How about you pay me $25 instead? I will give you VGChartz money to cover your loss.

I can understand where it comes from, because I definitely do identify people with their profile pic.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Me too! I like everything else about how ioi is running the site, but his blatant Yankery is very disturbing. What kind of an Englishman does he think he is?

If the idea is to prevent people from changing to often why not put a time limit on it. ie if you change it more than once a month there is a penalty. but one change per month is ok.

Why is it such a good idea to discourage avatar changing? I like to play around in photoshop creating new avatars for myself but now I'm discouraged from doing so... Artistic expression is a good thing.

I suppose you could say that having the same avatar longer helps you recognize posters better because that's the only reason I can think of to have this. That's why you should learn to read people's profile names. I was on another forum where you could change your username on a whim...now that was annoying. Avatar changing definitely not so much.



YEah I know, I was Gonna make My sig picture my profile picture but don't want to waste the money



I guess it's to discourage people from removing avatars...but losing 75 only to gain 50 is stupid...you should gain 75 when adding an avatar, so that nothing changes.

And yeah, it's Samus, I found it online a long time ago...not my art.  It looks MGSish though, I like it.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
