[The Darkling Wolf]

I tend to remember people by avatars mostly, it's why I so rarely change my own.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Got this one around Halloween, but I mostly lurk which probably accounts for not having seen it.

[Iceblaster]

I change my avatar and see how long it takes for people to notice...

Talking about people noticing, I've ruined this avatar's contest

[Gunner-Chan]

...As do I.

Janet was, evidently, almost pissing herself with laughter. (I did get your gender right, didn't I?)

I remember the penguin fad pretty well. It WAS kinda funny. I remember there was also two very minor ones somewhat later, where touhou avatars caught on, and then I was feeling weird and started a very minor Taokaka avatar fad.

Also of course you got my gender right. I mean my name here is Janet (Even if I go by Rozy now).

To tell you the truth I don't know why I eventually decided to just go by what I used as my real name at the moment.

So how DOES an avatar fad start.. I mean, it's not enough just changing avatar and say "Look at this!".

Someone else copies the style, and then someone else does. 4 people is critical mass where the reaction is self-sustaining.

Well that requires timing.. Hmm..
Anyone have a formula.. or something..  of how an avatar fad starts?
That way we could predict when the next one happens.

You know how I chose my name?

I had a can of pop on my desk when I was deciding upon it.

[Gunner-Chan]

And now I'm wondering what Japas avatar is since it looks rather cute.

[Rose]

Here's the full version. technically work safe, but shows lots of skin.

I cleaned out my recycle bin after a binge of deletion, and in the end, you know what pops up?

"Cannot delete file, file not found."

That's just... weird. Deletes the file, but before the dialog closes, it goes "Oh shit, I just deleted the file I'm deleting, how can I delete it if I can't find it because I just deleted it?!"

What.

[kaijyuu]

It had a reference to a file that no longer existed. Something else probably deleted it first.

[Descan]

For every single file? I didn't mention that part, no. But it was -every- -single- -file-.

[LordSlowpoke]

you managed to run clean recycle bin twice by accident

i thought that was virtually impossible

another victory for canadian it i guess

Holy fuck the comments on this piece. Sometimes the Internet literally makes me sick to my stomache. It seems like more and more of it is looking like this - it's a sad day when 4chan starts looking like a paragon of politeness and tolerance compared to the average news site, but that day is here.
