It does look like something Shmorky would have drawn. I want to know who's behind it.

It was definitely Shmorky. He used to run an avatar thread in SA-Mart a couple years ago and he made a compilation of the 900+ avatars he'd drawn. It was really fun seeing what he'd make when a poster would ask for something ridiculous.



The original image is 7000x5000 and 37MB so I'd have to upload it onto mediafire or something if anyone else wanted it.

Ha! Someone PM'd me about my avatar and I couldn't remember who had made it for me. After searching the forums for the thread I stumbled across this one!

Anyway,

Bavolis is the goon that made it for me and he has done a ton of great work for other goons too.

I'm a fan of Weezy's various incarnations and avatars. I've wanted to make him a Gauntlet themed "Weezy Shot A Food" one forever.

Also, I miss "my dog boyfriend"'s old avatar and text.

The football ones are also glorious, and I love checking the thread to request them to see the absurd poo poo people request.

Snoo had an epic meltdown? I remember her being a lovely poster, and I remember some of the avatars she got as time went on, but I never saw the meltdown. Do you have a link or some clue how to track it down?

e: looking through her rap sheet I don't think I can find a post that isn't some kind of meltdown.

I remember at one point she gave herself a DIY tattoo of a heart on her finger, just like Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day has, and posted about it in the tattoo thread (the previous one I think) and everyone called her a dumbass for the band aspect, the DIY, and being like 17 with a hand tattoo, and she got all pissy and deleted all her posts. I believe there was something similar with some DIY piercings, but I sure can't find any of it.

edit:

The Snoo posted:

okay. I have four self-piercings and two self-tattoos.

the tattoos I did months ago with india ink and a sewing needle. they healed perfectly and did not get infected. recently I redid them with a real tattooing needle and india ink, and again I was fine. I plan on purchasing some real tattoo ink, but for my two little symbols [a heart and a star] it might be a waste.

my first two piercings, in my right ear, were done close to two months ago with safety pins. they didn't get infected, and healed fine in < three weeks.

my third piercing is in my lip, done with a real 14g piercing needle. it's been close to two weeks and is almost healed. my fourth piercing was done the day after my lip, with a 14g piercing needle and is also almost healed.

every time, my needles/safety pins/etc. were sterilised by boiling, and then wiped down with 99% ethyl alcohol. my hands and the area being pierced were wiped with the alcohol as well. the healing piercings were cleaned daily with a sea salt/water solution.

so why are people angry? why is it stupid? I educated myself every way I could. with the lip piercing, I took extra precaution. I thought through the consequences of a lip piercing and visible tattoos, and I have ways to hide them if need be. I have never gotten an infection, while many people who go to real shops [or do dumb self-piercings] do. maybe the safety pins were dumb, but they healed up perfectly, and I resorted to using real needles after that. I don't believe in luck; I didn't get infections because I'm not loving retarded and I took care of myself. even when I slacked off on cleaning piercings, they were fine.

of course, that isn't the case with everyone. I would never recommend d.i.y. piercing/tattooing, but if someone would do it, then I'd want them to gather all the information they can. it doesn't have to be a disaster.

posting this message elsewhere resulted in stories from friends who went to real piercing places and got infections.

Yeah, everything was a meltdown, but she had that Green Day avatar and was making GBS threads on about Billie Joe Armstrong in pretty much every post, with very little retribution. Then, there was some thread where she mentioned that those "I want your BOD" ads for BOD men's body spray was apparently a PTSD trigger for her because she was date raped by some overly muscular male models and it had something to do with her brother. Or something like that... it was really weird and nigh incomprehensible.

And that's when people went loving crazy with red titles on her, and she flipped the gently caress out about absolutely everything, despite being told by various posters that perhaps posting this much info about herself on the internet was a bad idea. Then I never saw her post again.

To be honest, she was either the one person I would immediately punch in the face were I to meet her in person, or the single most elaborate and well-executed troll I have seen in my life. Even then, I'd still punch her in the face. I rarely seriously hate people, and I try to keep a "it's just the internet, bro" view on things, but GODDAMN, she elicited so much impotent rage in me.

There's been an epidemic of ponytars in TFR the past couple months. Someone's been buying them for dozens of TFR posters but nobody knows who - so many people got it that it is literally impossible to see any recent thread without the page being packed with ponytars. Pretty much none of them deserve to be banned for that. I can only hope whoever does the banning actually looks at the post histories first.

She's not a troll, sad to say. She posted her tumblr in a thread once, and holy poo poo. It was just full of her Green Day-related art and photos of her self-inflicted injuries. Really hosed up.

It's been like that everywhere. There have been pony ads linking to FYAD/fanfiction/pony porn and dozens of custom avatars and titles. Whoever is responsible is spending quite a large amount of money on it.

Second is TFF poster Kawalimus. Back in the past he and poster Pop Dog would argue over how good the Ravens truly were. They were famous for the fire and intensity of their arguements, and they would usually spill into seemlingly every thread. Pop Dog's avatar featured a Dog similiar to Kawalimus' that stated "The Dog that Refreshes." Eventually someone suggested that a avatar should be made for Kawalimus that had the same dog with a top hat, a monocle, and a goatee.



This one is great and it's a shame Pop Dog was banned, the joke's just not as good anymore.

I will be very sad when User-Friendly changes his avatar. It's one of the Villareal brothers, who can best be described as Brucie and his brother from GTA4 IRL, in a suit and pointing, with the text "Is There A God? Pt. 9" (based off a series of Youtube videos with that name that the guy actually made.) Sadly, the full funniness of this avatar and text can never be understood by anyone who didn't read the multiple threads about HillaryIs44 years ago in LF. I guess in that sense I also love it because it's a reminder of the great days of LF.

I've purchased a couple avatars for other people which I'm pretty pleased with.


For afrospatula, after he completed his E/N Masterplan Challenge (give out free hugs and kisses to strangers for an entire day) back in 2008, which somehow ended up including us going out to brunch together. He said I gave the best hug.


That is an actual quote of her's, in some E/N thread about making your boyfriend pitch in with housework. I'm not sure why I didn't make it red. Ugh she made me mad.

I should buy more avatars, it's pretty amusing, not that expensive, and supports the forums.
