A note about avatars.
« on: April 06, 2003, 12:07:35 PM »
I had a juicy little avatar that I really liked until about a 15 minutes ago. Cute chicks in swimsuits, mmmmmm.

Somehow I had forgotten about how many kids play this game.

Even though you didn't see anything in my avatar that you can't see on public television, I feel stupid knowing I posted it in a forum that is bound to attract a few kids.

I'm not trying to dictate what avatar anyone uses. But I really don't think I would want my kid seeing some of the ones in here.

So it's back to 'Old Glory' for me.

Just something to think about for you all that have little gifs flashing around that go along the same lines mine did.

LMAO! Yeah, you nailed it Sandman. :)

But nobody from HTC said anything about it. That post from Hawklore about turning 15 drove it home.

Got kids of my own. Even though I'd never turn a 15 y/o kid loose on the internet unsupervised, I still gotta respect the parents that trust their kids a little more than I see fit. It's a free country.

But I don't think kids should see stuff like I had in my avatar.

Well... if it wasn't changed by HTC, I wasn't quite right. :)

Furball, what do you mean "when I was 15"? Heck, I'll watch girls in bikinis until I go blind! :D

But that isn't the point. The thing is some parents let their kids play online games such as this one because they see no harm in a flight sim. Which there isn't any harm in a flight sim.

The problem is that people like me forget that kids will play this game (sign up for the boards, ect...), and post some things here that we really would not want our own children exposed to.

So why post for any child that might see it? I'm sure there are some in our ranks here that are under 15...14...13...

People can use whatever pictures they want here. I'm just not going to post things I don't see fit for every age group, just in case.

Ahhhhhh...I had one of the best ones on the board, and you know it.

That is until common sense kicked in.
