So if the political threads are predominant for a week or two because of a major issue, let them take their time in the sun to shine and soon they will dwindle off to obscurity, leaving the most desired threads to continue as normal. The ones I see posted in the most won't go to far anyway, right. So this issue of political threads is just over laziness of everyone to move one or two pages back to bump it up again to the first page.

Ahh.

Right now, they have taken a back seat. And when the old ones fade. New political ones come to replace them, so they tend to always be in the sunshine. I just find it interesting that folks want to talk politics so much on a porn site. Sex ... politics ... sex ... politics ... tough choice there!

I'm worn out from it. I was just trying to help you understand the current dynamics, and be as neutral as I could be in explaining it, given I do have a horse in the race, but you seem to have a handle on it.

I got a handle on it Miss Honey, but I'm not getting into it. I was just making some observations about what I've seen so far and what it's all about. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm no box of hammers either. I just try to use my head about things before I go jumping in the pool and find it's full of pirannha. Now, how do we get the darn fish out, so it's safe to swim again?

[JackLuis]

"Is it safe?"

That's writerly and not invective.

[YoursSINSerely]

Yes, I think it is safe right now. I think the crabby people wore themselves out last night and are sleeping in this morning.

Here's a reminder about the name of the thread....Banning ugly advatars. Where did that conversation go?

I do believe Scouries started this thread as a joke, a way to poke fun at all of the nonsense going on here, a way to prove how silly all of the other banning and moving is all about.

People, if you don't like something, don't read it. We are all writers here and can write whatever you feel like. It doesn't mean it's true. It doesn't mean it's really the way you feel about subjects. Some writers are better than others and know how to push people buttons. Look at what Scouries did with the silly subject of picking on advatars.

But, you all must understand that Big Brother is watching. By separating politics out of here, it just makes it easier for Big Brother to zero in on trouble makers. It is illegal to overturn your government. There is software out there to pick up on certain words and phrases.

I'm going to pull my curtains now and shut down my PC. If there's no link, they will never find me here.

I still like my advatar and I like Scouries, too.

Don't like where this thread is going? Don't read it. We can talk about whatever we want, whenever we want. That's what we voted on. 'Member?

Rock on, Scouries!

Since other larger-focused topics have been given their own space here on Lit, some felt this was a reasonable thing to do. Others didn't.

The second reason political threads were looked at closely was that some feel that the animosity generated from them bleeds over into the other threads.

As for your last point, several have tried to get the site owners to do that very thing, but, they tend to consider this a free speech zone and don't intervene. You can report an inappropriate post, but you'll get back a message eventually telling you to basically calm down and use your ignore button. That was part of the vote too, this time. I guess the site owner was now willing to consider it and the political thread relocation, but it had to be all or nothing and 2/3 majority to vote on it. It's not going to pass.

Since this is a thread about avatars and not really based on the current "what's off topic for the AH" discussion threads, I've posted my reply to you here, DH:

http://forum.literotica.com/showpost...&postcount=142

Although, it is fun seeing a thread scouries created in the AH get seriously derailed.

[scouries]

Christ, you take a little break, go out and have a night on the town with your sweetie and you wake up the next morning to this.

Can somebody please tell that guy showing his crack he needs a new picture. Like a.s.a.p.!

Now please, go and scroll down page one of this thread and then pages 2 and 3. Do you see now the difference visual beauty brings to the conversation? Page 1 may be the most beautiful LITEROTICA thread page of all time.

now on to the ratings:

RATING AVATARS –

Safe Bet 4

I don’t generally like AVATAR changers (see above) and our poorly informed football fan is certainly one of those. However in her casse I’m going to make an exception.

Although the poor lady often picks a poor subject for her AVATARS, she has a couple of qualities that most AVATAR choosers don’t have – she understands color and uses it to great effect, and she has a sense of humor (although a pretty sick one). Her AVATARS generally amuse. All they lack are Dolphins…

Speaking of color…

Actually, I have a question about AV's and sigs. How do I get one under my name and how do I get to remove 'virgin' and post something a little more appropirate and fitting? Being called Virgin in a room full of horny man-eating women just makes me a little nervous, lmao

Can only answer the second one. With more posts, the "virgin" will disappear and be replaced with something else. (I haven't paid much attention to what, though.)

