It's been fun

so it seems like the avatar has raised concerns that it is offensive. while i received a pm 2 months ago stating the admins didn’t have a problem with it they said they did have a complaint from one individual and asked if i would change it. i decided after some contemplation that it was not offensive and said if were all the same i would rather keep my avatar than change it for the benifit of one individual. now two months later i have received an ultimatum that i change my avatar or have my membership canceled.

well if you guys don’t see me around it was great hanging out and getting a chance to see everyone at the meets and at the shops. take care you are a great bunch of guy/girls.

thanks

I did not make the original complaint, but I do think your avatar is offensive, as are one or two others out there. Hope you change your avatar and stay on the board, but of course, it's your choice what to do given the circumstances.

Are you serious!!!! Thats #*%@* It seems things on the board are taking a slid in a diferent direction. Sorry to here about this Willow. I hope it doesnt come to that.
I for one am not ofended what so ever

it seems like personal oppinions often dictate decisions in Canreef.

but seriously, its a teddy bear, with its hands in its pants. So, it is a little "low-brow", but wouldn't call it offensive!

Hardly neccessary.

I didn't even notice what it was for the longest time. I thought the bear was holding a knife or something. The resolution is so low. Anyhow, I am more offended by people telling me what kind of a tank I need for certain animals than I am by that avatar.

willow, i love you bear! it's just goofy. there are things written on the board that i take more offense to then i do to a funny bear. good luck!

Well now thats this is posted, {unbelievable}, lets bring it all up.

You know their is more to it than the avatar, and this thread shows exactly what we are talking about.

Here we go again. Maybe if the rest of the staff resign, then everyone will be happy. Mine will be the second in shortly.

This is an aquarium board, and thats an avatar. Whats so hard about changing it, even if only offends a couple of members. Perhaps to now make a statement or what? I dont understand?

Its also unbelievable that we even have to post in a thread like this.

2 things: IBTL?? not sure what that means, and i am allergic to clover so i find them and green hats somewhat bothersome.

We should ban all avatars!! I don't like Boston or the Redsox much.
