    Avatars

    So I was on a mainstream forum last night and people were bitching about one user who had an image of Jesus and the text "Even I post here" as their Avatar.

    It's a popular forum and though the avatar was a mild joke at the attitude of the forum owners, people got into a huge uproar to the subject.

    Can something as simple as your Avatar hurt your business image on a forum?

    And would you rather the "face to name" feel of a real headshot? or doesn't matter to you?

    some people just need a sense of humour transplant.

    people just take way too many things too seriously.

    speaking of which, i love yr avatar!:cheerleader:

    I agree that people just need to lighten up and stop taking everything so serious. I made a tshirt in college for fun that said "Lick my balls if you love Jesus". Some people laughed so hard they almost peed when they saw it and others were so offended by it they tried to get me kicked out of school. Regardless, it all made for an interesting thesis in my mental studies class :p

    I had a T that I wore in college that said

    "Jesus Saves... at Bank of America.."

    I like Jesus jokes - I'm an irreverent Catholic - especially now with this 660 million dollar settlement from the archdiocese of LA - did you see that?

    500 people got all that cash... not bad - but too bad they had to go through all of that

    I never really enjoyed being an alter boy...

    Greg has a NoPanic! shirt with Jesus is Coming, Hide the porn.

    Hide the porn is on the back so he gets a lot of "I love your shirt" but when he turns around, "Ooh, I don't like that part"

    I have the Masturbation is not a Crime hat. - it does make people smile.


    But back on the topic a little more - Does an Avatar have the power to make or break your business?

    Good Shit my 2 cents....

    :catfight: :catfight: First of all I have to say I personally am almost un-offendable!

    If this was any other industry I'd say yes an avatar can be bad, however we are in adult and if you don't have a sense of humor here, just hang it up!
