This thread included a poll: SHOULD SAKAVELI KEEP HIS AVATAR AND HIS FREEDOM?

hi every one... ive had all the mods private msging me to remove my avatar so i would like to take it to a democratic vote!! all those in favour of me keeping my avatar and my freedom say "I"!!!!!!!!!

power to the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x

It's not a case of "power to the people" - it's a case of being fair to those on narrowband really.

It's really unfair to expect their pages to take longer to load because of an avatar.

I'm sure if you just reduced the size to the average avatar size, it would be a lot more acceptable - after all it's 500 kilobytes, almost half a megabyte. I remember my 56k days, when it took around 10 minutes to download 1mb, theoretically it would mean 5 minutes to download half a megabyte - so 5 minutes to view a page because of your avatar is hardly fair in my honest opinion... If it were smaller, the file size would be reduced, and so there would be far less complaints 😉

Moved to Waffle.

Cheers

How about running a poll on what type of connections people use? That might give some idea on what the problem is. I have nothing against the picture itself, more explicit ones have been posted previously. But it may really annoy people with slow modems.

I think members should follow moders/admins asks..j2k told me to remove f**** on my avatar,and i did it,.AND now i am using GPRS internet,the speed is very slow.,and its big problem for me to open page,where you have posted message.

Yeah, at least you listened to the moderators...

Sakaveli,

I'm afraid this subject isn't up for discussion anymore, please reduce the size of your avatar, it's getting pretty annoying.

a 1/2 MB avatar is unacceptable...reduce the size and chop it a bit with a gif editor or something.

If you are a man then yo should be shot dead for posting an avatar like that!
Only women are allowed to do so!

Cheers WillBrady....much better....I don't think my Avatar i've gave him will stick around for long 😃

hey man...just joking...change that avatar dude before you attract...euhh...unwanted attention with it... 😉

So YOU'RE the reason my browser seemed to freeze on opening some threads! I hope it's been reduced now!! I was looking for a way to disable avatars but this forum doesn't seem to have that function activated.

thanks for the pink, i think it complemented my features unfortunatly i did have to remove it!

hey atleast it was good while it lasted eh?

im gona try gettin the file size down a bit more then its gona be back up there!!

sorry for the hassle. :cry:

thanks for the picture mr brady!!!! i couldnt get it to link to my avatar so has to leave it at that!

but i hope everyone likes my new one!! 😃

I think it's better you change a presentable one. Respect other especially when there are ladies users in here. Your avatar is "rude".

I don't think it's that bad 😊

Yeah...we cannot blame other people posting here. Some might get offended with your avatar.

I do like your avatar. No problem viewing it. 😃

Jimmy, its a good thing you changed yours dude.

Keep it up guys!

what the hell man??? what century do you live in????

how the hell is it a rude avatar???

get out of the dark ages!!!!!

:roll: :evil:

in the album?? so anynew user can pick it?? please tell me thats not true!
i spent ages on google finding this man!!

hmm.. i personally dont have any problems viewing it but for others with slower modems, it might cause a bit of a problem so reducing it a bit might be good......
