either. I think Zak knows.
At the moment only Link to off-site Avatar is working. So, you must to upload picture into your site, and then use a link to it.
P.S. Don't use larger than 80x80 image. E.g., my avatar's dimensions are 70x70, and it looks just fine :wink:
yes limit the size and dimensions of the pic
Do you like mine?? :lol: :shock:
hey i can see the string now
And my simple avatar???
it sounds like a cheap flag
Pengu Power!!!! :)
Coming soon...
My new avatar: a Ram?n Valdez Avatar Style....

I like the new avatar of Alan Rotoi very much. That girl is just so cute!!! :)
I do not like that girl. She's blonde and too girlish... naaa...
Yes it's the usual dream girl for 15 year old boys
Yep, blonde :( ... i don't like blonde girls... But she is very girlish and I like that!!!
Quote from: "Akoss Poo"I like the new avatar of Alan Rotoi very much. That girl is just so cute!!! :)
Thanks!! It's a draw by me. She's a role game character of mine in Vampire, The Masquerade. ;) The manga style, the clothes and the colors shows (more or less) her personality.
Hey, Rotoi's Avatar, D'you have a telephone... D'you want to go to Curitiba...
Now this avatar is the same character but drawed by a girl, friend of mine. She's 15 years old and she lives relative near from me. ;) She drawed it and dedicated :)

Is it written in your t-shirt the word "Venus"? :shock: :shock:
No, it's "Vicious". On the backside there's probably "Skid" :)
It says "Venus" it's the logo of the porno channel "Venus TV". That's why I " :shock: "
I wanted to put some avatar :mrgreen: . I have tried it, but the image does not appear. What I have to do :?:
Best way is to link it from another url.
If you have the possibility, upload the image you want on your url and link it from your profile.
Remember that you have size limitations for your image.
Yeah, look at the size of the images ;)
What about my Rei Ayanami avatar? Isn't she the best anime/manga character??
Thank you for the information ,and thanx to Zak too :)

Where did you take this picture? I guess it wasn't in Nyugati pu. :lol:
Neither in D?li pu. :P But that's not surprising: I think it's not easy to play chess in smell of shit. That would be worse than taking a language exam in the provinces. :wink:
Great avatar - Usrin in 50 years :P
But what happened to Bonzai Joe's avatar, it seems to be broken? Or offline?
I hope I'll never be so fat and ugly, and I'll never play chess at Keleti pu.! :)
CTG what is in your new avatar picture? I can't find it out...
NAZ
Quote from: "CTG"NAZ
And what is NAZ?
The Prince NAZ.
Quote from: "CTG"The Prince NAZ.
And who the skid is "The Prince NAZ"?
Jemen warrior. You aren't in top shape mentally, I guess. :D
I strongly suggest you to change your avatar CTG, at least before Alain sees it.
Why ?
Because "NAZE" (same prononciation as "NAZ" in French) means either "useless" or "tired" in French.
When talking about yourself "je suis naze" (i am "naze") = I am tired.
When talking about someone else, it can also mean "tired", but it often mean "useless".
Be sure Alain will now call you "le gros naze" which is common familiar expression in French to talk about someone stupid, useless and with no interest. In english, you can translate "le gros naze" by "the useless big guy".
Enjoy the compliment CTG. :-D
Thanks for giving tips to Alain. :-D
PRINCE NASEEM HAMED
Hometown Sheffield, England
Birthplace Sheffield, England
Division Featherweight
Date of Birth 1974-02-12
Reach 64?
Stance Southpaw
Height 5' 4?
W 36 (31 KO's) | L 1 | D 0 | Total 37
Best hitman of the division, it's quite unusual to have 80% KO rate in that weight. He's an undisputed champion in my eyes. Let's hope he can take a revenge on Barrera soon.
Quote from: "CTG"Thanks for giving tips to Alain. :-D
He was a former teammate of mine and he is the only other French active pipsqueak. So I give him some advices sometimes. :P :-D
I don't care and I'm not really at home in such violent sports...

Krys: that girl wasn't ugly! She was really beautiful! :)
Krys, your avatar is great. Unfortunately, everytime I tried to change my avatar, a big 'X' appeared, so I decided not to do it anymore.

Thanks. Here it is to be remembered in case I change it again.

