As a joke, it would be fun to say something about it being my duty to serve the booty.

But I won't do that. ;)

on clicking on " i don't care " i was at first thinking, it's their boards, they own it, they pay for it, etc....but then i remembered that a handful of people donated their own money to make VV a bigger and better and faster place...

personally i really don't care. i come to VV to read the threads and sometimes post something retarded. i don't even look at the avatars half the time.

if you view these boards at work, it is at your own risk. no one is forcing you to log in at work.

I agree with the NWS rules, but I don't care about the sizes.

Voted yes.
I don't care so much to what people post, as long as it's labled NWS if it's nws. Avatars aren't.

I voted yes as a temp solution. Merely for the fact that the NWS avatars needed to be dealt with. Beyond that, no, I don't agree at all.

So size doesn't matter to you? Meaning 200K+ avatars/sigs you can agree with?

To be completely honest, I personally don't care about the size. I'm always on a high speed connection, so it's not a big deal to me.

Having said that, the fact that it's an important issue for other users on the board makes it worth supporting a size restriction.

I don't really care. But I voted yes in spite of the people who are such whiney bitches about having their avatars taken away. Who the fuck cares, you can find something other than women rubbing their boobs and spreading their legs for your fucking avatars.

Honestly, I have 1.5MB DSL at home and T1 at work. The female groping avatars were much higher on my shit list than 200k avatars.

That's not to say I don't care. I'd prefer all avatars under 50k, but it's less of an issue to me at the moment.

I have high-speed as well so they didn't really affect me. But I realize not everyone is so lucky.

Yes, I read that just fine the first time. But the original message I quoted had you saying that other than NWS avatars you didn't agree with the change. Which is why I was seeking clarification.

Damn the man!

Cid's avatar should be grandfathered in. Only exception.

Heh, it was the female groping avatars that were 250-350k.
WTF, if everyone had a 300k avatar you'd be dowloading 6-7 megs of completely useless shit for every fucking thread.

the concept NWS should be defined and then etched in stone, then the rest of the world can have a good laugh at what amish choirboy daycarecenter corporate america has turned into.

Those animated avatars were clips from porno movies, just before the clothes came off. I don't know how much more NWS you can get. Cid's avatar, honestly, I have no problem with. Those I do. Call me a hypocrite if you want, but in my uninformed and self centered opinion, those crossed _that_ line.

Well, so far only 13 people voted a firm 'No'.

VV has always been a (mostly) self-policing community. The members of the community are who influence things around here (to a certain extent). Seems the majority think some people should limit their NWS shenanigans to the appropriate place. Which was created for that very reason. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable request to me. And from the votes (thus far), to most of the other people here.

Is mine considered NWS? It's rather out of focus and I actually asked one of my managers if they had a problem with it, which she didn't, but then she saw some of the others. I can change mine if needed. My only problem with my avatar are the constant requests for the other pictures...
