New pseudo-poll: Avatar and Sig

[ZippyVol]

Zippy's Burning man Avatar (which was ultimately caused him to leave Gridscape in the first place)

Does it live on at the new board, or is it time for a replacement?


Zippy's Evil Ninja Automated Insult Generator Sig:

I totally expect a massive response to these earth-stopping questions. Plus, I'm bored.

Every one of your Evil Ninga insults that I've ever seen didn't quite fit into the little textbox that contained it so that part of the text was "off-screen" and otherwise unreadable. Maybe that's a Firefox thing since I've had the same experience on multiple computers and operating systems but FF is the common denominator.

But I always liked the burning man.

.....but dude, Zippy is not Zippy w/o the burning dude. :rock:

Same for me on Opera and FF.

One more vote for the burning man.

Keep the burning man.

You mean to tell me they gave you a hard time over that at VC?

[VaVol]

Burning man. And I use Firefox on both Macs and PCs and have the same issue with Insult Ninja.

I never knew WTH that thing was- might as well it keep it though.

Yeah, I got this pm from Vol12 out of the blue, saying how the burning man was 'offending' some poster who had complained about it and asked him to remove it. So he asked me to. I told him they can shove it. It's not offensive. Of ALL the things to complain about me doing to offend, I was sorta offended that THAT was what was chosen (I mean good grief, have these people not ever read any of my posts? Apparently, they are always offensive).

So I basically told him something along the lines of it being a bogus complaint, and as far as I knew the subject was dropped.

Then right after that I got into it with someone about Momma Wormburner being a cunt. Vol12 was saying people needed to 'treat player's parents with respect', and my reply was something along the lines of 'only if they give it in return. If she's gonna be a cunt, someone else is going to be an ass'. About 5 minutes after that post, I get another out of the blue pm from Vol12 about my icon offending someone, and he told me to remove it. By that point I'd had enough. Told him to shove it up his ass in a PM, made a similar post to him on the main board, and I left.

So yeah, the burning man spawned my departure from Gridscape.


edit: Incidentally, this is the one and only time I have ever discussed a PM I've ever received with anyone other than the person who sent it to me; and I wont go into any further details about this one. There's more to it than this, this is just as little as I could say to explain what happened..

BOOOOOOOO bad news, Burning man is no more. Maybe I can make him live on in a signature.


























(the file is too large)

Zippy, did you try my instructions for lifting your avatar from Yuku? It should work.

Edit: I ran over to the old forum to see if I could lift it myself and it's gone from there as well. What happened?

[ZippyVol]

Nah I have the file, its just too big (I.E. too many KB) for this board to post the animated gif as an icon

[Blacksheepvol]

How big?

[ZippyVol]

Dunno, I'll look when I go back to work on Monday -p
