It's not about worthiness. I find sites with loads of sigs and avatars and so forth difficult to read and get into. Which means I need a really good reason to make the effort. There's one other forum that I frequent, which allows avatars and has lots of people communicating through pics and gifs, and it took me a while to get uised to it. It's the site for a game I play, and that made it worth my while to get used to it.

I prefer less busy sites.

I also didn't like some of the tone of the place: the thread about which girls you like, the word 'nigger' cropping up too much for my tastes. It's entirely hypocritical of me, because I forgive exactly the same stuff in the game forums. Like i said: I expect that in gamer culture, I hadn't expected it in a general interest forum, and didn't particularly like it.

All of these things are a matter of 'club' culture. I just prefer this club's culture :P Doesn't mean your place is less worthy.

I supect the difference probably lies in the amount of emotioanl investment in a poster -in other word it's a compliment. No-one gives a fuck about this person and whether they fit in or not ....give them enough rope.... where as you are an established/cherished/whatever member of the community and people care enough to tell you when you're bothering them. Maybe they actually want to read your future posts but feel happy to skim over the future posts of this character in case they are NSFW.

You only tell people you truly love that they have spinach in their teeth.

I put the freak on ignore after the first post, so it's no longer a concern for me. However, you Gravdigr, are someone who brings value to a discussion. So I think Monster is right. Take is as a form of love. ;)

Seeing as you think I'm a fucker anyway, why should I care about your "I'm so picked on" whining?
Rub some dirt on it Mary.

My thumb up was not directed at you SG. Sorry if you took it that way. Or am I just reading into it.... don't know.

Sorry Merc - bad habit of mine not to use quotes.
It was directed at Grav, albeit lightheartedly.

Sure it does.

Oh, and Cherri, we don't need avatars to display our individuality. We do that just fine without artificial assistance.
