Can you instead change abrg923's special motto to say something like "Ruins jokes" or "No Sense of Humor"? I double-dog dare you!

I'm pretty sure those people are paying to have an avatar also. You probably have to be a super-premium member (or a mod) to pick other people's avatars.

Will this fit take place before or after your 24-hour fit is through?

Wait...wait...wait...just so I'm clear, the OP is complaining about other avatars, and not his own, being changed? That's...hmm.

Re: I'm sure people will throw a fit...

I'm curious as to how this defeats the purpose of using avatars? Did someone force you to switch? Seems if you are still able to 'express your individuality unhindered,' then the avatar system works! And the terrorists have won! I have a star on my belly!

Re: I'm sure people will throw a fit...

I'm almost positive Argiebargie's complaint is, in and of itself, just another 4/1 prank. He kept the act up a bit too long, though, killing teh funny.

If not, then screw'im.
