    OT: I miss the good ol' days when avatars weren't all dudes picks of themselves
    Am I alone here?

    Avatars have always been a spot for...

    1) Hot women
    2) Clever joke pictures (or anything funny)
    3) Cool icons/logos
    4) Hot women
    5) Team logos
    6) Pictures of your pet dog or cat
    7) Pictures of your baby son or daughter
    8) Hot women

    I've never seen a forum with so many guys using pics of themselves as avatars.

    I miss the good ol' days!

        There you go, usckings, a hot Canadian gal and a bunny boner discussing Honduras trannies. Can't get much better than that. Perhaps the good ol' days are making comeback.

            Sorry. I think Nina and I started it...but in our defense, we DID follow one of those rules...whether it's hot women or joke pictures would be up to the beholder to decide.

                I like guys showing off their faces, muscles and their girls

                I might put one up of me nude

                fake avatars usually say something about the person.

                  1. Me, too, but just the first two.

                  2. Will there be fair warning first?

                  3. Indeed, but real avatars say more about a person.

                    Real Avatars=more secure with themselves

                    No, one day you will see me nude, might just be a top shot though without my rug. I do not want to show off below my belly as guys will get jealous.

                        Well I notice that "HOT WOMEN" are on your list more then once... My comment to that is we have threads here of some HOT f*ckin' women and that's not enough for you..?

                        IMGV's rate threads and BDan's cheerleader threads (the best) not to mention the SBR Babes (even if they are not real) just to name a few out of the many threads but I guess that's just not enough WTF..???

                        I suggest you go beat off..

                        I would agree but I don't think we have any posters here that are in the hot dog eating contest!

                              I don't mind the self portraits, it lets you know who you are dealing with.

                                I don't mind you girls putting up your pictures... just the guys. Ridiculous double standard I know, but I think it has something to do with the fact that us guys have been brought up by society to believe that all girls online that seem cool are probably fakers. Putting up a pic to say 'Yeah, I'm a woman and like to talk sports, what of it?" Isn't quite as bothersome to me as dude avatars. That may make sense or that may have dug a hole. Hopefully you at least get where I'm coming from.

                                I just thought it was funny the other day there was a thread I was reading where Deuce and Mofome went back and fourth like 5 times each uninterrupted and something about that much self-avatar at once threw me off guard.

                                My videos suck compared to our resident legend's, but they are right here; http://www.youtube.com/kingsrule41 , I'm not embarrassed about how I look or anything, just don't think you need to see my mug every time I post. Will come out with a new batch of vids for the NHL playoffs.

                                Anyways no personal attacks here just having some fun... you all seem cool I love being here.

                                  It's a picture of myself. I am happy with my looks. The broads here are too. It lets clowns know who they are talking to as well.

Oh well, we'll just have to live without the likes of LargeMouthBass' avatar or some of the other premium ones. I wonder if infractions on curse words are coming next..

                                              that was Billy.

                                              i got warnings from Ganchrow, Illusion, Willie ever since they started policing.

                                              i think i got the mod's power figured out now, Billy, Ganch, Illusion, Willie, and Sean can going into people's accounts and screw around with it. Onlooker and BBD are less anal than the rest of them.

                                                No, one day you will see me nude, might just be a top shot though without my rug. I do not want to show off below my belly as guys will get jealous.
                                                This thread deserves a bump to show just how honest JJ is. He promised it a year ago, and this month we got satisfaction on the matter. Cheers to JJ!

                                                          Is there a vagina below the belly?

                                                              Thanks Willie! I've always been a huge history buff, and I'm finding during my time in the SBR archives that our own forum's history is no less engrossing than that of the world itself. With all the new faces, I figure I'll give them a crash course on how much things have changed while remaining exactly the same.
