Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I think the only thing my avatar might apply is that dwarves actually wear clothes other than left gloves, capes and socks, which is totally incorrect.

I suppose some people have no idea where my current avatar comes from, but more or less got it because those characters are carefree and naive.
Great, now I have to go play Legend of Mana... AGAIN!!!

On topic, I can't seem to decide on an avatar, so I'm switching every few weeks.

the pirate is awesome.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

Is yours supposed to show up for three seconds then vanish? I didn't know you had an avatar until you said you did.

Realm, is that "bandwidth exceeded" intentional?

The pirate is pretty cool, I guess.

[offtopic]Hey, Jackrabbit. Shouldn't you be going to school? [/offtopic]

I'm growing more and more attached to my avatar. It scares me. Does it change anyone's perception of my voice?

Not really, I'm just more appreciative of what you have to say.

Blegh. Sick.

Also at this point I'd be at school and have access to my laptop anyway.

I hate it when people change their avatars, even if the new one is better. Always trips me up when I'm trying to read forums.

Anyway, my avatar I thought to be somewhat fitting.

It's a green-skinned policeman- from Psychonauts, I think. Not sure what that's supposed to communicate though.  :-\

Perhaps, but then someone would have used a lungfish.  Which is also relevant to Dwarf Fortress.
