I'm opening this poll early due to all the complaints about missing the poll last week. Voting closes 8pm GMT on Sunday, as usual.

What happened to Red Dwarf? If we're going to openly flaunt our nerdiness *cough*StarTrek*cough* it might as well be funny :)

On the other hand, I'm liking the way feet came out of nowhere :)

Aye, Red Dwarf's a good suggestion. As for the current choices, I voted Spectrum Games, although I'd prefer to cast a negative vote for owls and Firefox.

As for the generally annoying "Yay, Firefox" (which is yet to be yelled) here is my generally annoying "Nooo, not Firefox....again!" :bleh:

I'm going with Musicals this time.

"Yay, Firefox"

Happy?

We're a good team :bleh:

discworld characters?

Firefox have way more right to be there than most options. C'mon now people how could someone even think of having a week with feet as avatar? I find the idea so ridiculous it's actually revolting. :sick:

I voted Spectrum games again. Hopefully this week it will win. :D




Before I forget ...

Nooooooo. Not firefox :bleh:

Besides the whole Firefox thing, I totally agree with you. Havin feet as a theme would lead me to not participating in the theme. Although I wanted to participate in every I will not going to take feet as an avatar.

:eeeeeh: Spectrum games definitly.

Oh let's please not do games or firefox :\

Owls Owls Owls Owls Owls :D

Why do they only have 2 votes currently thats not right!

go speccy!

whose idea was "national costume" ??? weee ....


anway, looks like a tie .... but we have stll some time left.

Owls for crying out loud!

Im not satisfied with the quality of this poll. :not_ok:

Anyway, i vote for spectrum games.

Well yeah spectrum games = almos the same as 80's games...

Firefox: Boring! Old and boring
Musicals: omg!! musicals... horible
Spectrum Games: Dos games. same-old-same-old (or whatever than english expressions is)
Owls: Humor, originality, funny, cute, adorible, huggable, fun, cute!
Your National Costume: .....
Feet: Juck!

:Tom:

National costume!!!!!!!!
hmm... stubbies, thongs, corks tied to hat... something like that!

I so want to see owls win. The boards will be flooded with "O RLY" avatars. LOL

Who's game to have several people to have the same avatar if Owl win? I am. :sneaky:

Voted Spectrum Games

What's the national costume of england? A butler suit?

Ah there's a variety of them, more than you can imagine ;)

It's a football shirt, with jeans, which have curry stains on, of course!

Yeah i voted for national costume too, at least it's interesting.

Feet :D :tomato: That would be fun.

FIREFOOOOOOOOOOX

National Costume?

Awww... come on Owls.

I also voted owls. National Costume?

Ours?

Like Kearnsy said.
Could add, shorts, singlet and a beer gut.

And also one serious sun burn.

Owls


National costumes seem to lead...hmm,we have only regional AFAIK

I presume that "National Costume" will make it ... so here is my brand new Avatar!

<----

It shows one of the "Doskerkerls". A group of old man that relive the good old days (at least on festvials) of the place where I was born.
I really didn't want to post a Dirndl or Lederhosen for that's just for the south of Germany...

Fiiiiiiiirrrefoooooooxx...

Oh, to hell with it, can you people please vote Firefox so we don't have it again anytime soon? LOL

I actually have like 20 professional photos of me wearing our national costume.. But I threw my scanner away :(

Owls. We do NOT want to let it come to this...

All that owl muck's actually asking for despising it, y'know. It's dumb as a brick, and it's no fun at all getting slapped 'round the ears with it all the time.

Owls. Hail to the newest internet spam campaign :D

I think someone got beat up by an owl and hates their kind now :bleh:
Well I think it's funny. Some of the pics are stupid, but a lot of them are really funny.

It was funny the first few times, but now it's getting just as old and not funny as a joke that was told a million times in a row.

I must admit, that some of the owl pics still make me smile, but that mainly because of the owls, and not because the text. Of course, the real owls, not the ones that were humilated and disfigured beyond recognition through Photoshop.