CTG told someday that I know a song for every occasion. That's true, here is the song appropriated to Lised's new avatar (nice eye) :
"1-2-3-4
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
Heavenly bound cos heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour
Her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look
She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look
Fire in the ice, naked to the T-bone
Is a lover's disguise, banging on the head drum
Shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look
Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer
She's a miracle man, loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look
She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
And she goes....
Na na na na na......
She's got the look"
(c) Roxette (one of the best pop bands of the 80's)
See the official video clip here => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9A00K8UdWw
And then you do your own clip it like that with a friend of yours => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0xaZSDSYOY
If you prefer Manga, here is your video clip of the same song : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv-jq9TI1jU
Or maybe these two videos, inspired by Final Fantasy games and Roxette : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqX_3b16Xn0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLG4x2D2pr0

Only if you consider 20 years ago as prehistoric age, which is wrong as "pre-history" has been replaced by "history" when writing has been invented, that is around 3000 years before JC or so. :P
It was just a silly insult. There's nothing to do with science.

I forgot to tell you that in my avatar, you can see the piercing of my exgirlfriend. Disgusting, isn't it? Now you can imagine how horrendously I felt when I saw this crappy jewel for the first time, when I wanted to take her top off...

Hoegaarden is a good beer. In France it is considered one of the few "white beers". Most common beers are considered "blonde" (Heineken, ...) or "brown" (Guinness...).

You guessed right! That is the (Japanese) kanji ?, read "ka", which has the general meaning of transformation - as in ??, read as "kagaku", the Japanese word for Chemistry... ;)
Anyway, this is still in test mode. It needs some Photoshop (or, actually, GIMP) work if it is to stay...
It's hua in Chinese (altough the horizontal cross-stroke should be a bit longer), and means change, while huaxue means the wisdom of change = chemistry. Yep, Chinese and Japanese are quite similar ;)

With marginally more accuracy, Japanese is quite similar to Chinese... ;) BTW Chulk, Korean is different - and quite funny when you find out all those dots, strokes and circles actually compose an alphabet!
I examined the Korean alphabet some days ago because of my new wallpaper on my laptop, and their alphabet might be the most interesting and practical in the world in my opinion.
Speaking of the wallpaper, I'll post it to the wallpapers topic :)

New one (thanks to DStien for his work, and to Duplode too) is the racing truck. ;D
I'll attach my old avatar later on too - the whole "historical" concept of this thread is cool (and so is Krys' new avatar ;))
Anyway, hints on my new one:
1. It's an excerpt of a (great) rock album's cover;
2. The title of the album is actually a visual double entendere, partly displayed on the avatar;
3. There's a strong clue in my JACStunts profile...

Well, out of curiosity I even managed to locate a live performance at YouTube, but sadly the quality of that particular TV record didn't make much justice to the song. I do not know that much about "Yes", but the classics of course speak directly to the progressive side of my musical soul...

And if you don't know much about "Yes", maybe my next tracks could permit you to discover something special... really special... absolutely special...

Wow, "Yours is no disgrace"! It seems you have begun to listen the YES almost starting from their origin. If I remember, this song is part of "The Yes Album", third album of their career (1971, if I'm not wrong). It's really great. I like so much many songs of it, and particularly the final of "Starship trooper". What I appreciate so much is the multifomity of styles and rithms that YES succeed to put in an album and, above all, in a single song. Even if "songs" maybe it's not the correct term talking about YES. I prefer call them compositions. "Your is no disgrace" is one of the first example (you can find some of them in the previous two very first album, with some pieces really fantastic), but afterward they reach more and more higher levels. An album I like really so much is the next one, Fragile (1972, this time I'm sure about the year) that includes one of my favourite "song" in absolute: "Close to the edge", 19 minutes of pure art... But how forgetting "Heart of the sunrise" or "South side of the sky"... OK, I've already bored you too much... ;)

