Yeah, sorry if it doesn't come across that way, but that's basically what I'm trying to argue for I AM grateful people made the forum, and obviously a forum about StC-O is also a forum for StC. It really just felt like in the 3, 4 years before this anniversary the "StC-O" part kinda fell away and the forum was only used to carry on the usual friendship conversations on the Lounge and the occasional retrospective. So what you're saying is you don't want this to be the STC/STC Online board that any STC fan out there can feel at home on any more, you want it to be a general forum mainly for the people who used to post about it. Glad we got that out of you.

I'll resize it for you. It'll only take a few minutes. While I'm on it: Shay, I uploaded the wrong version of Caterkiller. I resized it to 100x100, and somehow uploaded the slightly larger one by mistake. :S EDIT: Mission accomplished!

Can we remove these custom avatars? Bring back the locked down days of STCO only ones.

I'd rather we first had the old forum design back instead of the messy, blocky one we have now. STCO only avatars fit way better back then, it was remarkably pleasing to look at. Nowadays, I feel adhering to that system would be akin to polishing a turd.

Yes... well unfortunately ProBoards installed the update, it wasn't anything we did! Honest! :s

In retrospect I should also have mentioned that. Though I did know it was them, those meddling rascals! *shakes fist at non-specific distant point*

Is it a push by them to get us to pay for a forum so we can design it any way we want?

Um.. I don't think so. I'm not an admin so I can't check, but I think there *are* extra features, ... but it's something the forum owners pay for, not the members.... rest assured STCO will remain a free forum!

As free as it can get under the crushing regime of Doctor Robotnik, that is.

No I know that we weren't being asked to pay for it. What I meant was, have they locked away the "old look" as a theme that we can access should we start paying ProBoards.
I just hate the new look, it's too spread out, not helped by everyone who has a quote in their sig has a massive sig now because of the new supersize quote boxes. This isn't a complaint to those of you with quotes in your sig - please carry on - just a complaint about this new look.

It's me again. Bad news I'm afraid.
Dusted off the keys to the STCO avatar Photobucket account to see what the hell they're playing at. And it turns out they've decided to shoot themselves in the foot with a bazooka; in order to (semicolon, very classy) continue using images stored on there, they want $400 a year (over £300 as of 2017 exchange rates) for the privilege of doing so.
While this is the easiest solution as far as fixing the issue goes, there is no way on this planet I'm handing over £300 of my own money to a internet page to be able to maintain the presence of avatars on a graveyard forum, and nor would I expect anyone else to.
I implore you, if you're an old user passing by, log in and switch to a custom avatar if you haven't already. Anything you like. Family friendly, obviously. It'll help this forsaken corner of the web to look just a little bit tidier. The more active you were, the better the impact! Cheers very much.
