Want a avatar day?

I remember in the first year after I joined, there were avatar days...such as

Black and White avatar day.

Upside down avatar day

No avatar day

1st custom Avatar day

Inverted avatar day

Simtropolis default avatar day.

and so on...

I was wondering...would anyone like to have this happen again?

They are completely harmless and fun to see how many people will do it

So...does anyone want to have another one?

edit: it seems people are willing to participate in another one..so...I've added another poll to decide on what kind of avatar day to do.

edit2: New poll up! go vote!

    Ok...I see someone want's more info(or mis voted...ethier way...I'll respond)

    Back a few years ago...there were avatar days...on that day(or for the weekend) you would change your avatar for the event...for example...for upsidedown avatar day...on the set day...everyone would replace thier current avatar's with the same avatar, only a upsidedown version of it. Then swap it the avatar back to the original.

    A more simple one was to replace the avatar with thier default ST avatar(which wouls still apply since people used the ST defaults when it was upgraded to 5)

    Even if you wont be online on the day...you can swap your avatar early and then swap it back to the original afterwords...

    and it's completly voluntary...so it's not like you have to do it if you don't want to.

    I hope this is a good enough explination.

    Count me in Rymac!  I remember the old avatar days, and this is just the kind of thing we need around here.  What a wonderful idea!

    I think it's a fine idea, Rymac.  

    What kind of an avatar day is it going to be?  One of the ones you listed or a new one? 

    And when?  People might need some time to adjust their avatar.


    We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyzes: “I am talking with you in order to persuade you.” No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity.

    How about, 'trade an avatar day'. Where you swap with someone else for a day? quote>

    Sounds like fun! I'm sure Simen and Glenni would be glad to play that game! 3.gif

    LOL - Leave it to you to think of that. 3.gif

    Swap an avatar sounds good.  Maybe we could expand that though to include signatures like Glenni and Simen did once. 18.gif

    I'm all for it; swap an avatar day sounds like a lot of fun.  If we're going to do that, maybe a community announcement on the homepage would help get it some community awareness.3.gif

    Well, it has been quite a while since we've done one of those.

    And this swapping business certainly hasn't been done before.

    though, I dunno who else would want Megaman headbanging....21.gif
