oh come on it’s a reference to this hobo-sploitation film

tho i wish i could take credit for that ridiculous take

as part of the home alone expanded universe, this film raises serious continuity questions, such as why marv doesn't recognize mr mcallister's house while burglarizing it, even though they clearly met years before.

Friendly reminder that Musk's family got rich off slave labor...

Which is legal in the US if you are currently being punished for a crime.

In short

Death to capitalism.

as I understand it you buy it as an av, then put the image tag to the avatar image as a custom title

One user needs to buy it as an avatar. This uploads the gang tag image to SA's server.

Once that's done, anybody (including the original gang tag purchaser) can buy a new avatar with [img] tags in the title text linking to the gang tag.

so, say someone buys it as an av and then switches back to their original one an hour later. what happens to the image that the tag points to?

e: and how, sometimes years down the road, do people know what tag to put in the custom text field to bring up a given gang tag?

basically, you can use [img] tags up to the character limit in the custom title area, but they'll only work for images hosted on fi.somethingawful.com

You're waaaaaaaaay overthinking this.

All your old avs stay there forever. the url is your usernumber followed by the number of your av. Using IOspace as an example, this was her last one



and the one before that



found simply by changing the last number of the av.

Your gang tag was original purchased as an av by user cheese-cube based on the URL https://forums.somethingawful.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=117560

once the image is on the server, you can paste it into your av space. if you want a gang tag someone else has, simply find the url and paste it in there in image tags.

e: lol, this is one someone bought me a long time ago



it had something like "ask me about my fast car" underneath it becuase i was making fun of someone's slow car, and it was hilarious

that was not always the case though. for example, this stupid black square is .0001, but i've had five or six avs before this

e. nm, it increments only if a file with the same extension already exists, so a gif, jpg, and png will all have the same number
