I actually prefer everyone has an avatar - it’s easier to identify users at a glance (especially with the new board). I’m not opposed to other rewards for support, though it makes me uneasy when I think of some of the more toxic communities out there (Evil Avatar, for example) where not having a specific color in your name or whatever reward nets you being effectively ignored/shunned. I’m not really worried about it - Qt3 is a loooooong ways away from an Evil Avatar.
I am very attached to “____” as a matter of fact. Please don’t take nothing from me–it’s all I’ve got!
Don’t make me finish SR4! I’m just crazy enough to do it!
Two ideas:
No need to spam the request in every thread. I think most people are aware that some posters really want this by now.
I wouldn’t mind a badge, because it’s innocuous, or being able to set my own title, personally. But I really have no expectation of any kind of reward because I had an avatar on the old forum.
So whatever happens, or if nothing happens, it’s all good.

Everybody who Patreons will get a free Tom Chick of Finland [tm] pic

Speaking of avatars and replacements, I’m getting sorely confused by people who changed theirs post move. Looking at the thread I wondered who this was, farewell skeleton cat!
I second these suggestions.
Yuck, the quote feature is screwing up formatting.
Beer, preferably free.
As a Belgian, I wish there was a " I really like this" button. :)
How about a beret on our avatar? Or a plush tapir?
But seriously… I don’t think folks are owed anything. I was happy to throw a few bucks at a board that’s provided me so much entertainment for about 15 years now.
This is now possible – the Patreon plugin is installed, so forum.qt3 can offer a Patreon avatar flair, or a custom title.
Of course, it’s up to @tomchick to configure it and get the Patreon auth set up, and then decide what the Patreon perks look like overall.
Aw sweet:
Also @tomchick how can you hate avatars, look at how amazing Scotten’s avatar is. It’s fucking GREAT. As are everyone else’s avatars, except @stusser’s avatar. Which sucks.
Some do line up better than others, but Scotten’s is in a class by itself. It’s the Doom marine fellating a Patreon logo!

This can only result in a civil war between patrons and non-patrons. By the looks of it, @tomchick will be on the opposing side.
huh? How does this work? Do I have to automate something to get the patreon avatar thingie attached?
edit: Eh - nevermind!
You dare use the old Patreon logo?! The powers-that-be of Patreon shall surely be wrathful.
