We need to do something with all of these grey boxes. CO, SomethingsomethingDarkSide, and Davis... you're on my list!

Let's kill them. For reals. Feed them to sarlacc, pull them back out, and beat them with heavy sticks. And then throw them back in.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

That's a little more extreme than what I was thinking (I was going to get them avatars for Christmas) but I think I can go with it.

Don't forget people with avatars that aren't their real picture.

Whoa, Gaffer Tape, OT.com's resident "Keeper of the Peace" is suggesting genocide as a solution to our annoying "grey box" problem that has been plaquing the site since the software update. Well, if Gaffer is cool with it then I am in.

Yeah, I use Gaffer as my moral centre too. If she's down with it...

I'm sorry, but this is a problem that must be dealt with swiftly and with the highest severity. No mercy. They have two hours to comply, and then let the beating/devouring begin!

Yes. I am very pretty. Don't forget it.

So where does one sign up to give the beat downs? I've got my sock full of nickels right here. And I put some horse-shoes in my boxing gloves. I'm good to go.

I recently had Jay reset avatars for those members who had '404' images (this fixed the 'horizontal white line problem').

If you could post your suggested images for those who you think should have avatars, I might be able to talk Jay into making the relevant profile adjustments. I can't dick around with amend user profiles myself, unfortunately.

Maybe there should just be some sort of really embarrassing avatar (instead of a generic avatar), used as the default. That way, people will change it as soon as possible, rather than putting it off too long.

Good! We'll probably need some for the unholy deed we're about to commit. Are there any younglings we can take out along the way?

Forget it? Never. It's part of what makes your argument so compelling!

Ah, who am I kidding? It's the only reason I read your posts, let alone foolishly follow you into with all of these idealistic crusades you embark upon!

Sluggo, you have your sock and gloves and I have my Master Replicas lightsabre off the shelf... now we just need an actual Sarlacc pit...

And my pic isn't real? How dare you? How do we know you're real? I've never seen you in a movie.

It's true Warbler. You've never been in a movie. I'm going to have to side with my fellow Naboobian here.

If you want this thread to deliver, you're going to have to make it easier for Jay than just a list of suggestions.

I'm looking for username + proposed JPG, PNG or GIF 100x100px image (<5KB).

For example:

Ooh, individual avatars for deadbeats chosen by the community, rather than one common avatar for all deadbeats? This should be fun!
