Title: What happened to the monocle movement?
Post by: agweber on October 10, 2014, 04:50:01 pm
A year or two ago when I was playing more regularly than I do now, and before I took a ~9-month hiatus from playing, at least 75% of the posts I saw around were from people with avatars with top hats, monocles, and even cigars. I see a lot of drawn (or something) avatars now, so it seems like that's been a newer movement, but I don't really like it. Bring back the monocles!

I've actually taken to using this avatar all over the place, even on my work's jabber server. I'm waiting for a coworker to ask me wtf my avatar is.

I, too, once wore the monocle of pseudo-nobility in my youthful days of buffoonery.

I then became cognizant of my mental retardation

Thank you for backing me up. He is discussing something entirely different than the topic everyone else is discussing.

In fact, I would go as far as saying he barely has more than 20% of the knowledge required to discuss the topic at hand.

Pity.

I remember getting access to the "gentlemans club" part of the forum for a short time.
It was maybe a bug, as it coincided with getting a feather for investing in the donkeycrewgame.

At that time there was nothing of interest in those forums.
Never understood what it was for.

I always assumed it was some secret handshake club , attempt at crpg freemasonery.

Could one of the gentlemen explain what the monocle and club is?

Some interwebs meme I missed out on?

I have both avatars and signatures turned off, for maximum scrolling efficiency. Only bad thing is that whenever someone makes a reference to someone's signature or avatar I get so curious I have to go turn them back on.
