Hi all,

I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in maintaining this forum. It is one of the most organized forums i participate in. It would also be redundant to say that it is very complete and informative. As far as the TW series goes there is no other to match.

The only thing that confuses me a bit are the avatars. I read about the rules but I still don't understand why you can only have a custom avatar after 500 posts. And even then i don't see many people using it.

Imagine going to a meeting and once you enter the room you find out that everyone has the same face They have different names but the faces are the same You have to keep looking at the person badge to know who you are talking to.

The first few days here i was like: Wow this guy answers all the questions, Strange, only a few guys exchange messages here.... Thats because I only looked at the avatars and not the names. Your eyes are driven to the images first whenever you look at a magazine, newspaper or a web page.

In my opinion avatars should be unique like our faces.

The information on the New? Please read this first thread is a little out of date. We recently changed it so that once you get to Member status, usually a week or two after you are promoted to Senior Patron, you can change your avatar.

Hey gregoshi, i've been here like a week, don't you go to the dungeon/engineers guild.
I've only been posting in the entrance hall since yesterday, but i've been hanging out with BKB and Barocca in the engineers guild for awhile.

Inuyasha, no, I rarely venture outside the Entrance Hall unless I'm looking for something to help a patron. Not that I don't want to, it is just I spend all my time reading your and amir's posts. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

Don't forget to change your control panel > account options > board skin to Custom Avatar.

This means you get to see the pretty pictures people make for their own avatars or, since clever old Tosa Inu changed it, the avatars they have chosen from the standard list for themselves.

Welcome to the Org all of you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
