A suggestion regarding custom avatars

Its not hard to look at their join date above their post. 😛

I remember Cronic made a nice Zelda/Metal Gear Solid combo ZC quest. That was quite rad.

It's not, but it never actually entered the discussion.
Did he actually finish that quest(s)? I remember he had some ambitious plans for it.

I don't see Plith anymore either, but I think he just went to one of the other ZC websites like Cyclone.

Project 7 I don't think is going to happen.

However. Shattered Earth is.
I would just like to point out that Shattered Earth is doing quite nicely, developmentally, and could bring new life in.

Also, maybe ZC is old news to people who've been here for 6 years, but there are always new people to discover stuff.

I guess if we're turning this into a history lesson, I might as well show what AGN looked like when I joined during the summer of '03.

And my first post.

A lot has changed, but I've become a lot less active recently, and I don't know how everything's been around here lately. All I can say was that at the beginning, my post per day count was around 16, and I don't even want to look at where it is now.

I really thought you would enjoy it.

Hmmm... well, most of the AGN community seems pretty responsible and intelligent (except for that day or two following a ZC release 😉 ), but allot of forums restrict custom av's to new members and what-not for good reasons. One being that many newbies tend to use heavy gif animated avatars that take hella-forever to load and cause the article to drag a bit... and posted article pics to slow down... allot. I mean, me being a newbie... yeah, I think it's great I can have a custom avatar now, but remember what can happen. Setting a high post count usually insures that only trusted members who really respect the community upload small size avatars and such.

By the way, I'm a 56k user (caveman)... just so my plea makes more sense.

I feel old compared to all these kids here nowadays. You can probably count on one hand the members who came before me who still actively post.

Anyway, I suppose the wishes expressed here have been granted.

The nice part is that it seems that mostly the people who actually contribute to stuff and help people stick around, whereas the people who just show up and say "Heelppppppppppp!!!! Zelda classic wnt wark!!!!! What ma I oding wrong!!!!!!" stay for like no time at all. (Or occasionaly they actually learn to type, but it's not often)

I joined the forums to ask a Zelda Classic tech support question. (My typing and grammar were much better, at least.) Glenn actually answered the question...

I've always been helpful like that, haven't I?

I joined here because I am bored. If your that fixated on avatars you'll get bored fast.

Hmmm 1000 posts. Never gonna happen.

BTW- No one seems to have avatars is there a setting i've botched?

Go under your User CP and check your options. You probably have them turned off.

And custom avatars have been enabled now so have fun.

Wow I feel accomplished.

Honnestly I never really understood why people were typing like this ... They get attention but on the negative side which only annoy users and tend to leave their questions unanswered because of that. I never ever typed like this on a forum, and I never felt to! What urge get people to do so??? It's all so senseless to me XD

I've been visiting an another forum, been there for around 2 years, and now I have nearly 2000 posts.

It takes forever to get 1000 posts in here also...

I'm happy I can use custom avatars now.
