Fragile Bird Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This thread has been deeply disappointing. There’s a legendary Hat thread that was here before my time, where people introduced themselves to other board members. You had to post a picture of yourself, wearing a hat.

Okay, now let's say that perhaps someone might want to resurrect such a thread, what would be the best way to post the mugshots? We can't embed images here.

Tears of Lys Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Oh, dear. The only thing I can contribute is that yearly, there was a "Naked, Hatted Avatar Week." It was left to the poster's discretion as to whether it was a sly looking back over your shoulder bust shot, or a full-length shot with a hat covering the naughty bits. As to how to embed pictures currently, I'm afraid I can't help you. It was a lot of fun and it boosted people's post counts dramatically! ETA: Duh. You had to actually change your avatar picture temporarily. Edited February 20 by Tears of Lys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Holy cow. I haven't thought of NHAW in years. Fun times! I can imagine those were confusing times for new visitors to the forums, but not nearly as confusing as the World Cup random country assignments or the "Become Another Boarder Week."

Ran Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Weirdly came across some oooold NHAW Avs of Linda and myself. Oh, when we were young(er). As to posting images, best shot is put them in an imgur.com album and share the link here. Tears of Lys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I've got a brown trilby, for cold weather, a flat cap for the rain, and a panama for the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you what NHAW was already. Didn't you believe me?? Seriously, it's a lot of fun seeing how people can come up with ways to be modest yet with that little hint of impropriety. And then you get the others who go all in and the devil take the consequences! ETA: Nice to see you've taken the first step!

Spockydog Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 (edited) And, sorry, I missed your earlier explanation. Or perhaps I just blocked it out, in the shocking aftermath of merely thinking about such an event. Edited February 22 by Spockydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 @Spockydog It's not really as earth-shattering a move as you're imagining. For example, my pictures were just lying in bed, bare shouldered, with a hat. Pretty harmless. Then a few others (mostly men!) went for the full body shot, like one memorable one where he was turned to the stove, cooking, in a hat. His ladyfriend or wife at that time snapped it from the rear. Actually, this has made me think of some of the old boarders and wondering how things are going for them . . . Spockydog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
