This is my avatar.

This is my avatar. There are many avatars, but this one is mine.
My avatar is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.

My avatar without me is useless. Without my avatar, I am useless.
I must use my avatar justly.
I must post more intelligently than the troll who is trying to flame me.
I must outwit him before he outwits me. I will...

My avatar and I know that what counts on the forums is not the number of posts we make, the threads we lock, nor the trolls we ban.
We know it is the quality of the posts that count. We will post...

My avatar is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its reactions and its idiosyncrasies.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.
I will keep my avatar clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.
We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed.
My avatar and myself are the defenders of the forums.
We are the masters of the trolls.
We are the saviors of the forums.

So be it, until there are no trolls, but peace.

Green enough, I approve.

A bog lord!!! I am pretty sure I have shot one of two of those in my WoW career ;-)

Q u o t e:
You should shove that green up a tree and stop locking topics without giving a decent answer.

How very nice of you to say...

Whoops, NOW I know what that button does...

Q u o t e:
AH, you see what I did there!

Q u o t e:

Mr. Salthem,

It has recently come to my attention that your avatar on this forum depicts 1 (one) bog lord.

On behalf of my clients, the Sporeggar Village Foundation, i would like to inform you that this depiction is extremely insulting towards my clients. They have suffered for years under bog lord oppression, and as such an avatar depicting a bog lord is wholly inappropriate for this forum, especially for a Blizzard employee.

I regret to inform you that if this visual oppression is not ended within 3 (three) days, the SFV will be forced to take measures, including but not limited to:

-the hiring of mercenaries to slay bog lords and collect their tendrils
-the hiring of mercenaries to steal valuable bog lord foliage
-the holding hostage of the bog lord 'Fhwoor'

In hopes of having informed you enough,

Mr. Kraven

senior attorney of Kraven, Darkwood & Darthoniel.

Dear Mr. Kraven,

I apologise for the unfortunate actions of my brethren, but the situation in our Zangarmarsh homeland is extremely dire. For years we have lived in peace with the Sporelings but the thoughtless actions of the Naga in Coilfang has sapped all of our food supplies. Desperate and out of their mind from starvation some of my brothers turned to the nearest source of food, our dear friends the Sporelings. I am here to campaign for an end to the plight of both our peoples.

We must lobby the Naga on the importance of conservationism and the dangers of ecological degradation. Perhaps we can work together towards this goal.

Best Regards,

Salthem
Bog Lord.
