For the month of January, be awesome and use a real picture of yourself as your avatar!

More civility and tolerance! Instant friendships! Longer lifespan and better accuracy in FPSs!

For nostalgia: Real Pic January! Part 1

Well, I hope it's okay if we have a new thread. :< Did anyone get an answer from a mod about it? If they have a good reason why we shouldn't have another thread...

I would've expected a post in the old thread before lock if there were any problems...

Opiate my apologies if I have done wrong, precious

Well, I've only talked to you and Sentry, and I didn't hear anything either.

edit: Can we have a link-back to the old thread in the OP?

Was wondering why the first one was prematurely closed, but whatever

Anywho, Beauty and the Beast 3D was awesome. And the best part: kids were behaving themselves!

Now where's my Aladdin 3D Disney?

Having this conversation with H.Protag on the LadyGAF advises ManGAF thread. My theory is that creeperGAF struck again.

I will be participating in this thread now that I can see it from it's inception.

CAN SOMEBODY MAKE A LIST OF IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN THE OLD THREAD?

Hurray! (Unless this gets shut down immediately...) I came back and was very confused at the locked thread.

As I've been saying in the Lady-Gaf advises Man-Gaf thread, i think this 'real pic' idea has been very positive (mostly anyway), and I liked the genial vibe of the thread.

Sorry I didn't include enough HD bullshots and DLC info...

Wait what?

I find your lack of avatar disturbing... what happened?

Ducky was one of the ones to get a creepy PM. But with the exception of her and .la1n, I don't think anyone else reported getting any.

Oh yeah! And the Haikus! I'll get to work prettying it up now. Anybody who'd like to help me out with links to Sentry's posts and other highlights of the old thread, GO!

Wholeheartedly agree. Being able to "see" who you're talking to in a sense seems to raise the threshold before anyone will consider being disrespectful. I really enjoy it.

I knew something was missing.

But even so, it's like the Post Pics of Yourself thread: voluntary and creepers can be ignored or reported to a mod.

That is true, but idk closing the old thread early seems weird.


Also Devo if you ever read this post, I haven't forgotten about the challenge I'm just busy painting my house so I'll get that picture taken...sooooooooon.

So, 20,000 posts in 15 days, surely some kind of record? Here we are, entering the second half of the month- older, wiser, more polite than ever. Can the momentum be sustained or was the movement showing signs of fizzling out? Will the RP experiment spark a new GAF tradition or be cut down in its prime?

New Year feels like so long ago.

No idea. At first I got a "Maintenance" error, but now it says it's a Database Error, which is much more serious. No word yet from the tech side, but if it's not back up by Monday then we might have a problem. I'm investigating, but I can't do much from my side until I'm back in the office tomorrow.

As for the eroge stuff, don't rag on the guy. He wanted to suggest it on twitter, and I told him we probably couldn't/wouldn't but that we look at every suggestion, so he was welcome to post it in the proper thread on the forums.

Is it a record? Definitely the fastest moving thread I've ever seen. :) A very fun, comfortable place. I like meeting new people on here, and RP is very accessible.

We should make a point to post in other threads too, though. I worried before about the perception that we were cliquey (I don't agree with this) and didn't really spread past the thread. Always a good idea to greet new RP peeps that venture in as well instead of getting completely caught up in our pizza discussions. ;P

Do I feel hurt for being left out of BlackGAF despite being one of the first to breakout my real pic? No. Not really. :|

Unless I'm missing something, the previous thread was locked (as all large threads are) when the post count nears 20k, so as to make it play nice with the database.
