Guest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 So a few days ago as I was checking the forums, I noticed the increasing amount of people who didn't care enough to change their avatar from the default one. Specifically, I noticed our very own Moderator zhurai using it, and was inspired. In the interest of spicing up our forums, I presented an the idea of me making a new one to Nayleen, who enthusiastically approved. I took the picture from a scene in the original animation Angel Beats, where Yui sings My Soul, Your Beats (Yui Rock Version) but fails in the end when she ends up with her neck consticted with her own microphone cord. Using the same color codes and font that our beloved Aaeru used for our banners, I created this here new "Default Photooooo" that all our new members will be able to enjoy. (Note: The extra 'o's were meant to keep to the same number of letters as in "Fuwanovel", yet at the same time mimic Yui's groan as she strangles herself in the anime.) Enjoy it guys~!(Gotcha ZuZu~!) ~Naomi~
zhurai Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 gg for a game I didn't know I was playing (until she told me XD) (yeah, the "Gotcha" part of it was I finally changed my default avatar as you see......to a blank , although that's what they wanted anyhow~)
Stanleys Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Needs more blood. And intestines. As entertaining as the reactions could be, I think the goal is to attract new members, not scare them off by thinking they wandered into a blood cult

Stanleys Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 You know, considering how many eroge heroines are virgins, you might be on to something with the "blood cult"... That... actually makes sense. Except the blood for our sacrifices don't include death.
Mevvrynne Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 That... actually makes sense. Except the blood for our sacrifices don't include death. Glory to Lord Kaguya.
RusAnon Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Oh, so thats who is responsible for this atrocity. It fucking replaced my beloved gravatar with some fugly shit, and moreover forums are full of this stuff now, causing my eyes to bleed. Using such tactics against own users is very bad idea.
Lewycool Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Best default picture ever !!! I approve 100%
Zodai Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I think the colored text makes it difficult to read. But other than that, it's good :3
Nayleen Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Very mixed feelings about it it seems. @RusAnon: I disabled Gravatars for the time being so people even see this, because Gravatar keeps displaying the old one regardless of what I try - its cache simply doesn't expire. Gravatars will be back, that I promise and am very sorry to have caused you problems. Thing is I really liked this idea because people who don't like it might be more inclined to switch to a more personal avatar, and at this point I think really everyone should have one since basically every service and every site does use avatars. I also can't really gauge how popular or unpopular Naomi's avatar is if only people who like it reply here - so I'm asking everyone who reads this to give their opinion about it, though especially if you dislike it.

It lacks carnal goodness

Like I said before, I like it for the most part - but the text/color of the text is distracting. Maybe do something to make it more readable/less intrusive?
REtransInternational Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 One expression describes the feeling of seeing it for the first time: LOL On the other hand, those who aren't accustomed to it may be confused that it's just one user who is using that image for the fun of it. Wouldn't mind it though; it's cute and friendly.
Darklord Rooke Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Wouldn't mind it though; it's cute and friendly. Really? The face is covered up with words. I think faceless girls fall under the 'horror' tag, not the kawaii tag. If what you want is cute and friendly, I suggest something like the following Valentine's Day inspired drawing
