One thing that's recently changed on the site is the new avatar used for those amongst the community who don't have the time or the know-how to add a personal avatar.

I'm talking about this people:  

The black face with the ominous green question mark.

How many of you like the new avatar?

Personally it still deceives my mind into thinking it's actually only one persons avatar. When I log onto the site It strikes me "wow this person posts a lot of new threads" this is closely followed by a message from another part of my brain telling me "no you idiot, thats the new facless avatar!". 

So basically Vgchartz tricks me. Which is infuriating .

I guess I'm still used to the old, plain, happy, perfectly fine blue one.

Now to the bigger question:

Why green? why black?

Is there a deep cosmic meaning for the colour scheme? Does ioi love the riddler? Am I going crazy? Will the website soon be taken over by 'one of them'.

This is a serious issue that needs disscussion.

So discuss!

I'll agree, the new avatar tricked me for a while, but i'm over it now. I still prefered the blue one, but whatever.

I really think we should use the joker picture

it is the new avatarless face, isn't it ?

This thread inspired me to finally choose an avatar.

I was also getting annoyed at the idiot newbie with the million new threads. I mean half of the stuff in the Hot Topics section was started by him!

Then I realised it was actually the 4/5ish portion of all forum members who didn't have an avatar. =P

I agree we definitely need to motivate people to pick an avatar and if they don't know how to do it we should guide them along.

 Lol

It's green and black because this site has an XBOX bias. I don't care how many tricks they use (focus on video games, online,etc) I'm ain't buying no original XBOX! I ain't not never gonna do it!

You're...one of them!

@d21lewis- facinating theory, your probably completely correct.

 Not anymore.  From now on you'll have to wonder if those threads are started by me or by one of the many many avatarless members.
