Gravatar has privacy issues that I don’t believe in, so they’re gone now.

You guys can upload any photo you’d like now. To do this, you must be registered. Go to “users” — > “your profile” and then scroll down and you will see a browse button where you can scan your pc and upload any picture you want.

If you don’t go this route, your default will be a sad but classy amish man.

  1. Also, for those interested in security and/or privacy, you should check out this site before creating any accounts online: https://www.accountkiller.com/en/Blacklist

    If the site you’re about to sign up for is on that list, realize you might never be able to delete it, and they might make your data public. You can see gravatar makes the list, which is why they are gone for good around here.

  2. Okay, I changed it so those who want to upload a personal avatar can do so, and those who don’t get an “identicon”. These are less problematic than gravatars, from what I can tell, because they don’t auto-create accounts that can’t be deleted.

    Will this work?

  3. The problem is this: every time you use an email address and post a comment, it generates a new gravatar, which then generates an ENTIRE gravatar account for you. So we all have gravatar accounts thanks to the default wordpress avatar system. Worse, they make it so you can’t delete those gravatar accounts.

    That is unacceptable, imo.

    I’m not going to be pushed around by those assholes. So, we will use our own avatars. If the fallout is we lose some people who either (a) don’t want to post as an amish man or (b) don’t want to register then so be it.

    That is better than giving those sneaky fascist bastards at gravatar our data.

    This is best for all. The only downside is you’re all Amish.
    The other option is we ditch wordpress and make AB a forum.

  4. I’m going to use my favorite breakfast food as mine. And for the fucker who minuses all my posts no matter what. Please fire away, but nothing like a nice hot homemade biscuit for breakfast now and then.

  5. Saw the highlights of last night’s game. It’s amazing what a little depth can do. I can’t imagine what this team will look like when they get some chemistry. Go Beavs.

  6. Seems like everyone here has given up on football? But to have a thread about profile pictures and being inbred on a game week is maybe the most Beavers conversation ever.

    • You get “inbred” from this eh?

      Interesting.

      What do you get when you look at your sister?

      And what’s a Georgia fan doing here? Or are you Fresno State?

  7. Just about everyone outside of this site could have told you your team was going to be bad. Historically bad even. Did it really take you all this long to see that? And since you suck you just give up on your team? No wonder Riley could go 4-8 every season and people still thought he was a great coach. Low expectations.

    • College football is cyclical, even Alabama had a 4-9 team in recent history. I doubt Huskie forums were a bastion of intense interest during the 0-12 season.

      Also, if you are going to blurt out shit off of the top of your head, it would probably make more sense if you read more of this blog. MOST posters here predicted something like 3-9 or 4-8 this season anyway which is not that far off from 2-10.

      And who has given up on the team? Most of us still think GA will get this turned around in time.

  8. Now I want to try something. Note the two posts above and this one are Amish guy… without a beard.

    Can we get a beard on our Amish guy?

    Now let’s see what happens when I log on.

    • test

      edit: so no change on the previous posts… I saw older comments on the previous post had changed once this took effect. But no such permanent change.

        • Ha! The newest “hip” for hipsters?

          Let’s see… a beard… clunky eyewear… bricks for shoes… a vest….

          I do believe hipster gear can shed the knit cap and put on an Amish lid and become Amish themselves. But then they would have to also shed technology, eat homegrown or locally sourced foods, ride bikes instead of drive cars. I don’t think they’re up for a hat change.

          Note: Urban hipsters could wear the felt type, rural the straw.

          • I’m gonna rewrite that for you to patent

            Nice guys, ridin’ bikes……….neat deal! chewin gum muthfucka!

            I just gave you a line to create a hit rap music song. you’re welcome

    • Jack, that’s why he’s unhappy. Ezekiel is depressed ( I named him Ezekiel by the way). He wants badly for a long flowing beard, like the elders have. But for some reason it won’t grow.

    • I can’t address your question about the available guys that are out there but fwiw, here’s a link to WT talking about the two remaining scholarships he has left to hand out. He’s talking about possibly handing out one either this fall or next spring (possibly to a JC guy) and putting the other one “in the bank” for use for another recruiting class.

      At about 5:30 minutes into the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc7IclkH-Jc

    • Think big.

