    Default August Is Retro Month

    That's right, Retro Month. I may or may not have just made that up, but that's irrelevant. For quite awhile I've been itching for an excuse to see some old-school avatars that haven't been around for years. And this seemed like a fun way to make it happen.

    The idea is pretty simple: find the oldest avatar (or sig, or combo, or whatever) you ever used on EoFF and switch to it for the month of August. Or just for a couple weeks if you get tired of it, who cares.

    It'll be an interesting look for the forum, and we can make fun of each other for having noobtastic avatars. And, uh, the winner is the person with the oldest avatar. Or something. And if you have been using the same one for seven years, you are a loser and I disqualify you.

    Come on people. Dig through those ancient folders and find me a dusty, tiny 60x60 picture you haven't seen in years.

    Thought August was "STFU AND GTFO" month.

    Must be different with people from Texas.

    Change is bad!

    I've had this avatar/signature for years I think. Neat idea though.

    I'll use the avatar, but I'm not ready to commit to putting back the sig I had. It's bad enough I still remember it.

    Oh, go on then. My beautiful chocobo is 5 years old, baby, and I demand it be reinstated to the default avatar gallery.

    My original sig was something like:

    What is it with FF main characters scratching their heads and looking at the floor?

    FFs completed: VII, VIII, IX. Works in progress: V, X.

    It would just be a lie if I posted it now.

    I just changed my avatar and signature to something new, but I'm game.

    This is as old as I can find. I wish I knew what happened to my Kuja theme combo.

    Do you have my original sig? You asked me to use it to make a sig for MP once.

    No I didn't, I made that one myself. Pretty sure your original avatar is still in the default gallery.

    No, I remember you took my original Rikku sig and asked me to throw some text on it or something. I wish I had it. ;_;

    I didn't think I still had my old signature advertising my long-dead site, but I do. Glorious.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
