Atahualpa: Harkens back to a more simpler time, when the only way to show that you supported this site was to buy the crapp..., er, high-quality T-Shirts and mugs, then post an Av showing that you used it. The congruence of the message "get civilized" and the implied "drunkenly vomiting" position of the person in the picture sends the wrong message to the more impressionable among us. Like Zylka.

No, you need to change your name back to "Black Dragon." It was one of the coolest names in Apolotonic history. :

how egotistical do you think poly posters are to have a picture of themselves in their avatar. . JK of course, lots of people seem to have pictures of themselves in their avatar.

not bad, I recognize it, many younger poly posters probably had no idea who that is, or what it's from.

It gives me an idea though. Maybe I'll take a picture of myself with my gun, and use that as my avatar. My gun isn't as long as his though.
