Just curious if there is anything in the works for new user icons with SC2 units. I for one would really like a baneling XD. After seeing battle report 2, i cant get over how adorable i find them. Or mayhap there will be a choice to choose between old icons and new icons? Would appreciate it if mods shed some info. =D! Edit: Whoops i apologize for starting thread in the wrong section :x | ||

Then again I don't like the idea because it will distinguish the SC2 newcomers from the BW veterans. I am moderately undecided about this. | ||

So for example, if sc2 came out now, and I made 1000 posts tomorrow, then I would be entitled to a bw icon for ~8696 posts or an sc2 icon for 1000 posts. | ||

How bout it shows ur sc2 icon but if you put your mouse over it, the bw icon will show. | ||

If you are right that this is only meant to be a bw site then ok, but I'm not so sure about that.maybe just sc2 icons for the sc2 forum(s) sorta like how we have teams in the league forum. I still feel you are making a big assumption. | ||

Then again I don't like the idea because it will distinguish the SC2 newcomers from the BW veterans. I am moderately undecided about this. If you want the site to move forward, you have to add SC2 icons. Imagine if you start playing WC3, go to a WC3 fansite, and the avatars are all units you don't recognize... because they're WC2 units. It just wouldn't make sense. Many, if not most, WC3 players never touched WC2. And that'll be the case with SC2. Thus, you have to have SC2 avatars. I think the issue you're wrestling with, though, is whether to get rid of the old avatars and make them all SC2, or let the old guys keep their BW avatars. 1) Now, you know some people are attached to their avatars. Or at least interested in them. As evidenced by the many threads focusing on this issue. So, you're losing something by making everyone have SC2 avatars. To summarize, if you change all the avatars, you'll lose something which is important to some members. Con for all SC2 avatars 2) What do you gain? I think you hit it on the head in your post. People ostracize newbs, and different avatars would let you see someone is a noob. But... so does post count. And that's almost, if not as, obvious as the little box to the left of your name. After all, because the avatars aren't unique, you tend not to even glance at them after awhile. There's no reason to. No funny visual joke. And it doesn't let you identify a person at a glance, because so many people have it. And actually, post-count is normal quick-look proxy for forum respect. Plus, while a click away, you can find out the join date of a poster. Finally, newb-bashing isn't a serious problem at tl.net. You have a bunch of moderators. There's enough of you, and you're dedicated enough, such that if TL.net is unfriendly to new guys, it's because of your moderation policies. To summarize, what do you gain by having all SC2 avatars? I say nothing. on the pro side... no pro What does 1 + 2 = + Show Spoiler + 3 lol seriously, should you have all sc2 avatars of bw too? All sc2 avatars? A big con and no rpo =s don't do that. Which means sc2 and bw avatars. have sc2 avatars but keep the bw ones for the old guys. This does not include the work it takes you guys wow, for something i tried to organize, that turned into a rambling mess. | ||
