Slog the Future!

posted by on March 14 at 9:07 AM

So yeah I love the Slog (obvs), but the progression from BBS to message boards to blogs to Gawker represents a continual march towards even better internet communities (and flame wars and trolls and 4chan). Amy Kate Horn and her minions perform a tireless service for all of us ingrates, and I love you to death, but goddamn I want me some avatars up in here. Just another subtle personal touch that brings a little value add to all the navel-gazing masses that frequent this fine establishment. SHOUT OUT TO THE LURKERS! In the spirit of friendship, I suggest these potential avatars, the images that pop into my head when I read a post, to you gentle commenters.

Anybody who mentions the time of the BBS gets kudos from me.