      Manuel will redshirt this year, effectively making him a 2016 entrant. That’s two G, a junior swing and a force 4. A known quality 5 is almost impossible unless recruiting brilliance can be had. Even then, Does Tinks go after a pipe dream (and possibly get him), or does he target a project? Drew, as good as he has looked, is incomplete and won’t be complete in just one year. Time in system and a summer of ball will bring him back much more complete next year. He’s a natural athlete. And they tend to overextend and get injured if not careful (or even if careful). He’s only been playing hoops for four years, so that is to his benefit. He’s still young and spry in a body-worn sense. But he’s susceptible to injury because he is so much better an athlete than most others. It could be jealousy, frustration, overwork, anything really. But he is susceptible.

      Big G is moldable. so there’s depth. Cheikh has never filled in and taken to the sport like his size would suggest. And that was a BS foul on his block, btw. Kone and Drew together will be really really fun to watch. But we need someone who is equal to or better than Big G for depth, and in that bruising, worker bee mold.

      • Goodness!

        I just thought of the line-up for next year and beyond. We’re stupid with talent at every position. We just need *more depth in the front court.

  9. Tidbits from Baldwin after Wed practice, regarding NM:
    -he got dinged but not sure he couldn’t have played (more) vs Cal
    -I don’t think we’re planning on running him (vs UW)

    We’ll see, I have doubts that Baldwin won’t run NM a time or two. He (Baldwin) has shown himself to be willing to go with tricks and, even with the uncertainty behind NM, I think he is enough of a desperate gambler to give it a try. Also, NM has shown some ability to get down at the right time.

    • It looked to me like DB couldn’t bring himself to even give NM a small complement and based on that imo NM should transfer to a school where he’s playing for a coach that will give him a chance to play.

      I remain unimpressed with the coke head.

      • Here is what Gina reported he said, “(Mitchell is) comfortable in the knowledge of what we’re running and he had an excellent idea of the secondary coverage, but we’ve still got to complete the balls down the field,”
        While I’m not entirely sold on Baldwin either, that strikes me as (at least) a “small complement”.

  10. This may be too ugly to leave up, but you all were quoting south park. I figured I’d incorporate this being the holidays season and civil war coming up.

  11. The only bad part about the change on avatars is that I can’t automatically skip over Jack’s messages. Just fucking with you Jack, i like 1/3 of your posts.

  12. Question for Angry (or anyone who can answer):

    I don’t know if this has only happened to me, but when I first started posting I had a registered account, but after a short while when I’d go to log-in it would lock me out and say I needed permission from the server host (or something to that effect) to have access to my account. I was shown an email that I perceived to be yours (Angry) and sent a message. I didn’t receive a response so I just registered for another account, but the same thing happened, and ever since I’ve been using an unregistered account to post.

    I’d like to make a new registered account, but, and I guess this is my question, do you know why this would be? And if I do make another account, is something like that going to keep happening? Has anyone else experienced this?

    • I’ve experienced similar happenings on occasion, which is usually why i never bothered logging in. But the other day I was able to retrieve my old account info and log in with that info, and changed my picture at the same time

    • There used to be a registered account with your name, but I think I deleted it thinking it was spam (or maybe by accident).

      I doubt it would keep happening now that I know you’re not spam. I get a ton of spam, so I had to enact some protection. Sometimes users might get a captcha when logging in. This tends to happen when people are posting mobile because the software detects the changing IP addresses for the user as a proxy.

      In short, you should have no problem if you register, but you might have to enter a captcha. Registering allows you to use an avatar and edit your comments, so those are the perks.

      • Ok. Thanks for the response and clearing that up.

        I don’t use a mobile device to post, just my laptop, but there are times when I switch between locations and post, so hopefully the changing IP address doesn’t affect my account in the future.

        Since you deleted the old registered “Dansen”, I’m guessing that means it’s available for registration again?

        • I went to make the account, but it said that I couldn’t use the email I put in because it was already tied to a registered account. Is there anyway to remove the email from the registry so I could use it?

          If it’s too much of a hassle I can use a different email, I’d just prefer to use the one I’ve used previously.

    • Ok, I ignored the user thing, went to site admin, got my profile, and at the bottom is the avatar business. I chose a jpg, hit upload, and….. nothing happened. finally got an error message:

      Error -118 when loading url http://angrybeavs.com/wp-admin/profile.php

      so what am I doing wrong…?

      So far, this custom avatar thing is a downgrade, as you dont even have a unique stock avatar like we used to….
