from communism to hand driers! What's next!?

eee

What?

Confused!

looks like X-G's old avatar.

I'm sure it's not, now that I've made a thread about it

Well X-G had Lenin as an avatar, but he is pretty famous you know.

No he's not!

Burn the Thread
Burn the Thread
Burn the Thread

Yes he is! You're not that famous! (I'm getting personal! YEAH!)

Apparently not.

Wasn't that miran? (looks up... yes)

X-G's last avatar was also Lenin

In school we studied Lenin and how much of a horrible Nazi he was... oh wait, that was High School History! Gotta love America!

1. I can't recall ever having a Lenin avatar.

2. Receive bacon

what was your last one then?

How should I know?

bacon?

I don't even know what his current one is supposed to mean (drying hands?). And why he chose it..

Lenin was a nazi

I like yours Richard, it's a nice change from your last one.

Two of X-G's previous avatars (not recent):

The fighter one was the best one he's had.

it's 'old school'

I forgot completely what my other avatars were. In the far-flung past there was a lot of cookies. Fighter avatar at one point. Cantido. Anyway, enjoy delicious new avatar.

(´・ω・)つ(・(・Kneading tits

I like my avatar, the image quality is exquisite! Not to mention the jumping!

Wow, I guess this forum hasn't had a proper spam thread in a while.
That's the only explanation I can think of.

Everyone go use the search feature and find the milk thread now.

Take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

That's why you keep an avatar archive.
If I haven't missed any, I'm on my 22nd avatar.

You change too often.

Who is depicted in your avatar gnolam? It is not one of the mainstream USSR figures I know. Someone from the East-Block perhaps? Honecker?

Communists, altogether!

lambik: http://www.sweden.gov.se/sb/d/1158 (Photoshopped, of course.)

ah

The whole opensource movement can be called communism-like movement

Btw, what was in USSR during the 20'th century was not communism. It was just another Totalitarian regime.

Is it just me or does Richard's new avatar look like an album cover?

AE.

Yes, "PaintShop Pro Pop"

And I already have my next avatar lined up.

The source image. The show "Faktum" on Sweden's (usually extremely Party-friendly) public service television has also noticed Chairman Persson's similarity to Mao Tse-Tung.

You're lucky he doesn't "look like" an American talk show host.

Vote for Conan O'Brian!

True, true.

I'd forgotten X-G's bearded cookie.

Whoa
I'm on my fourth avatar IIRC...

I am on my sixth avatar:
http://people.freenet.de/dennisbusch/shared/avatarhistory.png

I am on my 14th and last avatar. None are worth showing except for the one you can see to the left of this post.

And I'm on my first.. I think. But been mostly just reading the forums.

I'm still on my first and I think I'll keep him by my side.
Miran: I cannot remeber your older avatars, but Lenin is good.
Gnolam: nothing is better than your mad bannana.

I steal my avatars from other forums! But I'm soon gonna start stealing them here instead! looks at Dennis Bush's picture

First and ony on all the forums I participate if not counting the christmas version of it I had a few days
If I find something that is a must-have I might change.

Whose?:P

I like those black and white avatars, like HoHo and CGamesPlay.

And yeah.. annoying when people write your name wrong, when they even have it in front of them. Trust me, I know.

You don't remember the two color Mirans?

He might return one day. But the +++DATA DELETED BY AUTHORITY OF THE INQUISITION+++ is next, no matter what.

Tero: That's an interesting post graph you've got there...

Indeed it is, comrade. Indeed it is!

I'm also on my first picture here (in both meanings of that phrase), even though I have had some others for periods in between (including a bearded version of this one for a short while, back when that sort of thing was fashionable). There's no public archive, but I do have all saved locally. All of those were original drawings except a photo of Elwood Blues (yay Elwood!) and a painting of Wagner (there must have been a reason, but probably not a good one).

Well a couple years in the between that I didn't even remember this place existed. And a lot of times that just didn't bother to login.

Mostly being busy trolling on the irc-channel a couple times in a week.

Just kidding, you can have it for yourself.

No clue what number I'm on, but I have three formats used so far.

