The current uber troll is the broken avatar troll.

Dave is so fucking tight fisted (he allegedly pulls in six figures from the website) that he hasn't updated his forum software since 2003. If you put an avatar in, and it's over sized it doesn't matter. It can take up the whole screen.

Last week a somebody had a nasty avatar of fisting or something like that. A bit boring quite funny and most def not work safe.

Then they got clever.

They posted in dozens of threads. Several hundred posts over the morning. with no avatar. Then at peak time of lunchtime when most teachers would be in the office with other teachers. They struck.

Put a massive gaping arsehole being pulled apart in as their avatar taking up the whole screen. Couldn't scroll past it because more than likely they had posted in the thread more than once.

Fucking clever stuff.
