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.
]]>but he is pretty famous you know
No he's not!

No he's not!
Yes he is! You're not that famous! (I'm getting personal! YEAH!)
]]>he is pretty famous you know.
Apparently not.
]]>Well X-G had Lenin as an avatar
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..
]]>In school we studied Lenin and how much of a horrible Nazi he was.
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.

]]>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.
]]>Burn the Thread
Take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I forgot completely what my other avatars were.
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
]]>Communists, altogether!
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"
]]>You change too often.
And I already have my next avatar lined up.
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?
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.

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.
looks at Dennis Bush's picture
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.
]]>Miran: I cannot remeber your older avatars, but Lenin is good.
You don't remember the two color Mirans?
Gnolam: nothing is better than your mad bannana.
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.

I guess they weren't very special.
I steal my avatars from other forums!
Here's one that's been making the rounds ...

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]
did you change your avatar to the crying robot because of Lucid Nightmare's poem?
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.;))
]]>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!
Here (points down) is space where you can write OMG when you find out where Chris Katko's new avatar came from.

Even if everybody will have their own face as avatar I'll stay with my alter ego.
]]>I should make a new icon. Someday.
]]>Just what is he going to think when he sees this?
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...
]]>In school we studied Lenin and how much of a horrible Nazi he was...
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.

]]>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.

Is the stapler Richard Phipps in disguise?

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

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.

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

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).
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 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 would anyone want to change their avatar?
Why did you want to change yours?
]]>I think that not changing your avatar helps you keep an identity for yourself.
]]>Why did you want to change yours?
I had to, my dog told me he was the anti-Christ!
I think that not changing your avatar helps you keep an identity for yourself.
I try to keep an identity for all my selfs...
]]>I think that not changing your avatar helps you keep an identity for yourself.
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.
]]>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.
]]>Who needs identity when you can scare people with my avatar?
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!!!
]]>it's simple, the top part of head will ascend along the vertical axis and open the view to massive funnel.
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!

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