This is what the OP said:

"It isn't a big deal to me personally what people put as their avatar, but it is freaking embarassing if somebody comes up to you while you are viewing this site "

So you don't have a problem viewing the site, it's just when you view the site in the presence of other people. So what's the purpose of leaving the site altogether? Why not just browse the site only in privacy? Clearly you are being overly dramatic and will come to your senses soon. You will be back. I believe you believe you're leaving for good, but you're coming back....they always come back.

I can assure you all that this guy will be back on VGChartz within a few weeks (anybody wanna bet?).

Yeah great idea. Then our 'names' should be regulated, what games we are playing... where does this stop. You don't like someones pic to bad, free speech you hear of it? Our pictures are an expression of who we are, unless its graphic in some way they should be left alone.

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.

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.


The most immature act to happen for weeks in here is leaving the site because of people's avatars and sigs, its incredibly childish in my opinion.

There are still a lot of good members and some nice discussions to be had in here, I'm not going anywhere for a while. I hope you're not seriously considering leaving the forums as well, thranx, we need members like you (you're easily counted among those good members)m the 07'ers need to stay!!!

There's no way to toggle avatars on/off? If so, then that's pretty shocking since that's a pretty basic feature in most forums.

The most shocking here is grown men leaving a forum they have frequented for years due to avatars.

Well, judging from some of the avatars and sigs on here, I think we all know what the"VG" in VGChartz stands for... and no it's not video games

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Ridiculous all around...
