Is it possible to suppress a given avatar? (aka "Avatar Bashing" [bpd])

I like theagentd’s avatar since its probably the best frame of bad apple
however its a very big image getting scaled down here which unfortunately makes it very aliased

Bahahahahaha!

@Cero
theagentd’s avatar is quite smooth for me…

LOL! OMG, 17 more posts, some pretty outrageous!

I’m moving on to other threads. Have fun, y’all.

(I have to admit, I’m curious, and somewhat worried, about what you will come up with next, teletubo.)

What?! That you’d even think I’d have an aliased signature is WRONG! You clearly haven’t seen my earlier graphics related threads. xD And why would downsampling produce aliasing in the first place? Are you saying that both supersampling and MSAA are fake?

But anyway: Bad Apple!!! Yay! Awesome song is awesome!

Then use Chrome. Everyone wins.

No dice, I love Opera.

1,614 bytes instead of 80,099. That’s -98%.

yeah obviously I would do that too
just he idea that everyone downloads a huge image which is only shown as a tiny thumbnail anyway, makes me cringe

Fixed. Happy? And can somebody PLEASE rename this thread to the Avatar Bashing Thread?

I don’t quite understand your avatar anyway, theagentd. What is it?

youtube search “bad apple”

@theagentd: dont get cranky now =D

I enjoyed the video!
I’m with ra4king, though, in being puzzled about the daggery-winglike thing on her shoulders. There was a dagger thrown just before…?

I edited to the SUBJECT line, per theagentd’s request.

Maybe we should also have an Avatar praising thread. My current favorite belongs to SimonH. :point:

Mine is awesome, now everybody here things I’m David Spade :smiley:

@theagentd
reeeeeaaaaally weird video :S

  1. Go to “Profile”
  2. Go to “Look and Layout Preferences”
  3. Select “Don’t show users’ avatars”
  4. Click “Change Profile”
  5. Profit!

I’ve been upset by the all kinds of aspects of user avatars over time (depiction, animation and so on), this seems the only and best solution :slight_smile:
That being said allowing users avatars allows for easier identification of who is actually posting and makes the forum a bit more colorfull…

It’s supposed to be weird. Have you ever seen shadows do that before?
The characters are from a game called Touhou. You can Google it if you want, but get ready for a surprise!

What does bpd stand for?

@Scarzzurs - yes, that is the nuclear option–don’t wish to go there

bpd: was trying to abbreviate “By Popular Demand” as the first attempt at spelling everything out didn’t fit

just searched BPD and found: Bipolar Personality Disorder
