I finally got enough posts and length of time being a member to get my avatar uploaded. I HATE being a newbie!
Well, we've had a lot of trouble in these parts with n00bs and images. Congrats on the accomplishment, though.
Oh, I know. I've been around enough forums (as member and mod), to see a lot of not-nice stuff perpetrated by new members and bots.
On another forum I go to, a woman posted a HUGE picture of her kitten's butt (tail up) asking if anyone could tell if the kitten was a boy or girl. Then this one jackass took that picture and made it his avatar. It was pretty childish and I think eventually the mods made him take it down.
Perhaps I've just decided that I'm happy without one. After all far better to lurk in the background rather than stand out.
I have had a cat's butt as my avatar for years. I even had one guy who complained about it in a thread.
Oh I would have loved to have seen that Miss Chicken And MacLeod you should run a contest of some sort and the winner gets to pick you an avatar you are required to use for one week. :: teacake enters contest 3000 times ::
A very beautiful tabby! As cute as cute can be. From what Sigokat described, I had the impression that it was a full on butt picture.
So cat butts are only offensive when they are full-on? What if they are almost full-on? What's the angular threshold at which it goes from "inoffensive" to "offensive"? How much of the anal disc must be visible to register offense?
I'm a Vet tech. I deal with more cat and dog butts than your average person. So, not too much would get to me.
Since the Internet was invented as a place to post cats, it makes sense that at the end of the Internet, you would find only cat butts.
If I remember correctly it was a thread in QS & F that was started because someone had an av showing someone's bum crack which was removed by a mod (?). It might have been a full moon. Someone complained that that was unfair because I was openly displaying a cat's butthole. My supporters came in saying "It is a cartoon cat', at which point the complainer wanted to know if he showed a cartoon man's bum hole would it be acceptable. It was quite a fun thread. However it was several years ago and I a certain it was so long ago that it won't be in the archives.
