| | Uh, I really don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'd like to change my avatar image to that of a Warchanter (well, my slighty repainted Warchanter, to be honest). Is it possible? How can I do that? 'Beg your pardon (again) in advance If I'm in the wrong forum. | | Nexxstalker on WoTC Boards | |

Once you get 1000 posts, you can get a custom avatar. Until then, you have to pick from the same selection as everyone else. | | Champion of the Revenant Knight of the Elf Duskblade Complete Trades: Oni, Kidkach, Melrune, callidusx3 | |

| | Yep it is. But its kind of seen as a "reward" for contributing to the community. At 5000 you get your own custom title. There's only a few people who have that so far it seems. | | Champion of a Knight of Takhisis/Knight of Neraka | |

| Honestly, it is not that long!!! And the more you participate in really good discussions you really will be there be fore you know it. The more you post with good comments the more people will get to know you. The more people know you some pretty cool things happen. You make friends, and that is always a good thing!! Since you have friends here it makes trading minis a lot more fun as you are interacting with your friends. The more people come together (even with opposing ideas) the better the community gets!! And that is a cool thing to Blame Wake XX for......
And then comments like the last one I made seem to make sense somehow....[)] | | Ambassador of FUN!!! | |

| | I'm almost convinced *most* ppl post the most during work heh. It seems like everyone browses maxminis on company time. I wonder how much money is lost by all the businesses in combined man-hours spent on maxminis =) | | Champion of a Knight of Takhisis/Knight of Neraka | |

| And don't forget - contributing something to a thread like this before it disappears down the list is great way to get closer to that 1000!
(Was I just thinking that, or did I actually type it? [:I])
Actually (so I don't get my post deleted for being seriously off-topic [)]), I have two accounts on maxminis - does anyone know how I can go about deleting the one I don't use? | | Champion of the Bodak.Knight of the Aboleth.Squire of Gnomes.

| | Keep in mind the best way to get to 1000 is to be an active member of the community and share your thoughts and ideas, not by being a spammer or troll (not aimed at anyone in particular since I think we have a oretty good community here) | | Champion of the Tohr-Kreen.

Ahh, the only way to "fly"...
When we moved our offices arcoss the Missouri (which is probably flooding now [v]), my boss actually had the IT guys rearrang the office I would be in because I can't stand having my back to the door.
It's not necessarily that I'm doing things against company policy (although I'm known to do that from time to time), it's just an issue where I don't like people sneaking up on me and I frequently get lost in concentration and don't hear people right behind me until it's too late.
I'm still not happy with the set up, (as the door is still partially blocked from view) but it could be worse. | | Champion of the Werewolf Lord, Knight of Anything Duergar, and Squire of Things Gnollish List reset with the start of previews for each new set...got Chainmail®? | |
