Union of Static Self-Representations
« on: April 30, 2014, 12:16:58 pm »
Due to the recent intensifying of the userpics all over the subforums, I now declare The Union of Static Avatar Holders open in order to protect our independence of any temporary temptations and to secure our right of using static pictures as our avatars.

We, the Union, oppose ourselves to descanites, who dwell there, for their corruption of fair static avatars has gone too far.

Me be the first participant.

I'm not static, but the motion is hardly intense. Can I join?

As a person with pretty severe photosensitivity, I'd like to say thanks to my fellow static avatar holders. I've had to download third party programs for my browser so that I can "stop" the animated ones, and unfortunately they can only work by removing the images from the page entirely. Still, this is far better than the constant headaches and upsets I used to get before I found a way to block them. I used to have to hold my hand or a piece of paper in front of the screen just to stop them from triggering meltdowns. : (

Nope.

Static avatars are fun, moving thingies are annoying, or even dangerous.

Also, Sappho, you can just disable avatars in the Look and Layout part of your profile settings.

Despite my coincidental intensity, I, too, support the non-animated avatars. Much easier on the eyes, even discounting photosensitivity (can't say I've had that experience, but it sounds like the current trend would be friggin' awful for you, Sappho).

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Can't see your avatar. If you have none, you do.

Non-static? Request declined, sorry. Static only.

Yeah, sure. They are people. People who are not welcome here for transparent reasons.


EDIT: Okay I look offensive now. I'll cease aggressive replies from now on.

And what if my avatar has no transparency? (/Comically missing the point)
