ok guys, I get it. I can see from the responses in this thread and the lack of responses from site admins/mods that I am in the minority here. Keep the avatars the way they are. However, this thread has helped me realize that I need stop lurking in forums, so I am moving on and leaving the chartz. It has been fun!



People have tried to tell you, install adblock plus and you can block individual images. Problem solved.

Shouldnt you be like.. Working instead of visiting this site while at work?

its not just work.  The other day I was going to show my girlfriend something on facebook, but when I booted up my computer I hadn't closed my browser and I had been viewing a thread on this site.  So, of course my girlfriends eyes go straight to this inappropriate avatar and I had to sit and explain what site I was on and that it was just a video game site for like 20 minutes.  It was embarassing.  

whut?
my wife sees me here all the time and she knows witch is my avatar and that the others are other people... just after like 3 seconds and she get the idea...
heck... she even sees me in that "dat ass" thread and doesn't mind, its not like i am doing anything wrong in her back... every GF/Wife knows (or should know) we see porn in the net... if she is kidding her self by thinking other wise, she is a fool...

If you're really leaving, then farewell brother!

it justs sets the demeanor for this site. when you allow everyone to act immature you will have an immature forum. that is where this forum has been headed for a long time. ever since the chart tools were removed and sales discusions started taking second seat to spam fests threads.  used to be a more adult friendly place to discuss sales and games, and it just isn't any more. Kind of sucks. Oh well though, probably is time to move on for me too. we will see if i find another forum that peaks my interest. I think this one is on the way out in the next few years.

I agree with you completely.I also believe avatars are way too large and distracting.Also,you should definitely remove those monstrous pictures from your sig and then maybe this forum will look like something.
