Whoa, you're 20?  I thought you were somewhere between 14 and 16.  Definitely wierd.

Edit: I have a new theory concerning why I thought you were so much younger.  You might not necessarily write like a 14 year old (I don't watch you close enough to really know), but your avatar looks like one that a 14 year old would pick.  Mirroring our prejudice surrounding people's looks in real life, I'm sure this online community judges you -- before reading what you're writing -- based on that avatar and the similarly scribble-esque one before it.

For instance, today I saw The Bone Collector's avatar and, since it looks a bit like Palloco's, I immediately imposed Palloco's more striking characteristics onto this poor fellow.  When I see people with artistic avatars, I can't help myself and assume that they're artistic or intelligent.  When I see people with a monkey thrusting its pelvis into the air in some dance that would best be done horizontally, I just assume that they're quirky people and do my best to leave it at that.

More often than not, these avatars that people choose do reflect their personality, but in your case and The Bone Collectors', they're just misleading.

Never really thought of it, but that makes perfect sense. I guess I just don't have particularly good taste in avatars. Hmm...

...When did you find out I was a goon? Well, a sorta goon. I've posted only a handful of times, and several of those posts were really stupid ones that I should've known better to post, one of which got me probated for 6 hours (6 hours of probation is a slap on the wrist, but still.) Since then, I lurk. Rarely, in fact.

I lurk too :(  But I always thought you had a goon personality, and you mentioned when you made the Sims topic that other goons sometimes did the same thing, so I put two and two togetherrr...

Ohhh yeah, I did mention that. Silly me.

A couple of those posts were the stupidest ones I've made on any forum, and I had to go and make them on the Awful Forums. :P Oh well, they're long forgotten by now.

I don't have an avatar at all there yet (besides the STUPID NEWBIE one given to all stupid newbies who don't specify a custom title when they join) because I've yet to find anything I like enough to spend money on...

Sethamundo, you're another one of those people that I rarely ever talk to.  You seem fairly benign, nice guy though...

Good to hear.
Althought I don't know you, you yourself seem like a cool person. :)

Ah, that's nice of ya. Thanks.

Heh, seems our online fates are closely bound somehow. First the Team17 Forum, then here, then Facepunch...

Not much, now.  If you're too lazy to copy and paste my name or use one of my more common nicks like I said above and instead choose to call me "whatshisname" when I have no I idea who you are, then I won't think too highly of you.

Vij, one thing I always liked about you was you're avatar and signature. Love em'.
