I actually don't like the "permabanned" avatar swap

[AldUK]

Brilliant! Whichever mod was responsible for the avatar switching in this thread deserves a medal. Stay classy, 'Scapist.

 

[Fappy]

Yeah, but the problem is that everybody else now has the same avatar as yours.

You guys are all posers. You just wish you could be as cool and grumpy as me!

Yeah, I'M GRUMPIER THAN YOU! So shaddup. The student has finally surpassed his master.

If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

In that case I will strike you up, so you become less powerful than I can possibly imagine. Erm, just let me come up with how exactly does "striking up" work.

Yeah you go ahead and work on that.

I'll just be over here.

Conquering the world.

Huh... Seems someone has been playing around with the avatars in this thread....

Oh my god, I laughed so hard, and I don't know who to attribute it to. I guess I'll just blame Kross out of principle, too.

Brilliant and damn funny at the same time!

That sounds like it could be a new meme! 'Scumbag Tech Team'? Or 'Lighthearted Tech Team'

You know, when I was new on the site and didn't know about the PERMABANNED image automatically taking over your avatar, I thought it was the same guy who just kept coming back with the same avatar.

Also, Why's everyone's avatar a cat?

 

[Lunar Templar]

strange ... every one seems to have the same, unamused cat avatar.

anyway, didn't know this was a thing, but chances are, if i stopped caring about being part of the site enough to warrant a permaban, i would probably stop caring what my avatar was.

we've met right catchpa?

I gotta say, I'm enjoying this grumpy cat avatar invasion, and wouldn't mind at all if it was applied across the entire escaptist website.

 

[Loonyyy]

Entirely agree. It doesn't add much to the sense of impartial justice, and more public spectacle.

I also am not a fan of deleting the profiles of some banned users. I liked reading some of their posts, and it bums me out not to get to read their opinions again.

This needs to be a new meme. Now.

There's already a scumbag tech support meme, so I would go with the lighthearted tech team.

I don't really care if they lose their avatar when the person is banned until the end of the internet.

However I must ask... How many times are we going to bring up threads about banning that only serve to amuse Kross? You are never safe you know. He is always lurking, sneaking, hiding, coding. The only way to win is to nuke the internet and the hive where he codes more of himself.

 

[omicron1]

Huh. The mods are a bit catty on this topic.

Anyway: Can't say it bothers me that much. In fact, a bit more avatar swapping for special threads/events might not go amiss.

 

[lord.jeff]

It's a punishment you're not supposed to like it when it happens to you, though I will agree with anyone saying the chosen image is a little immature.

I was thinking of "Good Guy Tech Team", but I guess "Lighthearted" works too

I couldn't think of another term other than lighthearted so good guy works too!

 

[The Great Purtabo]

What is with all the cat avatars...? TECH TEEEEAM!

 

[sky14kemea]

I rarely even see that avatar >.> So I don't have an opinion on it.

Wait yes I do, it's hilarious

I get that people are personally attached to their avatars (Well not everyone) But once you're permabanned, are you really gonna come back just to stare at it?

Edit: Yes I thought up that whole post to get the grumpy cat avatar.

 

[NeoAC]

Well what's going on in...what the hell happened to me? Why am I a cat now?

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I, for one, accept our new cat-vatar overlords.

...

NEVER MIND, I WANT MY OLD ONE BAAACK!! D':

 

[Humanity1]

What? Free angry kitty avatars! Where do I sign up?

OT: I'm pretty sure just having angry kitty with the word permabanned in big red letters would probably be an equally effective and more hilarious alternative to the current permabanned avatar.

 

[Lyri]

I see a user avatar as a rather personal thing, an extension of one's forum personality, and it's rude to mess with that.

I sincerely hope you're joking here.

I'M SO CONFUSED AT THE KITTIES.
