Perhaps a little of both?

Wonder where's Zak? Wasn't he the one who stared this...last year, IIRC?

Well. Zak pmed me a bit ago, and asked if I would handle the first three days of nhaw this year, as he's travelling, and can't. I agreed. Naturally.

So I want it known that I'm not hijacking, I'm HELPING! :P

But he'll be along with HATness later this week.

In the meantime, should I talk about my cock more or something so you feel more like he's here?

I think part of your av would qualify as naughty bits. It just crashed my computer :wideeyed: Have all the mods gone on holiday?

No, but some of them are in a shared office and find this thread a little hard to explain when colleagues are in. :P

I'll remind people: there are limits on what may be shown. Your av will be turned off if you break them.

I'd like to point out that I believe Zak began this as a way to make people become less uptight about nakedness and body issues. Not as a geeky pronfest, altho, if you enjoy it for whatever reason, more power to you and have fun :P

Yeah, riiiiiiggghhhttttt! Zak's motives are pure, as always. *wise nod*

;):P

Ran posted some guidelines in another thread, but I'll paraphrase: If you are likely to run into problems with your avatar on American TV (lots of pubes showing, full frontal, female nipplage, ball shots), you shouldn't be showing it here, either.

All that said, I still salute those who have the confidence to take more risque pictures. :)

(MJS, your original av made me smile. Right up until the point when my eyeballs fell out of my head.) :wideeyed:

Just to quote myself:

Just to give the official line on this:

(1) Let the poster beware. Whatever is posted _can_ be grabbed by someone and stored permanently on a drive -- whether it's a post or an avatar. If you are uncomfortable with this, you need to avoid taking part in NHAW.

(2) Just as a courtesy, we do ask that people not save other people's avatars -- even for private perusal -- without their permission; obviously, this can't be enforced, but we'd figure we'd add the weight of the mods on the request.

That said, taking someone's NHAW avatar and sharing it off this site without their permission is not something we would appreciate. If we learn of it, it will be treated as a serious breach breach of community trust.

(3) One way to make avatars just a little less enticing to people as items to save would be to make sure that you've shrunk them down to the maximum size displayed by avatars: namely, 100x100. See the Board FAQ for some tips concerning how to get a picture resized to those dimensions. (In general, it's always good policy to shrink images down to that size -- that makes the board load faster for everyone -- but it's an especially good idea right now.)

(4) Last, but not least, the Naked in Naked Hatted Avatar Week does _not_ mean that we're tolerating people flashing all their bits at us. Don't. Do. That. The idea is that at most you imply, suggest, or amuse without showing anything more than you might see on, say, primetime network TV in North America. If you'd be embarassed by your mother seeing it, don't post it. If you'd be embarassed by my mother seeing it, especially don't post it.

With the addendum that, of course, "bits" includes some of the things Xray is mentioning. And, really, we don't really _care_ if you're embarassed or not, obviously. ;) Indeed, more power to you if you're willing to be risque -- but the really important dictum is that it shouldn't be more risque than what you'd see on one of the networks. And by networks, we're talking ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC -- not HBO and Showtime. ;)