It just like with every other craze on the net, like All Your Base or the Numa Numa Dance. It was funny when it started, but it is not funny anymore.

God, next they'll have an Owl dancing to Numa Numa saying "All Your Base Are Belong To Us".

Note: Don't even think about it.

Hell no, it's 8:00 GMT (way past even) and it's 10 votes for the owls, which means they won, I can't believe this <_<

*changes avatar accordingly*

I wanted to participate in every week, and I'm going to :tai:

[Edit]
OK, sorry Danny, but I just couldn't resist LOL

http://www.x-gamez.de/don_andy/numaRLY_AYB.png

Oh GOOD GOD NOOOOO!

AAAARGH!

*Runs away*

Yeah, Im not gonna tell you why Im screaming, the result or that damn pic ^_^

You... You... SCROOGE!!

I proclaim owls the winner. And Swiss, we also see the danger of assuming which option is going to win before time is up.

"Owls"? :blink: :crazy:

Ok, why not..... LOL

and there goes my Klingon Negh'Var ship :cry:

NOOOO!!! I WANT FIREFOOOOX

Yay Owls :P
Bleh have to start googling I ques.

NOO I WANT FIRE FOOOX

Well, at least it's owls and not Firefox :P

My owl is cute! :)

Ok, so which pic we should take to all get the same avatar for the duration of this week? :P

This is incredibly stupid. if i remember correctly we were supposed to pick subject everyone knew. so that with the picture, that would be according to the selected topic, we could show our personality (in a way). how are we supposed to do that with owls if we dont' know anything about them? moreover how are we supposed to show it to the rest who also dont' know anything about them?

sugestiuons like that are stupid. as far as the firefox goes what exactly is that? It's a programe for browsing internet! how can a that be an avatar theme? what are you going to do? are you going to use their logo? ok fine but what about the others? what are they going to put if you already took the logo?

suggestions should be such that everyone knows the topic well and that the topic has potential for many avatars instead of just one (like firefox). potential should be big enough so everyone could find themselves in it. and not just some bird lover or programme freek.

:wall:

ok, i fixed that now :D

owls is a cool theme ...

I suppose the logic would be that if it won the poll then there clarly are people who can get avatars for it. That's democracy. Anyway, I know bugger all about owls and yet can still appreciate the expressions on their beaky faces. There is lots of fanart etc connected with Firefox and clearly the people who keep voting for it have something in mind for their avatars.

Oh, and shut up punch.

I don't see why Firefox would be a problem. Here is the avatar I made and I should have displayed if it wasn't that people constantly keep voting for other themes because they lack imagination.

aside from a fox on fire i don't see what it has to do with firefox browser. :blink:

should i find a fox, put some petrol on it and lit it to get a firefox? no it would have to be the logo and there is only one logo. unless you do variations from it which is not the same anymore. if you showed me this picture without me knowing you are talking about that browser i would never connect it to it.

Well what about ZX spectrum games, how can they reflect your personality, do you think everyone here knows much about those games?
Also national costumes, or fruits, flies, how the heck can they reflect your personalities...
Musicals, now please tell me how in the world can that reflect your personality, or how much people even know about musicals???

I don't really know what's wrong with owls ,no you don't have to put O RLY and things like that on them...

Basically by your way of thinking the whole avatar week is stupid because there are always people who won't know much about the theme...

Well, I would say this is a good oportunity to "learn" something about it.... at least that's what I do, but maybe I'm just a "freak" :whistle:

Well, that's your problem/loss. :)

I actually made that avatar from this picture. It is related to Firefox in a big way.

Hum, I swear I posted in reply. Meh. LOOMERLY?

great picture!!! :w00t:

althougth has misleading representation of the statistics, but none the less great picture!!!


GO OPEN SOURCE!!! :cheers:

EDIT: with such picture i can easilly connect it (even without the words) but standalone...

