What about if you have a post count that is not visual which is your post count before SC2 came out and that is what entitles you to a SC:BW avatar corresponding to the post number, this would mean the SC2 newbies would not get the SC:BW higher units they could simply have the scv/drone/probe.

And then once SC2 comes out there will be another post count which would be in your profile showing your posts since SC2 has come out. This post count would allow you to get the new SC2 unit avatars.

Now the public post count would be your all-time post count.

I have a better idea.

Ugh.

There's no gain whatsoever in constructing artificial nonsense like that, because anything that encourages (pseudo)-elitism of pre-sc2 users is no good.

The way I see it there are the following solutions:
- get rid of all sc1 icons in favour of sc2 icons
- keep sc1 icons in sc1 forums (bw, sc1 strat, sc1 tourneys, maybe sc1 news if it'll be seperated) and sc2 icons elsewhere
- every user can pick whatever he wants (sc1 t p z , sc2 t p z) and it's displayed everywhere

tl is all about elitism. Is it good? No. But I don't see much effort by the community/leadership to avoid elitism, so I don't see why we should when specifically focusing on icons.

On the other hand I could understand a "a little at a time" attitude so I guess I'd be on the fence.

All about? What?
Sure it exists, no need in encouraging it further though.

Alternately you could freeze the bw icons at whatever postcounts we have when sc2 is released. This way people who made it to carrier/bc/etc are also distinguished from people who joined shortly before sc2 was released even if they post a lot.

hell no I want to get a carrier before sc2 comes out

So people can't look at post count and join date if they want put someone down for being new? And when elitism gets out of hand, the mods can't handle it, and in fact it'd get rid of a douchebag who shouldn't be on the forum anyway?

i like the part where we started caring about what our icon is
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.