GIF:
JPG:

I can't recall any of my earlier avatars...
I guess they weren't very special.

Here's one that's been making the rounds ...

http://www.section8gaming.net/forums/uploads/av-25.gif

Seen it...but...can't...stop ....watching...can't....click.....add reply...

Okay I'm done.

Ninja kitten mode is now in effect.

Meow!

What's with people and cats. Sheesh.

All hail Yuri Gagarin

Inphernic now seems to have a bunch of guys holding together hands, and updating frequently
@ Dennis Busch: did you change your avatar to the crying robot because of Lucid Nightmare's poem?

[edit]
Omg, I checked pixel-to-pixel now, and I realized Inphernic's avatar is Richard Phipps' avatar mirrored, colored and with the hands the former avatar had in front of it!

[edit 2]

No, because i was very... and i mean VERY depressed at that point in time. A short while later i became insane, which was reflected by the avatar previous to my current one. And my current one i have, because i was following along Richard Phipps who said in some other thread that he is on a mission to make everyone use a real picture of themselves for an avatar.8-) (But that does not imply that i am back to sanity.;))

Here (points down) is space where you can write OMG when you find out where Chris Katko's new avatar came from.

Just what is he going to think when he sees this?

Do they call you flash?

Even if everybody will have their own face as avatar I'll stay with my alter ego.

I should make a new icon. Someday.

I know. Why don't we all change our Avatars to some variation of Richard's avatar and see what he thinks when he comes back.

AE.

Done.

I'm changing it back first thing tomorrow morning though...

American schools must be even worse than is commonly rumoured... then again, as a Nazi, he was somewhat of a failure.

As for my avatar, it's my first and only one (though I once changed it for one day). I'm not planning on changing it anytime soon.

Let every day be a Phipps day; Control Center, Custom CSS/JS, copypasta under Custom CSS!

Tee-hee!

ZA WARUDO!

Defacing people's pictures with goatees ... How low can you get?

6 feet.

But my avatar is a real photo. It's just of my cat on my DDR pad, and not me...

Grwarrwgh... grah.

Richard: You should start using Pedro's version, you look like some kind of James Bond!

Richad Phipps - programmer, game designer, pimp.

hey, you gotta make your money somehow!

<-

It seems he didn't like the jokes. He didn't post a comment here and changed his avatar wordless.

His avatar may be wordless, but it isn't letterless, It may only be coincidence, but I am quite sure it contains the letters X and G.

My avatar has subliminal messages...

I didn't mean his avatar was wordless, I meant he was wordless to change it.

I always wondered what relpats eht meant in some language.

Well, in english, when you read it backwards, it says "thestapler" but that isn't the subliminal message I'm talking about...

Is the stapler Richard Phipps in disguise?

the stapler, maybe, relpats_eht, definitely not.

Yes I have too much time, but not enough to decipher the rest. Something about looking deeper.

Man, I gotta figure it out now I love subliminal messages xD
[edit]
Maybe I have too much free time. Dunno why I didn't think of this before, I always use that "techinique" too But I can't figure the "deeper" out.

relpats eht... r elepahts eeht ... our elephants eat...

It's the end of the world!

Glad not to have any elephants nearby
[edit]
Man, I just can't find it
Are you sure there's anything other than the message we saw there?

There is a good chance there is, but there is also a good chance I am a liar... You decide.

You ppl and the phipps avatar... yikes.

relpatseht: I... I... I believe you have my stapler...

23yrold3yold: I miss the goatees

I've had to many avatars... I can remember then all, but I don't have all the pictures any more lost most during an HD crash. I should backup more often

Here are the ones I could find:

What about the VGCats blue robot one?

the VGcats Halo 2. I forgot about that one.

Suddenly, I feel like the world is closing in on me...

Hehe, that's cool level for the coolest flash-game I have ever played.

All good things must come to an end. Having an avatar based on Richard's avatar is a good thing. Therefore, me having an avatar based on Richard's has come to an end.

This thread seems to have backtracked a bit, so without further ado, I present you an archive of avatars I've used on Allegro.cc (I think this is all, I can't remember if I had another one before the cow on a tractor).

jh_anim_80x80.gif

AE.

