Avatars and titles (merged)
 

Beetween the big "***" like Navy Dude, and now that tranny "Wild night in Bangkok" I really think you could find better. I really don't look like that.
May I please get another one ? THANK YOU VERY MUCH......

Thank you for having been very quick.

Now,... this one looks ravaged by H.I.V.
NOT GOOD.
I don't know, you have hundreds of them...

Your avatar changes in response to a set number of posts. It's one of the neat things about SubSim. Don't worry, we all went through it. Wait until you get the Medic.

Of course, you could always donate to SubSim and get a custom avatar if you really don't like the system.

By the way, I think that the Planesman avatar is from Aces of the Deep.

I typed out a long reply, only to find Tak beat me to it.:damn::rotfl:

The 'Wild Night' avatar only lasts one post, #179.

Was just teasing a bit...
But true, went through a bunch of not so cool ones.
Am not too rich, if it was not money, would have made a donation since a long time. But well, I'm not giving up the idea, and it's not only a question of getting a perso avatar...

I'm not rich either. ;) Donations keep this site online, everyone has to do their part.

I got the message, Neal will do that in the coming weeks. Just watch me.

( incidentaly, is there a thread somewhere that give your address, cause it will be cash money ? )

Would this address be OK ? :

Neal Stevens
5108 Woodville Ln
Pearland TX, 77584

Yes, that's Subsim Central.

And thanks, mate, your help is appreciated, specially now with me being unemployed and all. :shucks:

I'm sorry to learn that you lost your employement ( Oil industry if I remember )

About my little contribution : If I send it to this address, I hope I can be sure it gets in your own hands, YES ??

NOW SERIOUSLY :

You should hammer the member more often ( not too often though, as it might upset some ), but there should be a smarter way to draw their attention to that ( It only cought my attention, when I went to this forum, but most members never go to "Comments to subsim" or other forums, they stay on SH3, SH4 etc...)
You get 6.5 % from Amazon, and I recon a lot of members buy a lot of games, book at Amazon, without knowing they could do some good to you and Subsim...
Not many members know about that and I recon there must be a way to put an incentive to all members, to pay attention to this. But I'm not a specialist, and would'nt allow to give you advises...
You're doing a great job, and, as for myself, have spent countless hours of happiness on this site.
May be it would cost you a bit of money initially, but may be you could try to have a track among all the members, the ones that have posted in this last year or year and a half, and E-mail them about this.
You can do that also for new members ( imperative I think )
And make a sticky about that ( Probably double-sized letters ) on every forum, and not only on one, and on top of all the others....
I don't know, You're the boss, and I can't say or do anything else beyond that.

Also, as I posted in an other thread, I would be interrested ( may be it's answered by now, but don't remember the name ), to buy other Sims like 688 or DW, or books , but I don't have a credit card.... It's a pain for me believe me
If I send you money to the above address, and give you the money in advance, would you be able to send me the ditto games or book.
Be sure I hate having to ask for a special treatment...

Thanks for an answer whenever you can.

I was referring to my post in that thread :

Third Post on a row, sorry. Must have a slow brain today... :oops:

Neal :

Take the brighter side of the situation :
You lost your job but it's fortunate you still have Subsim, otherwise you would really be left with nothing...

:salute:

Avatars and titles
 

Can you change the avatars? Or at least the titles under them? I see some people have custom titles underneath... does a mod have to do that?

Yes you can change the Avatar and what it says beneath by making a donation to SUBSIM :yep:

From the SUBSIM FAQ:

Once you have an image you like, 60 x 60 pixels and a title, send it off to Neal. Also, let him know you'll be donating so
he can look for this as well.

Nice bonnet by the way :D
