Personally I blocked Darth Bob's and Gwar's.

Aww, you're no fun.

Hey man, not all of us want to see a pelvis-thrusting furry every time he posts.

hey, guys, who are you talking about?

There talking about Gwar!

i changed mine to something better to look at (and it fits my rank )

damn snipers, the tau troops are better than they are

Hmm. Since my original question has now been quite simply answered (use an animated gif!) the much more interesting question of who has the best, most annoying avatar etc prompts me to think: How about a poll or competition? Categories could include best homemade, best themed, most silly, most memorable, most missed etc. What do you think?

If you have Chrome, you can do ctrl+shift+K and then a little thing pops up. You can then click on whatever you want to block. (For instance, Gwar's weird furry avatar)

Then you click "block it" on the little pop up and it's gone!

It's free.

2nd Gimp. Just started using it and I like it a lot

yes but.......melee.


'nuff said.

oh yeah? you seen to have forgot comander farsight.

Don't know what his stats are. if you could even have him in your army.

don't care.

it is still 'nuff said


lets stay on topic ok?

Yeh, I suggest if you are going to argue, take it to PM.

in honour of this thread I got an avatar which moves.

Also thanks to GWAR mentioning gimp I figured out how to resize it so it would move..

Does no one use Opera? Adblock built in, can download lists for it, can rightclick a page and click "block content" then select exactly what you want dead. Has an IRC and email client built in and has a whole lot of other nice features. Oh, and it's rather lightweight.

Firefox has that too, except you don't have to have the IRC Client if you don't want it and can add so much more.

Personally I enjoy Gwar!'s little humping fox-thing. There's a bit of cognitive dissonance between that image and a lot of his posts, which really entertains me.

Well, malfred's old manpurse avatar is clearly most missed.

But I didn't make my avatar, I found it on the web. If you want to find an animated avatar, just google animated avatars or .gif avatars and something should come up.

Yours and the "Boom Headshot" one were the first two I blocked. I think I've only actually blocked like four, since few people really have them. I've also blocked the various Adoptables people had in their sigs.

OK how about this for a challenge. Animate one (or more) of your minis to reflect your current online "rank".
Any takers?

I'll do it when I've finished my Space Pope model.

not me. it already does without animation.

I sadly do not own any WHFB models, otherwise I would animate the Ye OldeTrolle Kinge :(

Speaking of ye Olde Trolle, I preferred your "Gwar aged 9" avatar, even if it wasn't animated. Anyway, I'm off to give it a go.

OK so it took me all day, and the demo charge is a bit meh, but it's here! Demo charging drop trooper takes out deamon prince (and himself at the same time).

I quite like it

Watching the deamon prince "doing a twirl" gives me an idea. For P&M blogs, show off threads etc do an animated gif to show a 360 view of your model(s). No sneaking off to do it now (it is valentines after all) but I have an idea this could really add something extra without too much bother. Oh well, next time..

This thread is great - now I can find all the annoying avatars in one thread! *blockblockblock*

*animated plevic thrust towards The Dreadnote*
oh yeah? you cant block the thrusting trooper

Cmon man you know you want an animated gif

I had a few problems to start with. I found that checking pixel size was important (120 x 120 pixels max)
I am now trying to do bigger animated gifs of models.
Not sure it will work but here goes,,
