Animal Attack..!

post #1 of 113

Thread Starter 
I'm experiencing something strange this morning,
lots of you guys seem to have the same avatar.
I've tryed to write one of you, to ask if it's somesort
of new club or something I needed to be in, but he
dosn't know what I am talking about, and claims that
he has the same avatar as always.
Is my computer messing with me, or does someone else
see the same thing?!

Ppl with Animal avatars; kbe; Anthony87; Dust8; petrucciji;
StylinLA; Spray; gupts; mattehewfoo; bossanova_boy;
Ruggels; TwoRoads; mysticknot ... amoung others!

STRANGE!!!

Duc I am not seeing any Animals in avitars other than the ones usually there, like my Snow Leopard <<Still there. I haven't changed it. Are you seeing the pic you posted in your above post? That is a Muppet from Seseme Street I think. But why don't I see it as someone's avatar?

Yeah, it's the pocture I've posted above.
And as we speak now, you have the same
Animal avatar in your profile, it's very odd!
I don't see your usual leopard!

KBE's looks normal. Just checked out Mysticknot's profile, too; hers is the same as it was.

Maybe it's something on your end rather than Basenotes...?

Strange. I still see Hellspray! I'd never ditch the Sinfest Devil. I'm far too attached to him.

I thought so, but not now,
ausamamira see the same
thing!

And I can't figure out, where
I would have gotten the virus?
I have a bulletproof antivirus
program ... and I never open
up unknown files!

What do you mean when you say the avatars are the same? You mean the little pictures under our screen names? Mine is the picture of myself. Are we supposed to have something different? I don't see what you are talking about. I'm very confused.

What does an animal avatar mean though? I think I'm really dense or something. Can you explain what you mean... what kind of an animal avatar?

OK, for the lesser intelligent BNers
Where you usually have a picture of yourself,
and I ususlly have a picture of Daffy Duck as king,
I only see Animal the Muppet today.
We all have the same damn avatar of Animal..!

Between your stars and your join date!

Ok, now I normally avoid bug/virus threads because I really am no IT guy, but seeing my name mentioned makes me worry. Can someone please explain the fuss to me??? Everything looks normal. My avatar is the cover of the book "A Clockwork Orange" and has been for some time already. I do not see a need to change my avatars frequently. I know folks like mysticknot and some others are really savvy with avatars and all, and change them frequently along a running theme (Mysticknot's one is always a portrait of a lady figure), but not me. The upload/download thing is not my forte.

Unless you are trying to fool me.... shame on you. I panic easily you know.

I just ran my virus scan, and it hasn't reported anything. Everything seems ok.

Moderators, please clarify.

Oh I didn't even think of a virus, I'm on a Mac, and I forget all about that sort of thing. Are you on a PC? How is the rest of your system running? This might actually be more serious than I thought. I was just thinking you were being silly.

I'm starting to wonder. It takes a lot of time and effort to run a place like Basenotes, if this is some kind of way to get attention, then wasting Grant's time on a non-existent bug is an off-color way to do it.

I'm off to bed. If you want some animal, I suggest Muscs Koublai Khan, not telling us we all have evil Miss Piggy avatars or something...

I could tell it was a bad April Fools joke Matthew.. I don't think I really fell for it, I just didn't get what they were talking about.... I didn't know what they meant by "Animal" I guess I never watched the Muppets much.
