Greetings every one! Long time lurker here...... I have to say that the first time I came in to GBS I was somewhat, taken aback, as it were, by all of the avatars featuring that guy :aaa: I'm hoping beyond hope here that these avatars are just ironic and not actually condoning the actions of........ A certain cheeto dust garbage doo doo man. Honestly not really sure if this is the place for me....... Really confused here guys

Clearly this is an alt-right race realist site that worships Trump and uniroically calls him "god emperor"

That is why the starter avatar, the one made to encourage you to buy a new one, shows Trump making a stupid face and the letters Trump Lover appear around it as a mark of shame rather than pride.

I already posted my vote but I'm doin it again because I didn't justify it

i think this picture that Sulgnoid may or may not have photoshopped should be the stupid newbie picture because it implies, as is shown in the picture, that stupid newbies are:

1 Newbies (little kid = noob)
2 Stupid (mean signs = bad opinions)
3 maybe they'll grow up into good posters eventually (we hope)

In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrasts.

The current newbie avatar is insanely good because it keeps provoking reactions like this and that QCS meltdown guy.

It's pretty sad people have gone full Harry Potter with "You-Know-Who" being in office and we probably shouldn't indulge those people.

The nice thing about the regularly changing newbie avatars is that I get a new one from time to time without having to put any effort into it.

Also, each one manages to sum up the essence of who I am at that particular stage of my life so well that it's as if they were designed specifically for me. I look forward to my newest incarnation.

As a genuine newb people calling this forum dead is why I didn't reg for a long time bc I figured I'd spend $10 and then the forums would be down for good before the year was out. Sort of counterproductive to Lowtax's goals of not dying a pauper.

EDIT: Gay, now, that's just the content I'm looking for! :sparkles:

I can't find the thread now but years ago RAZER made a thing and a guy in the thread made some pretty insane posts about the launch afterparty
pretty sure it got goldmined
it's in the "post things that make you lol years later" thread but I can't find that one either
