Feel more than welcome, friend.

disappearance of avatars? On the eleven posts above this one, we see avatars on nine of them.

@Ellri

They were reuploaded after the disappearance.

There are several countries located within the overarching Kingdom of the Netherlands. Officially, these include several Carribean island nations next to the European mainland country. Unfortunately, these official arrangements don't include a well-known and established fact, namely that Amsterdam isn't really a part of the rest of the Netherlands, and us superior Amsterdam citizens see the rest of the Dutch as incompetent yokel farmer peasants. I don't associate with these Visigoths.

Totem

Postefrappucino'd. Wrote it at work, don't have the time to look up colour codes and the like here. Apologies for the bland, white post. EDIT: Changed my post(s) up slightly after collaborating with @Fairess.

Totem

Rook pinched the bridge of his nose with the fingers of his left hand, his other hand resting on the pommel of a sheathed ketra blade. Adele made some good points, but she still sounded more like a civilian than a mercenary. Life-threatening danger always lurks around every corner, he thought to himself. That's why people hire us. It's why we're armed to the teeth. "Of course I care about your safety," he said. "And my own," he added as an afterthought. "Which is why I've got knives strapped to every limb and this," he voiced in a whisper as he pulled his totem from beneath his shirt, "around my neck." Rook put the totem away and looked around to make sure nobody else had seen it. "It twitches when danger is about to strike and it's been motionless the entire journey. We are not in any immediate danger." He paused and cocked his head, listening to the voice of master Hemming as it drifted over from the caravan. Eyes pointedly fixed on Adele's, Rook shrugged when the man was done explaining his side of the story. "Well, there you go," Rook said. "Maybe he's withholding information, or maybe he's right and he's not actually being hunted. Either way," he spoke with a tone of finality, "it is not our place to judge and argue. And I'm sorry for any perceived tactlessness on my part, it was not my intention to upset you any further," he muttered. "Come, let's return to the group." And with that, Rook turned and walked back to the caravan.

<Snipped quote by LegendBegins> I was meaning something more like how Mahz announced things to us before the creation of this thread- a text-box on the main page, not in a thread, up the top, containing important news. Such measures would only be used for important announcements, of course, such as letting everyone know why their avatars have all disappeared. Then again, I'm not sure how people who haven't been following this thread have reacted to the disappearance of their avatars, or if more people are following this thread than I realise.

@BBeast

Agreed. It wasn't very pretty but it worked.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Anyone know why no one has avatars anymore?

@Inuyasha

@Mahz, what's up with this? Was that part of the changes to hosting your own images?

Totem

Damn, son. My sympathies.

hilarious memes!

@The Patriarch

I'll let someone else answer this one. I don't find low-hanging fruit to be satisfying.

@Doivid

Don't worry, my sweet, I've got your back.

THE PATRIARCH YOU ARE DUMB AND YOU HAVE THE SENSE OF HUMOR OF A TWELVE YEAR OLD THAT HAS RECENTLY DISCOVERED 4CHAN AND THINKS EVERY PICTURE WITH A CAPTION IS FUNNY, ALSO A "MEME" HAS TO ACTUALLY BE MEMETIC (I.E. TO SPREAD THROUGH VERBAL OR NON-VERBAL ACTION WITHIN A CULTURE BY REPETITION WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF A SELF-EXPLANATORY FORMULA)

If you aren't judging people by their aggregate ratings, then why do you assume it's an issue everyone else is going to struggle with but you?

@Mahz

I don't. I just think it's entirely unnecessary. I'm sure I'll get used to it in due time, as I've gotten used to everything else, but my initial reaction is basically "y u do dis".
