I'd also like to make the statement that too much blinking and flashing is not required. The topics are about replies and comments, not neon lights. :wink:

I agree with that. Animated GIF's become annoying after a while. I'm tired of seeing that "Disco Dancing Master Chief" from Halo, for example. It was funny the first couple of times, but now it's just an annoying distraction. It's like watching a fly repeatedly landing on your screen, but you can't swat it for fear of damaging the LCD display! :roll:

Edit: 1000th post! YAY! <runs out of house and looks in direction of Canada, where UESP is based> No orbital fireworks? Shame. <slouches back into house, disappointed, with pet lip trailing on ground>

"ICU Unit" means "Intensive Care Unit Unit".

And, judging by my avatar, my self-repairing/regenerative abilities means that even an "ICU" is redundant repetitively. (repetitive redundantly? hmmm...)

Staying on-topic, animated GIFs designed to be distracting, the ones intended to pull one's eyes away from the text, can weaken the impact of that text. Remember, people will remember you by the intellectual impact you bring, not by some flashy avatar that you'll change eventually in a bid to garner more attention (should I go back to my original, the one of Nicole Kidman in the steampunk biker leather?).

Posts made in only the actual elder scrolls games are counted. Posts made in the general section are not counted.

Oh... I've been mostly posting in the Skyrim area... So because thats not an actual game yet, they don't count?

Before I say it's time to get back on topic, a bit about post count since it seems to concern many: there's a poll at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=20174&start=0&view=viewpoll, and discussion about it at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=19450. Let's take post count there while here...

... we get back on topic: Avatar updates. :D

10 posts and 7 days...

...or, if you introduce yourself, then the moderators know you are new (and not an adbot), and will add you to the confirmed users list. Link to Welcomes topic:

JJSmart and PerPenger: I added you to the Confirmed Users group.

To everyone: we no longer add new members in Confirmed Users automatically when they announce themselves in Welcomes and Goodbyes. That policy is out.

Finally, anyone here who heard about the word TOPIC? Hip, hip, hooray, back to it. :wink: Otherwise I have to get serious?
