Avatar picture nicking - it's just wrong!

[CookMySock]

Biter is the term you are looking for. I had the same thing - oops, someone else has the same avatar. It was a bit of a surprise I guess.

Shrug, avatars are throwaway things to me anyway.. use them and chuck them out when I find a better one.

My Avatar got nicked within hours of me starting to use it. To be fair to the guy that stole it, he left a green bling behind. He's a scouser and they are know for these kind of things.

I didn't own the picture in the first place so no complaints.

Yeah mashman eh?
I normally can scroll down a page and go by the avitar and know who has posted, but in your case, at times it will be mashman.

But I noticed a few weeks later that another member was using the exact same picture for his avatar as well. Co-iniki-dink I thought? "FUCK NO THE BASTARD HAD JUST PLAIN COPIED ME!"

Two people having the same avatar could be annoying, but how do you know if they coppied you or simply used the same (freely available) picture from the internet.

I do get where you're coming from, I kinda think of this avatar and the other LOTR one I use as being "mine", but I don't have copyright rights on them so there's bugger all I can do if some noob comes along and decides to use one of them..... except cry quietly into my cornflakes.

Exactly.

Exactly.

come on! youll have him crying now

[bogan]

there was that rossi gif doing the rounds near end of last years motogp, bout 4 or 5 people had that I think, I would have jumped on the bandwagon but the rocking out cat one is too awesome to give up.

So in summary, if it was an avatar i'd made, yeh i'd be fucked off if someone took it, but one I'd found off the net, nah, its all good bro.

Now that made me laugh. Good on yer!

Now pay me zillions of dollars - as I apparently own the intellectual rights.

Or just call me a whaaambulance.

Aye aye it is.

Your previous avatar used to freak me out - the little red monkey looking thing jiggling in the doorway - what was that thing?

[mattian]

you know the puppet "animal" was actually inspired by a real drummer called Carmine Apice..... quite a famous session drummer.

just a little pointless trivia for yous

Think it was a muppet with Ronald McDonald's face on it. Search "wtf animated gif" on Google and you'll find it ;-)

Enough fun, changing back the avatar now.


Speaking of which, time to "make" a new GIF avatar....

Sure about that? All the wisdom I've ever heard says it was Keith Moon.
And to cock a snook at the devil, no-one's been game to use my avatar. Going on 5 years now.
