I'm fine with the animu, but lose the moeblobs and get some GAR up in here.

[perihelion]

Allons-y!

You're all so beautiful...

Phantom Hoover: I give you credit for your little gag there. You had me fooled there for a second as well. But now I'm going to have to be an evil tyrant and create a new rule for avatars.

"Badges that are normally given out by project leads or staff meant to show meaningful contribution to a project or to HLP itself, are not allowed in the avatar without permission. Even if you have totally good intentions, it can create confusion among those that may not be familiar that you are not actually part of the project or staff position."

So I'm going to have to ask you to change it in the next 24 hours or so.

Also just generally to add to the rule, if you want to make up a badge for something you're involved with that isn't hosted on HLP and throw it in your avatar, that should be acceptable.

Technically correct, but technically you still have project badges in your avatar.

[Hades]

Avatars? OOOOHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Mongoose]

Now that **** is more like it.

Avatars was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

So turn them off. You were told how to in the first post.

[Axem]

I'm 99.9% sure that comment was made in jest and referencing this...

[karajorma]

Fair enough. On another note, if you want to discuss politics on HLP, the new forum is open.

With this now in, will we be returning Gen Disc to the unread posts page? And/or can we opt in to unread topics on this and Gen Disc.?

[karajorma]

I think we probably can return it. That way people who don't want it can opt out again.

+100 for this

Anyone object to some variant of the HLP logo?

[Axem]

I don't think so, since a number of other people have inserted it into their avatars, but just the HLP logo alone is so plain! Jazz it up!

Anyway, I want to thank Spoon and -Joshua- very much for helping move topics around to and from the new releases boards. Missions and Campaigns is totally moved, and Modding is moved up to around 2009. We might continue to move modding threads past 2009 just for posterity, but the link rot gets super heavy by then.

You two are mega-amazingly-super-awesome. (Have some gold stars)

The rise of the weebs.

It's a good development.

For what it's worth, I thought it was pretty good
