He can change them as often as he likes. But I really do think that if someone uses an avatar someone else is already using (or has just been using), they should modify it slightly so as to make it distinct. Add a mustache or something.

Look, it's all just fun and games, and so long as no-one uses my avatar (technical Taylor514ce's) or starts to write in binary or morse code or some weird childhood pidgin because that hurts my brain and gives me migraine, in which case I'll come and get you or at least if the latter then after I've finished lying in bed going "ngngngngngngngngngngngngngngng..." and when I do get you I'll strap you into a chair and force you to watch every Will Ferrell movie ever made and then I'll feed your nuts to the squirrels and if you don't have any nuts I'll sew some on and then feed them to the squirrels and then I'll make you watch all the Will Ferrell movies again and I'm not specifically looking at you VR because you're a nice doggy and I'd never do that to you even though my promises are written on soggy Kleenex and my memory is shorter than The Guide To Will Ferrell's Humour.

It's all fun and games until someone loses their googlies.

Hey, have you seen the trailer of that big budget movie that's all about avatars? I think it's called "Attack Of The Angry CGI Smurfs".

Cheers,
Marc

I may be baaaaaad but I'd never risk having to watch Will Ferrell (doggie throws up a little in mouth at the thought). Looks like your avatar is safe, Marc.

I've been looking forward to that one. Apparently there's new Smurfs. And more than one girl-Smurf. Discuss.

(The other one about the avatars looks interesting too)

i've heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (plus marc is so much better at effective threats than i am) so i've taken my inspiration from him on the subject of audio avatars. (plus, since he'd probably be the first in line for this hare-brained scheme, the irony is quite delicious).

'S okay, my good little puppy dog. I'd probably look at your big brown bacon-loving eyes and forgive everything (or forget - six of one; half a dozen of the other really).

I hated Smurfs. Perhaps it's wrong, but I always thought that they were the only thing that'd ever get me interested in golf (or at least get use out of its equipment).

But, yes, the movie looks BIGSCREENTACULAR.

Oh, the delicious irony. Of course, I'd feel delighted to provide whatever assistance is required to enact musical ABBA-avatars, but then of course obliged to perform my duties and carry out the threats of our dearly-loved, pacifist queen.

I'm no stranger to self-abuse.

Wait, that came out wrong.

The best way to incorporate sound in an avatar, is to allow you to upload a SWF as an avatar. Then you can include sounds.

But imagine having 15 diff swf avatars talking/singing/yodeling at the same time!

No problem, as long as we all decide to use the same Abba-song in honor of Queen Z...

Oh my, do the abuse involve a bucket of lard, a litter of hedgehogs and a number 5 wrench dipped in chocolate?
