Patience is a virtue.®îçhå®? said:I still need 300 posts. On the current post rate, it is only 98 days
I want to win a contest!!!!
Uh, did I miss a memo?! What contest?®îçhå®? said:
And I think it's funny-- back in the day, pink was worn by baby boys and blue was worn by baby girls. Purple was a color reserved specifically for royalty (since the elements needed to make purple dye were so difficult to obtain). Great, now ~Shard~'s gonna think he's royalty.

No memo, just an enthusiastic desire for a contest.
Just to add to that, it was also worn by higher members of the clergy - bishops, cardinals, popes etc for the same reason.

In the guides, it says that you can be given an Avatar for winning a contest even if you haven't reached 500 posts. By the amount that i have posted today, it won't be long anyway.
If and when there is a contest, anyone can submit appropriate images as attachments and in the past, the winner was allowed to use that 'tar even if s/he didn't have 500 posts yet. But if you check the contests forum out, you'll notice that it doesn't necessarily happen all that often (contests).®îçhå®? said:
I just checked... the first contest was held in August 2004. The second one was in May 2006.

Thanks, I’ve been using it for quite a while now. Perhaps when Season 4 starts this summer though (hopefully?) I’ll go back to my Harvey Birdman avatar again.
Jaffa Cake said:I did spot yours earlier and notice the colour change – I thought with that purple look your 'tar might be trying to better David Blaine's breath-holding feat..
Hey yeah, whatever happened with that? I only heard about it, never read any details about it...

Nothing wrong with being metrosexual... max_altitude said:Oh I totally agree! Looks stunning ~Shard~, simply stunning!

No really , I do like it. Purple is my favourite colour!
And I’m glad you approve as well!

Thanks for making the thread, Lacero!
The first on the left below is what I'm currently using. The ones to its right are also cousins I like.
For those who don't know what these are, they are cousins from the PS2 game "Katamari Damacy" and "We <3 Katamari."
Their names, from left to right:
Shikao, Lalala, Ace, Foomin and Fujio.
They have bodies, just not in these icons.
