Why no Profile pics on Boards.ie?

Arrow in the Knee

As above.

Why do we have these stupid avatars and not our own photos?

We're all ugly.

Speak for yourself

Festy

Because we're an ugly bunch.

You can if you want. You just need to subscribe. Simple.
And you can have pictures on your actual profile page if you so choose!

fuglyness

Birneybau

Because you havn't subscribed.

Peasant.

Ghandee

You can put your own pic up there if you wish .

say_who_now?

If you're that bad to show yourself off, you can subscribe for €5 a month, or €50 for the year, and change your avatar to whatever picture you want!

It didn't take this thread long to turn ugly.

cloptrop

Because people would shout "theres that cloptrop wanker" whenever I left the house.

Hardonraging

Tis better this way. There are enough real name/real pic sites in the world that future employers use as a way of screening employees and they're all shoite

No they use my real name.

You should at least be able to change the profile picture to whatever you want without subscribing . I'm sure the website is making good money with all commercial operators on the "talk to" fourms and the advertising.

Next you'll be wanting a wall and a status update option.

It just as well. The vast majority of boards members are incredibly ugly. The last last time i went through know your loungers I felt like gouging my eyes out. The incredible thing is these people seemed to be delighted with themselves. Unbelievable really.

ejmaztec

Might as well throw webcams into the mix as well

Boombastic

Here's my pic for anyone who's is interested



If I don't return your PM, it's because I'm swamped with requests :pac:

Most posters on boards like to have a certain level of anonymity. I actually think having profile pics would discourage people from joining. It would also increase the amount of flirty bullsh1t going on around the place.

TheFruitarian

I'm gonna upload a pic of a mirror - then everyone who looks at it will just see themselves, genius.

Eve_Dublin

Because I don't want anyone to know what a sad case I am.

BBDBB

no worries, your secret is safe

lmao surprised this hasnt been picked up on yet

Where To

My avatar is my profile pic.

The King of Moo

My avatar's a pretty close approximation of what I look like (bar a thirty-odd year age difference) and my air of authority.

Also, there's plenty of "Know Your" threads with people's photos all over the place.

Rigol

People would just start putting up pics of their mortal enemies, and then write about certain actions they perform on strangers at night in the phoenix park.

Then the Real person would come along and get angry and sue the website for defamation as in truth they only ever do those things in marlay park.

Subsciption fee

No one Is forcing you to subscribe. You can upload your picture into an album on your profile if you really want it on boards.

No. To have a custom avatar you need to subscribe, therefore if you want to have a photo of yourself appear under your username on every post you make, you have to subscribe. If you want to upload a picture to your profile, you can do that without subscribing. People will only see that when they visit your user profile.

Personally I'm happy to pay a fiver a month to use a site that I get hours of entertainment out of. It means it'll hang around a bit longer. There are other benefits aswell, like no ads, free username changes, and access to the sex & sexuality forum

I think it was better value though when you were pm'd a complementary naked picture from a mod of your choosing....

Shame it never happens any more...