Best (O RLY) owl pic so far, even a funny one. LOL

Oh, and I kind of miss Opera in that attacking picture :P

hey :w00t:

to increase the learning amount of the avatar weeks, what about adding a rule that every post made to the current thread MUST contain a fact about the theme?

I begin:

there are over 130 types of owls, spread on all continents except the AntArctis. most of 'em are nightly predators...

As you wish ;)

Here you go

This is especially about one annoying type of owls ;)

Well, considering I have liked about 2 themes so far, that would be a good way to stop me from even reading this thread.

I'm still trying to figure out and work around the fact that the poll only show the winner amount of votes at closure. It really is above my understanding.

Red Dwarf > Owls.
:bleh:

Facts=Less Participation
Less Participation=:(
:(= :not_ok:

I don't know what all this owl fuss is about, but please enjoy my photograph of an airship hangar under construction in Orly, France, in 1920-something. It could (and possibly did) house quite a number of owls.

Rebel against teh owls!!!!
REBEL!!!
Red dwarf! Red dwarf!

Installing Red dwarf... now.... :bleh:

Please don't rebel against the avatar theme by taking avatars of another theme. Red Dwarf stands a good chance of winning next week or a few weeks later so using up your Red Dwarf avatars now will defeat the point of the scheme.

<- Slightly delayed participation ahoy!

Delayed? You're nine days early.

here is my 2 cents (slavic peoiple should get it):

woul dsomeone car eto at least explain to me what's with the "Orlyi"? what does it mean? why do you have it written all over?

well, as you know 'O RLY?' means 'oh realy?' in geekspeak (or whatever it's called) ОРЛЫ is a letter fro letter transition of that into cyrilic, but it allso means 'eagles', which is sort of a praise.

in Polish ORLY means eagles as well, no praise in it though.
and there's a slight difference in spelling: ORŁY

i am not enough of a geek then...

yah "orel" is an eagle in slovenian and "orli" would be eagles. that's why i dont' get it.... ah never mind...

I don't see this happening to Firefox. :(

like I said, it's a kind of a parise.
Z.B.(for example):
"а что вы скажете о рядовом Иванове?"(and what about private Johnson?)
"орел!"(he's a fine man, I have full confidence in him.).

Hmm, but your avatar has an exclamation point, so shouldn't it be Я РЛЫ?:huh:

indeed, it does have an excalimation point...

about "Я РЛЫ", I fail to see your point. why should it have a Я ('Ya', like in "YAhoo") in front of it instead of an O(short 'o', like in "shOrts")? :blink:

BTW, can you tell the foremost owl is standing at attention?

Little suggestion from me:

We should start the next poll about tomorrow, that should give everyone enough time to vote ^_^

Yeah, that's what we did last week and I'll continue that trend. We'll have all the things we had last week plus anything else that people msuggest and I like. Start suggesting.

Favourite stand-up comedians?

spacecrafts.
red dwarf.


NOT firefox! :ranting:

NOT Firefox
Red Dwarf, Spectrum games, clowns, superheroes, traditional people (like monk/kozzak/geisha/samurai/jaguar warrior/etc), smilies, movie characters

How about repeating the owls... :ph34r:

You want to get your head flushed down the toilet then? Don't suggest that muck again. Ever.

Read the sig. Repeat.

what does seb have to do with this? :blink:

Heh, not that one :D

Because "Oh, really?" is a question. "Yeah, really" isn't.
Never mind.:tomato:

Thank you...

RED DWARF!!

Just a subtle suggestion :angel:

Spectrum games
Musicals

:max:

For next week: kitties :)

Red dwarf


also insects...

Well, I still suggest C64 games and 80's cartoons (they have been getting more votes then Firefox - until somebody decided not to enclude them in polls anymore).

How about kitsch, in every form possible?

Oh, I second that, kitsch is a good idea!

What's a kitsch? And I have an idea. Firefox.