Later: In fact, yours appears to have changed to "experienced" now.

[Darkniciad]

I can't remember the posting requirements for avatars and custom status, offhand. It's somewhere in the labyrinth of the FAQ.

Seems like avatar was 100 posts, but don't quote me on that one.

After 100 posts you can upload an AV and after 1,000 posts you can change the tag to something else - it's all done through the "User CP" link at the top left of your page (well, it's at the top left with the skin I'm using).

[scouries]

Attn boring2: Re post #14 - young lady or sir (as the case may be),

It’s exactly to people like you that this thread is dedicated to. Young LITEROTICANS who are still awaiting their first AVATAR and don’t know where to turn for help. Look no further young person – simply read this thread in the coming days and weeks and you’ll end up with one of the best rookie AVATARS in AHland history.

And don’t continue down the road to the darkside. Read your post again, the mean, ugly words you used. This is only your eighty somethingth post.

One good rule I give to every LITEROTICAN who comes to me for advice is: SMILE when you’re writing a post. No, not a sneer, not some grimacing attempt at a fake smile, a real one. And if you can’t work up a smile simply put off posting.



james scouries

100 for an AV, 1000 to proclaim your statue (i.e. ace is a guru of some sort)

Interesting, I didn't see that. At least I'm not a virgin anymore. So I guess I'll have to blah, blah, blah a whole bunch and get my post count up to put up a pic, which as I see must meet Scouries guidelines for tasteful and decorative. Any suggestions Scouries on an AV for my name?

Try a big chocolate dick...scories will love it

[scouries]

CARTOON AVATARS: Some people hate them and some people love em! You see a lot of them over in GBland but also here. I like CrimsonMaidens (a strong 3) – it’s a big improvement over the Dale Jr. one she used to have. I guess she got tired of his fifteenth place finishes. Her new one is friendly and welcoming.

SaintPeter from GBland also has a great one. Fits his posting to a tee - he gets a 4.

prem i'll have to take it under advisement - there is absolutely no need to make a decision the second you hit 100

Look, this babe is not my favorite person on the site (even though she did write a very flattering critique of LITEROTICA’S #1 story which, oh by the way, I wrote). Nor, after just thirty two years of University hopping, has she yet got a degree from any recognized institution.

But if any of you can find a better butt AVATAR on this or any other site please let me know where. I’d definitely have breakfast with that rear end…

You are a bad girl, aren't you Bianca. I'm going to like playing with you. Chocolate dick indeed. Why can't I have a big chocolate pussy with a cherry in the middle instead? That would be more to my liking.

I try

You can have that too...quite creative actually. I like

[Freefall_mc]

Oooh, chocolate, love it.
But PREM, you would never really know what people were drooling over with references thrown your way, now would you?

A flattering Critique you say? Want me to pull it up for you to read again? Maybe the new folks would like to find out what you consider flattering.

Oh and that story isn't #1 on any list that i know of. In fact, it's not even in the incest top lists, is it.

Sorry folks, but with scouries you have to wear your hip boots because of his bullshit. He's full of it.

Ain't it funny how a guy with a stolen AV is bitching about other peoples AV.

Oh, and you're the other bad girl I like. I can only guess what goes through people's minds, so if I can find a lucsious looking chocolate pussy with whipped cream for pubic hair and a cherry for a clit, That's what'll show up on mine. I'll swear an oath to my enjoyment of such a delectable treat.

A bit confused. Did you just swear on your own pleasures that your AV will be of such appetizing sweetness? If so, let's hope you're a man of your word, for your sake.

I am a man of my word and I will search the infinite spans of the internet looking for it. If I can't, I'll find the closest thing to it. Such a delicate and sumptuous thing as a woman's pussy is worth displaying in all it's beauty and the enjoyment of it.

"If" (in your oath quote) you can find such a representation, one showing should be sufficient to validate your honor in this matter.

I have lots of nice pussy pics. I can rustle up several and post them if you want. I have no objection to looking at one of the most beautiful things God created, does anyone else?