Wow, "Yours is no disgrace"! It seems you have begun to listen the YES almost starting from their origin. If I remember, this song is part of "The Yes Album", third album of their career (1971, if I'm not wrong). It's really great. I like so much many songs of it, and particularly the final of "Starship trooper". What I appreciate so much is the multifomity of styles and rithms that YES succeed to put in an album and, above all, in a single song. Even if "songs" maybe it's not the correct term talking about YES. I prefer call them compositions. "Your is no disgrace" is one of the first example (you can find some of them in the previous two very first album, with some pieces really fantastic), but afterward they reach more and more higher levels. An album I like really so much is the next one, Fragile (1972, this time I'm sure about the year) that includes one of my favourite "song" in absolute: "Close to the edge", 19 minutes of pure art... But how forgetting "Heart of the sunrise" or "South side of the sky"... OK, I've already bored you too much... ;)
Well, what I can tell you is that I already listened to the
Close to the Edge album (1972, Fragile would be the one with Roundabout if I remember correctly), and it's
amazing. The title track makes for a wonderful music-driven trip, and Siberian Khatru is a perfect blend of soundscapes and harder rock. Which reminds me that lately I'm finding quite interesting to contrast Yes with the other prog heroes, King Crimson: While Yes sounds so spiritual and even light-hearted, Crimson is dark, sometimes even doomy, with all those crazed improvisations...
BTW: Did we ever had a Music topic around here?

You're absolutely right, what incredible mistake for me...! Effectively, last time I listen "Close to the edge" it has been a lot of time ago... I don't want that its atmosphere becomes too customary... I want it surprises me every time I ear the piece in the middle when the sweet drip becomes so real as it was just around me... I think it's time to find 20 minutes so to put my headphones, just after turn off the lights.. ;)

Special commemorative edition avatar... 8)
The old one, lifted from "Moving Pictures" (I still intend to make a more refined version of it eventually):

I got tired (really quick actually) of Doom3 avatar. Time to change it!
My previous avatar, the Stunts truck (thanks to dstein's work) :
The new one is cool!
Thanks, this is my BATRacer helmet. ;)
Reverted to a clean version of the Moving Pictures avatar. Here is the Kubica one, which survived quite a bit longer than I originally intended...

Removing picture from my signature - it was annoying to see that animation, although the picture itself is great.

No comments so far about 8), also know as Mark's new avatar... =)
And even if I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Moving Pictures cover (or of the actual album), I'll switch it a bit for something that might be a slightly harder guess...
The guy in your avatar seems similar to Manu Ginobili
(http://www.mazcue.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/manutrophy_300_080421.jpg)
You mean Robert Kubica in my avatar from a few months ago, right? :) I agree there's an uncanny similarity...
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Ginobili_y_Kirchner-1jul05-presidencia-govar.jpg)
Time to change and time to remind myself for working instead of hanging around the forum these days... ;)
(this is the cathode of a fluorescent lamp - not exactly the one which I'm working on but I couldn't find any cool pictures about a discharge with that cathode type :D)
1 Borsodi question: what is on the picture? Mustn't participate in the game: Duplode and Krys Toff because of their chemical studies, Diesel Joe because of another reason... ;D
The perspective of this space-filling model makes it harder - having co-written a short monograph on this not that long ago I hoped I'd have recognized it quicker... :D
Time to change now as I'm playing with EA F1 2002 again... ;)
I usually like your animated gifs :) BTW,

My previous avatar was in tribute to Larks' Tongues in Aspic (http://www.last.fm/music/King+Crimson/Larks%27+Tongues+in+Aspic), a hell of an intriguing piece of music... by now you know the pattern, so feel free to guess from where the current one comes from ;)

Time to change previous avatar for an easier guess.
The previous one was easier for me - but I know rather little about Dream Theater, or Saint Seiya (correct guess? :))
Saint Seiya, correct! Now guess which of the knights this is...
Did both Zak and CTG took down their avatars or it's just my browser? ???
no, I don't see mine either. must be some bug, will look up...
I see your avatar... But it looks bigger!
Back to the good old Carlsberg... ;)
Now my avatar seems to have disappeared too... I'll use the opportunity for a change, though. While I consider some other on-theme image, I will restore one of my old ones for the GP weekend - the chap needs some support considering the mess BMW is currently in. Go Kubica! ^_^
BTW, previous avatar was part of the cover of an obscure soundtrack album by Pink Floyd, appropriately titled Obscured by Clouds. It contains a very atypical song for them which happens to be one of my absolute favourites, Free Four.

