What the what

Apparently, last night my avatar looked a little something like this screen shot, c/o Borfase:

Edit: Linked, just in case

He told people in the chat, I guess, but nobody but him saw it. I'm a little confused, myself, as I have no idea why that would have happened, unless it was a mod prank, as I suggested. Still, the picture was most definitely NSFW, and I could've been jailed/temp banned for it, so I doubt anyone would go that far with it, especially since I don't have anything wrong between me and any mod.

Que?

    Don't ask other people to host your avatar?

    It's a public free hosting thing, but I was thinking that...

    If a hosting site doesn't want to host pictures that you, God forbid, show to people, then why the hell does one start a picture hosting site?

    I was referring to him asking another forumer to use their space for things like avatars. They can just rename or replace your image with, in this case, some overly large boobs.

    This sounds like something that the two of you need to work out. Preferably in private. Hopefully with bats.

    Very remeniscent of something that happened on Fark a good while back. Some guy entered a PS contest using one of those free hosting photoalbum places to host his image, but the image that ended up being shown was of a pick in a guys... well you get the idea.

    The dude swore that's not his images, and some people in the thread began to describe how sometimes those photoalbume places get their wires crossed and the wrong images are displayed for the wrong URLs.

    That's all I've got.

    OOOOOH

    Borfase took the screencap. That wasn't very clear. Anyway, if anything would've happened and you pm'ed me about it I would be inclined to believe you as you are a member in good standing. I would probably advise you to switch image hosts though.

    If it happened multiple times I the story might wear thin. We're a pretty understanding lot.

    Well, I guess I wasn't online when it happened, or something, but I'm not really sure.

    If it happens again, I'm definitely switching hosts, although I think it may have just been a slight mix up on their end that they fixed, or something to that effect.

    Thanks. :wink:
