Do you resent not being able to choose an avatar here?

I wish my kitten in a sweater had come here. It's so cute and people said to me "love your avatar" and "you have the best avatar ever" Well, as long the jolt forum is going I have the kitten. If the jolt forum dies, the kitten is on other sites.

I just replaced my original flag with my avatar, the citizens don't mind.

I personally am bothered by it, however the majority seem not to be from other threads. Just as well my vote is equivalent to 9001 votes by you puny peasants :lol:

Whilst I dislike not being able to have an avatar AND a flag, I hope that will be fixed - after all, some of us are generalites and RPers, and want a flag for flaggyness and an avatar for you know, when I'm not tank rushing noobs.

Resent is too strong a word. Lament is closer.

I don't really mind.
I put enough effort into making that flag as it is (had to draw the snowflake by pixel by pixel >_>).

I never really cared to have a flag in the first place, so like barringtonia I just used my avatar for it.

Well I think of the flag and the avatar as the same thing. It doesn't really bug me. I would like a better selection of flags though.

I mean I could upload a picture but then I would have to find the time at home to do it.

Yes, but I resent my father more for withholding affection.

I actually kind of like it. They saved me the troubled of finding one, and it adds a bit of a flair for RPing threads.

I know it Fjordinavia. I used to not even have an avatar alone.

It doesn't bother me in the least - I enjoyed cobbleing togather my nations flag. But then again I am more than a bit addicted to my photoshop... :D

Nope - I keep avatars turned off, and never even used one on the other forums. Needless eye clutter.

Edit: And if someone wants to be a wonderful person, I'd appreciate a 107x71 transparent PNG to use as a flag.

Considering my avatar on the boards was closely connected to my flag anyway - no.

My flag was what I wanted for my avatar, so I'm happy.

Same here. My Flag and Jolt avatar are the same so, no problems here.

You know, I never did pick an avatar, so I guess I really can't miss it. Maybe we can declare the Avatar to be a Coat of Arms of sorts. Keeps the nice RP flavor and still lets people mess around with silliness. Also, on a side note, these forums are pimpin'. Needs more smileys though.

Since we can choose our flags, and our flags are used as out AVs here, the question is irrelevant.

Your avatar always slightly made me uneasy. I dunno.... it seemed a tad..... odd. :shock:

I would appreciate it if you would copy it over into your own photo hosting site so i don't have to worry if i end up deleting or moving it :D
And no i don't mind at all about flags as avatars. I just need to adjust my flag size ration.

Indeed. Since one can choose one's flag,l and one's flag is one's avatar, I really don't get the question...
