Example 1:  An MM member slammed a photo on a magazine cover and then complained when someone kind of did the same thing to their avatar.  Claiming it was unasked for.  As if that magazine photographer asked for her opinion.

Example 2:  An MM member is complaining about crappy avatars that don't show their work very well.  yet, this member's current avatar shows them to be so small in comparison to all the empty space around them...well...you know...pot and the kettle?

Example 3:  This thread.  What kind of fool asks such a stupid question knowing full-well that no one can really answer the question.

Someone give Chris a hug.

That would be lame.

And about as useful as people putting up good avatars.

LOL.  I think we should count up the threads that begin with "Why?"  Why ask why??

The site isn't a totally paid website, and is open to the public, what do you do? You stay away from the b.s. and the forums if you don't like the drama. Seriously. This prevents headaches. As you can see, there is alot of it on here, and you can't get yourself caughtup on these forums. Imo, the forum is a bad idea, because it brings out the egos, attitudes, nuts, arguments etc...You have to make it what you choose to make it. Just my two cents.

Exactly!!!!  Instead of complaining about cerain threads, not liking them, etc., know that a site as this represents diversity and there is something for everyone!  If you don't like it, don't get involved in it.  Simple.

I find most everything to be about 98% entertaining.   In a sense, I'm not REALLY complaining.  Sometimes I see a fire and I like to watch it.

Very true. I haven't been in the Pit for I think two weeks now.  As entertaining as these threads can be, sometimes I do need to step away from those 2%ers that get under my skin...or was it 1%?  Ricco, where did you go?

I was trying to be nice, that's all. I guess being helpful without being asked to help is a bad thing.

Would that be your "People use the crappiest shots for their avatar" thread? I'm afraid that most people would not consider that title to be anything near an attempt to be nice.

Young lady...

Don't take this personal...

Shut off your computer. Take a walk in the park. Read a good book. Call some relatives and tell them how much you love them. Rent some good movies, and gorge yourself on some sausage pizza...

Posting on MM just isn't working for you today...

There's always tomorrow...

Actually, I understand your point and I agree with it.  I merely found it odd that of all people to say it would be someone who has a current avatar that is essentially useless.  I'm not saying it's a bad photo, but if you want to draw people into your port based on a thumbnail, that is NOT the photo you want to use.  You're so small in comparison to the rest of the image.  I'd choose a photo that has YOU as a larger presense.
