Are there any reasons you won't let us have avatars or images in our sigs? I know of sites that force sizes onto each so that they cann't throw off formatting...

Mr. K: Y'know, I was just gonna turn that feature on, but then you posted, so I changed me mind.Maybe posting again will counteract the change of mind incurred by the original... prolly not. Mr. K: I'm just completely unreasonable. I already knew that... *checks sig before posting* [ 08-07-2001: Message edited by: Givera ]

Let's look at this way-if you didn't want to put something up that you thought would be controversial, you wouldn't be upset about not being able to do it.

I see no point in cluttering up a nice, neat forum with a bunch of pointless pictures that will serve no purpose except to slow down loading time. As if the forum wasn't cluttered enough already with the junk the new software has added. But that's just my opinion, and I don't count for anything.

Badcrow: Thinks of all the graphic porn that would be displayed... That's done anyways. CrystalMeth: As if the forum wasn't cluttered enough already with the junk the new software has added. But that's just my opinion, and I don't count for anything. I'm pretty sure there's a LOT of stuff in UBB 6.0 that K's already disabled besides avatar... I think the member ratings are the only feature added. (The new look isn't a new feature IMO.) Does UBB 6.0 have polls like vBulletin? And if there aren't, I think AH should switch over to phpBB or vBulletin... I know both of them push that they can reformat UBB databases.

Avatars are a maintenance problem anyway...I don't want to spend time deleting your stupid pr0n or "Jivera Sucks!" images. If I allow outside links, there are going to be all kinds of broken links, slowing down page-loading even more. And I'm not going to store everyone's avatar on our server. It's just a lot of trouble, for no real purpose.Givera: I'm pretty sure there's a LOT of stuff in UBB 6.0 that K's already disabled besides avatar... I'm pretty sure there's a lot you don't know squat about. This would be one of those things. I think the member ratings are the only feature added. Cutting the storage size in half would be another. Does UBB 6.0 have polls like vBulletin? Nope. Again, another good thing. And if there aren't, I think AH should switch over to phpBB or vBulletin... Are you going purchase/maintain them?

Mr. K: I don't want to spend time deleting your stupid pr0n or "Jivera Sucks!" images. Then don't. It's not like you delete any now anyways.Mr. K: I'm pretty sure there's a lot you don't know squat about. This would be one of those things. Password-protected user profiles; can be modified by user That feature has apparently been disabled. :P Private forums and Archives I don't see any of those! Set BB fonts, table widths, colors, and graphics and Turn Forums on/off Those features aren't employed either... It doesn't seem like you're using the feature to take a user's ability to post away... otherwise I'm sure I'd be silenced. Mr. K: Nope. Again, another good thing. How so? Have you ever seen a vBulletin poll? They're much nicer than our current make shift ones... Mr. K: Are you going purchase/maintain them? vBulletin costs a fraction of UBB and phpBB is free.

...and you wonder why no one likes you...quickly...Jivera: It's not like you delete any now anyways. Yes, I do. Password-protected user profiles; can be modified by user That feature has apparently been disabled. No, it hasn't. Private forums and Archives I don't see any of those! They aren't "disabled", they just aren't useful. If I had a private forum, you'd just bitch that you weren't allowed in. You're grasping at straws. Set BB fonts, table widths, colors, and graphics and Turn Forums on/off Those features aren't employed either... Yes, they are. It doesn't seem like you're using the feature to take a user's ability to post away... otherwise I'm sure I'd be silenced. You're an idiot. How so? Polls would be annoying, because they would clutter the joint up and immediately be used for what we've seen current polls used for..."Who's the coolest Azure personality?", etc. I thought for a moment they might have a use for something like determining rules for a Pokemon challenge or something, but even then they're not useful because only the people involved in the match should be voting. A discussion thread is much more useful. The closest thing we have to a poll now is the user ratings, which you turned off. I guess you're just not interested in the options I have provided you. vBulletin costs a fraction of UBB... So buy one and start your own forum. This UBB is paid for. ...and phpBB is free. ...and it's virtually identical to the UBB. I dunno even know why I'm wasting my time... [ 08-08-2001: Message edited by: Mr. K ]

I take it back. You can leave off sig pics and avatars... They just don't fit into AH's UBB.

That's pretty much what they became, so what caused K and the toad to change their minds?

They just came standard with the next version of the UBB. Kinda like the rating thing, I thought I'd just leave it on, cos it's kinda fun and easy to implement.
Of course, anything that can be abused will be abused.
About the first 6 polls were "Do polls suck?".
Personally I think the polls are pretty useless, because the thread is the interesting part. I usually check out the polls once, when the thread is new and only a few people have voted. I never remember to see what people said like a week later, when the results might be interesting.
I don't think the polls have been all that disruptive (deleting threads is easy), but I am considering nuking the user ratings what with all the "X gets a 5!" posts.
Oh great, some user I've never heard of is giving some other dude I've never heard of a 5 because he posted a picture of a squirrel. Joy.

Sorry I had to... Tars are a great idea... but easily abused, just like the polls. It'd take about three seconds to have goatse... ah you know the rest.

But anyway, no there are no reasons whatsoever why I won't let you clutter up the forum with little pr0n images. None at all. I'm just completely unreasonable.
Why don't you just ban who ever posts porn?

1. Too much work. 2. It would just cause more whining. 3. Avatars suck anyway.

I'm glad you choose when the end of discussions are...
Maybe nearly a month of no replies actually ends a discussion.

Our lack of avatars and 52 foot long sigs is what divides us from what TPM used to be. I can just imagine the amount of space used up from avatars...