I've only just rediscovered this thread! I thought it had gone into discussions about communism and avatars and all that boring stuff..

Phipps, what in the world is that?

A fish, minus skin. Also note that this avatar also says XG.

Yep, if everyone wants to be confusing by using my avatar, I'll reference someone else instead..

I still think that you should save Pedro's version of you avatar, you look pretty darn cool on it.

Rrichard: awe man, I liked your last avatar of you. It was so distinguished.

X-G's new avatar looks a bit... danish...

It looks more like a bit... XGish...

I like his new avatar.

I hope he doesn't get bombed.

If I wasn't lazy and don't like my avatar I'd change to Mohamed too

I like my current \m/ enough.

So do I like my current one.

What in fact is it?

This gotta be third time I'll be saying that I like my current avatar. Did I expressed so confusingly?

I think Pedro wants to know where you got it from

(i don't remember if OICW posted in this thread on avatars, but check it out)

Why would anyone want to change their avatar?

FMC: Oh yeah, looks that somebody (me actually) is slow on uptake. And I didn't posted in that thread because I was in the country without internet connection.
So I'll explain: it's Russian main character from game called Original War. His name is Jurij Ivanovich Gorkij but he's called "Burlak". I actually like him more than the main character from american campaign (John MacMillan), there are many reasons but one should be obvious

Why did you want to change yours?

I think that not changing your avatar helps you keep an identity for yourself.

I had to, my dog told me he was the anti-Christ!

I try to keep an identity for all my selfs...

It does, but I don't know if I have an identity anymore.

I definatly identify people by their avatars. I really can't help it, my eyes are just draw to the colors. On this board, where alot of people change their avatars frequently, I get confused...

I suppose I should just turn them off so I'm forced to learn names, but then I would be confused in topics such as this...

I like Steven Silvey's. No one will ever top Zaphos' though ...

relpatseht: me too, so when I look especially after summer holiday again on the board I think: "who the hell is this man" and then I look at name.

Man, totally seconded

That's the reason I haven't changed mine. If I were to make any changes it would be variations on the happy chewing goat, as to not confuse people.

for easter I added an easter basket and eggs.

That's nice. I would do that if I had my perfect avatar. It's just that I haven't found it yet

Who needs identity when you can scare people with my avatar?

That spinning head has a 360 degree mouth. I wonder what would happen if the 'mouth' were to be opened.

AE.

Where did you find such a horrible thing?

Andrei: it's simple, the top part of head will ascend along the vertical axis and open the view to massive funnel.
I guess that Phate has a certificate for being a human being.

Pedro: Some one game me it off of #allegro, I think it was entheh. Its a heavily modified version of this: http://www.binarygrind.com/files/freaky.gif

OICW: I'm human? SWEEET!!!

Is the top part of the head attatched to the rest of the body, or does it levitate when the mouth needs to be opened?

Is chewing accomplished by lifting the top of the head a bit and tilting it until the two rows of teeth meet at one point, and then rotating the direction of tilt so that the meeting-point of the two rows of teeth moves around in a circle? Or is chewing skipped entirely and the top of the head removed and the food just slam-dunked into the funnel?

And what about talking?

AE.

There's central axis inside and the top part is moving along this vertical axis. And it doesn't need to chew, the food just falls into the funnel and to stomach (I suppose that it has stomach).

You call that human?
[edit]
HoHo!
http://www.smartart.it/works/gentoo/larry_the_cow-full.png

I didn't call it human I just said that he has a certificate for it.

(I spotted the Discworld reference.)

/cookie

I have worse avatars as demonstrated by the one that now sits at left

its just a resize of this:
http://www.binarygrind.com/files/2600_love.jpg

If you don't stop showing me those things I'll think you're sick.

Oh my God. I regret the joystick.

I envy it

It's the matter of viewpoint. I'm pretty sure that the joystick is not really happy. But from other viewpoint it could be very interesting to be a joystick or be there instead of joystick

phate: After having so much head in the animated picture, I didn't think you'd need to be given any.

Bad teeth.

It's just the lighting in the scene.
