Annoying User Asks Too Many Questions
 
I have a question. I'm new here. How do you get an avatar?:fuzconf:

Alcar 04-12-2008 10:46 AM

You have to subscribe to our elite membership group. Costs about £30/year.

If you don't want to pay £30 send Peter a PM with a short essay about why you need an avatar.

Fuzzle King 04-12-2008 12:17 PM

or ask meh and i'll tell for a slightly smaller fee of £25......

You need to go into your Control Panel (look for the ‘User CP’ link near the top of each page) and find the Edit Avatar option down the left-hand menu. That will allow you to select one of our pre-made avatars, or a custom avatar of your choosing, which you can upload from your computer or the Internet.

I like that Peter has switched the UK and has keyboard access to the £ sign, while I have switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout which doesn’t contain any such non-ASCII characters.

MeechShrykull1029 04-12-2008 02:06 PM

What does this have to do with subscribing?

Nate 04-13-2008 12:14 AM

Peter is merely the owner of these forums. Don't believe a word he says.


Particularly when he's trying to get you into bed.

Wil 04-13-2008 01:59 AM

You’re welcome, MeechShrykull1029.

MeechShrykull1029 04-13-2008 07:28 AM

Okay, I can get an avatar now.

Dvorak seems really...odd.

Especially after you've been Qwerty'ing for so long.

Where Are Lampion And Others?
 
I looked in the oldest threads, and they have posts by members I don't know. One of them named Lampion was a very popular one. Why did they all leave. I also looked into a thread where one of those old members was leaving. Another member told him not to go. He said that most of the new members coming were Stranger fans who never heard of Abe. Just to let you know, I'm not one of them. I've known Abe since I was 6 (I'm 12 now), and I only found out about Stranger last summer.

Havoc 04-20-2008 10:43 AM

People move on, actually find a life, die, take your pick.

Fuzzle Guy 04-20-2008 10:45 AM

Oh believe me, we didn't think you were one of them.

Shit! Are you serious?

Just out of interest, who is this person who said that most of the new members coming were Stranger fans who never heard of Abe?

Why did they all leave?

Various reasons. Being fed up with every or certain members of the Forums, getting bored because of lack of meaningful and/or Oddworld-related discussion, being busy, moving away... And what Havoc said, really. Things get worse when people you actually like decide to leave. Just search 'leaving' in Welcomes and Birthdays, you'll see.

Fuzzle Guy 04-20-2008 11:25 AM

The members that people like say they're leaving and never come back. The annoying newbs always claim to be leaving but never do.

Alcar 04-20-2008 11:31 AM

I will say, that I didn't really speak with Lampion personally, but he was an excellent member and OWH Moderator.

Aww, here comes the nostalgia.

Laser 04-20-2008 11:48 AM

Although i would probably been abused until i was crying to my mumma i would liked to of met Jacob and various others...

MeechShrykull1029 04-20-2008 11:52 AM

Do you think I can still email Lampion?

Fuzzle Guy 04-20-2008 12:06 PM

Why don't you try it and see?

MeechShrykull1029 04-20-2008 12:54 PM

Okay, I sent Lampion an email.

Small Green Thing
 
What is the small green thing that appears when I post.

Salamander 04-20-2008 01:45 PM

*Facepalms*

Damn, I was too late. Look, people make a decision to leave, if they want to leave they can leave, can't you just respect that and leave them in peace?

You weren't even here when they were! It's like crying over spilt milk that you didn't have.

Wings of Fire 04-20-2008 02:22 PM

It tells you what your reputation is, which is determined by how other members of the forum think of you. Right now you at 10 rep because no-one has added or taken away any rep yet, thus it is green.

And to answer your next question which I believe will be 'How do I get more' you get more rep by other people repping your post because they liked it or thought it was amusing.

There are about three threads on this, I'd advise using the search option first next time :).

Alcar 04-21-2008 01:10 AM

Yes, searching is always best.
