I don't see anythign wrong with Will's Avatar at all Al. Maybe you could tell us what you see as being "wrong" about it?

I'm intrigued too.

if you do say so yourself.

The proof is in the pudding, Stephanie...

OK... Since we are in the thread about memorable moments:
Some time ago, there were some booty/cheesecake avatars
and some mod said something about them so there was a
change. Now, we have beefcake avatars, so now is this the
direction you want MW to go into, Lorcan?

Guys, I didn't meant to start this, but I can't end it either.
Do what you want to do.

It's all about context there. I'd have a much bigger problem with a man using a bikini model as their avatar because of the dodgy sexual politics involved. Will, on the other hand is a man who has an interest in physical fitness and personal health - He's basically Fruity Rudy from Generation Kill. Hell, the main way I figured out that wasn't him in the avatar is that Will has an awesome moustache.

If your problem with the avatars is a perception of inequality, that's all well and good. But it's something the Mods are aware of and keep an eye on. We worry so you don't have to.

Hello:


I understand...

I can even understand Will, but the others who followed suit...

I also don't know if these avatars will go over well in the Comics+ section
with other MWers who are not in on the joke.

Then there is also a matter of NSFW...

I wasn't imposing on others, just a little concerned. But you worry for me
so I don't have to.

Al, why not let the mods worry about that?

Most memorable? - probably the various contests. Ya know pub survivor, the elections, the bloody contest and tales of loss of thereoft. Ah good times, the pole meme, the time before drunk threads were banned.

My avatar is a dinosaur. I think dinosaurs are more NSFW than half naked wet men. I mean a wet bloke might get some of the paper work damp at the office but a dinosaur would totally fuck shit up.

I'm also working on a stomping boot.

My avatar represents my love of thinking and my love of comfortable seating.

Oh man...this is going to be a thing again, right?

Not another comfortable seating thread!

I've retired Rudolph the red-packaged beefcake. He served his purpose.
