<p>I was thinking that it sucks that CC doesn’t have an avatar feature like other online discussion forums. So I decided to make my own ghetto avatar that I will copy and paste from Word every time I post (it can be seen below). I hope many of you will follow suit…Not only do I believe it will give CC some much needed personality, but it will make it more efficient (i.e. there will be no need to PM other posters asking what there school or major is, if their basic information is all right there). </p>
<p>Let’s make the UC sub-forum the trend setting forum on CC! We can be the coolest overachievers on the block :cool:</p>
<p>Or if you think this idea is stupid, please discuss. Ad hominem attacks are also welcome :)</p>
<p>I think it's a pretty cool idea, because, as you said, it helps to prevent from rehashing the same information over and over again. Plus, it helps similar people to connect! It might, however, be a bit hard to keep copying and pasting, given that I'm not always on the same computer to post. Here's mine: </p>
<hr>
<p>I am, in order:
(a) Filipino by citizenship, and from my mother's side;
(b) Indian by upbringing, and from my father's side;
(c) An ex-student of the Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir, Sultanate of Oman;
(d) A current student of the University of California - Berkeley;
(e) Enrolled in the Engineering - Undeclared major;
(f) A Regents' and Chancellor's Scholar.</p>
<p>PM me if you need any help, or rather, if you think my stats can lend you some help! I like helping people, so any question asked will be answered to my best ability! :)</p>
<p>haha, yay I don't feel like an idiot. I thought people were going to call me out on this one. Anyways, I hope all my CC friends will take to this. Or if not, I will -re-exile myself from CC in shame :(</p>
<p>Also, nice avatar jeanatkin. You have the second best avatar on CC ;)</p>
<p>Oops, yeah you're right poppin. I've been awake all night. My mind is elsewhere. Where is your sig though? </p>
<p>about me: CCC'er, De Anza to be exact! Fremont Resident, and Irvington High School graduate.
Where do I want to go / Major? -- UCLA / Econ
And here's my ghetto avatar:
<p>Nice idea with the real avatar poppin...For those who want avatars here, just post up links to little tiny cartoon versions of yourself...Poppin can you post the link to the south park cartoon animator thingy?</p>

And here's my ghetto avatar:
<p>1) Create sig with whatever links you want included
2) SAVE THE ORIGINAL SIGNATURE BEFORE YOU POST -- don't try cutting and pasting it from when you've already posted it. The board automatically shortens most links so it'll mess things up when you try cutting and pasting your signature from a post
3) Reuse your saved signature
4) Hooray!</p>

<p>Thanks for helping us solve the technical / logistical difficulties with this sig / avatar launch. For all your fruitful work, you will automatically be accepted to UCSD / UCLA / UCB. This also goes for other CCers who create and maintain sigs and avatars :)</p>
<p>also, be weary of line breaks...it seems that the board's protocol is very anti sig / avatar hahaha</p>
