Well, honestly, its because we dont have any to offer. And speaking of it we also need more pictures for the front page. :cry: You can upload and use your own avatars though. Also, many people use them to express their personalities, hobbies, etc. That makes it hard to offer standard ones that people would use. If you have some though or know of some we can make them available.

While you are populating the Avatar folder, in your spare time... could you rename our "titles" with something other than "user". Perhaps setting up some form of hierarchy based on number of posts?

Snap mate... whatta ya say? You are a blabbermouth like me!

Hahaha, I am sure you will come up with something creative!

:lol:

I was thinking of something along the lines of the building process. Maybe Empennage builder, Wing man, Fuselage Fanatic... or something like that?

Just an idea. What do others think?

Titles

Post by arffguy »

Get rid of the "student pilot" titles. I actually find it kind of insulting. I have been at this too long. It implies that people don't know what they are talking about too. I like "builder" or "wings" or "tail" or "looking." You know, something more descriptive. This is the main reason I have not signed on to that other site "RVAero" because they like to call you a "Junior Member" until you get a certain number of posts. Or maybe I am just getting too old and cranky. Maybe it's the Holiday traffic. :| Thanks for creating this site by the way. I find it much easier to use than others I have been on. Good job folks.

Obviously insulting our members is not our intention though I'm not sure how student pilot is insulting. I'll change it to something more generic.

Thanx. Were here to help others and in general have a good time.