New avatar returns to my usual avatar patterns, and might be an easy guess for one or two people...
I know :D
;)
and the text, too...
Disintegration is the best album ever.
So, avatar changed at last... I guess linking the avatar to me is not that hard.
Previous avatar saved here
Hmm... I can't make too certain of a guess at this resolution, Chulk. To me it resembles a boy from that football anime whose name escapes me right now wearing an Argentina NT kit...

As for me, subtle change! (and an special award to whoever correctly identifies the subject of the photo!)

Correct! That's Juan Diaz, the Argentinian superstar of Captain Tsubasa. Any ideas who that player resembles in real life? Dark, curly hair, Argentinian, number 10 on his back, with a blonde attacker as his wingman...
BTW, there was also a 'Brown' on Argentina's NT, I don't think it was a coincidence...

Previous avatar is a shot of Gerald Bostock, purported author of Thick as a Brick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thick_as_a_Brick) and key subject of one of the most amusing album sleeves ever. The new avatar is a little different in style - it's mash-up time!

For once my new avatar is not music-related. But, as usual, there is at least one forum regular who surely will catch the reference ;)
The previous avatar consisted of the logos of Rush and The Sisters of Mercy superimposed. If you miss it you can still look at it on my last.fm profile...

Our avatars are getting old.
Zak McKracken never gets old.
Avatars in general are getting old.
Actually, the issue is that we're getting old and avatars are getting too young.
Anyway, I can't bother to change mine.

Your perception isn't strange; or at least I find that, conversely, failing to notice noselessness can be surprisingly easy.
Zak McKracken = no moustache. Early in the game he can buy a disguise to have moustache :P

This story is very funny so pay attention ;) (and sorry for my bad english)
The Story starts 10 years ago, when I go out with my dog Alan (a beatiful brown German Shepherd) to do that they do in the trees :D , piss and another things.
All was ok so I didn't pay atention to him. And when I see him, he started to piss, not in a tree exactly, he started to do it almost in the front door of a neighbor. So I pulled the strap trying to stop that mess. I couldn't but in the ground he left some strange marks. It was "written" a word: rotoi. So I assumed that he chose his own name and I started to call him Alan and as a last name Rotoi, then Alan Rotoi.
I used Rotoi as nickname in internet almost from the beginning (1998)
He born the 5 of may of 1988 in Monte a small town of Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina with 8 little dogs more. 45 days after that my uncle brought us a little dog and we called him Alan.
He died the 20 of October of 2001 and from that moment he will be on my heart forever and ever. He was with us 13 years, and it's more than the half of my life. I only have a lot of memories and some pictures. He lived as a king here, you can't imagine how we loved him, my family and friends. I still miss him and sure I will all my life. :cry:
SO!... It isn't a sad story! :D :D :lol: :lol: I started to use the nick alanrotoi more or less from the beginning of 2001 and I edited some pictures with my body and the head of Alan and now that being (we) is called Alan Rotoi.
Rotoi's name was coming from his dog's pee.

Then you wonder why the community is more and more silent as time goes by
Well, there is one thing we could do. We could have a theme month in April.
The theme is "nobody responds to anything posted by CTG or one of his ghosts".
CTG is an internet troll and the psychology of internet trolls is reasonably well established. Happy people don't troll. Trolls use people's reactions to build up a false identity to cover for their real issues with themselves. If you starve them of reactions, they will need to look elsewhere for a magic identity mirror (or actually deal with their issues).
The only problem is of course that the rest of us don't post very much, so it would in all likelihood be a very quiet month.
It smells like 2011.
And it will end like 2011. These ultraliberal shitheads have no balls to punish.
Hopefully not.

What separates CTG from your run-of-the-mill troll that feasts on hate is that he appears to genuinely love Stunts. He spends a significant portion of his spare time managing competitions, racing at a high level and creating original content. Why he constantly tries to manipulate the only community in the world that shares this passion with him is a mystery to me.

I don't think all trolls feast on hate. They come in different shapes. Some use hate speech, some use provocation and some use impersonation.
But you're right that he seems to enjoy Stunts.
Of course he's about to ejaculate in his pants from all the attention he's getting right now, so for now we're only feeding the troll. I don't mind CTG's Stunts-related posts, and some of his off-topic posts are also just fine. It's only the disproportionate amount of them, and the insulting and the repetitive ghost-creation and ghost-spamming that's throttling the community.
