Gimmicks

Post by the_zoomies » Sun Dec 06, 2020 2:25 am

I thought it'd be fun to change avatars just like my beloved arti. Especially looking at that dog each time before posting.

However, after a discussion with someone I thought it might actually be annoying.

If you can be as objective as possible, I'd appreciated it. Like not if my new form is annoying, but if it bugs you in general

But does my switching IDs inconvenience you?

Glad you like the quote, we pretend our older dog says it all the time.

other than that not really for me personally

I didn't notice the username change for a while, I thought he just changed avatars

It's like if we had exactly one user who posts in Spanish instead of English
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

in a technical sense that's an animated rank banner and not an animated avatar you've got there

Not positive I agree.

For things that don't infinitely scale (eg: we can't all change our names every log in, anon), there's a first mover advantage. "That's arti's thing, and only they get to play in that space, more people doing it would be annoying"

I do not think that if every user on this forum rereggred at 2k posts it would clear the bar of becoming annoying.

Now perhaps this would stop being true with a larger userlist, but well that would be a nice problem to have, wouldn't it

on the other hand if every user used an animated avatar that would be pretty annoying, because after adblocking them all I wouldn't know who anyone was

Clearly the pro move if one feels that way about animated avatars is to pick out replacement still avatars yourself and use your extension to insert them
