Topic: [Ended!] Change your avatar to Freddie Prinze Jr! (Read 12510 times)

Give it to me of course.


But really, fun idea deepceleron, thanks for doing this

Post #2

I wanted to let you know how effective this campaign was.
I was/am new and was like, what the hell is it with Freddy Prinze around here?
It was pretty annoying, could it have been worse?

Why were some paid more than the maximum payout of .05BTC?

What is the default avatar now

What the hell am I going to do with that??

As the last two days revealed only two new converts to the True Way of Freddie, and I only bought the dignity of users until today, I thought it would slowly fizzle as users eventually turn away from His great image. Only one member set their icon back after getting their money, the rest of us can take our place next to Jr. in the light of greatness.

I have been touched by his teeny appendage: Added 0.5 BTC to the bounty to get the default new member avatar set to Freddie Jr.

And received! Thanks!

Tahoda

Keep Freddie alive! I just sent you half a bitcoin.

Ok, last payment sent! Closing the deal! Feel free to enjoy your Freddie icon as long as it is still ridiculous. Don't conform, show your unique style with a Freddie avatar, it's what everyone is doing!

Ok, and my address is in my sig too.

Cheers!

And I just got it (unconfirmed though!)

...and payment is in the blockchain!

Ok, done so

Only just joined 4 hours ago, btw

Address is in sig

What we need is like at the woot.com forums where each user gets 5 randomly generated avatars to choose from, and none of them are ever the same. Then we can ID each other based on pic.

Damn it, now everyone has the same avatar! My brain just wants to assume their all the same person when I read threads...

Attitude I am proud of. Bash some skulls!

Well you certainly have a point there bitlane.
 
The funniest thing is : I did go that route. I told him that I would release this information if tomorrow at 11 AM GMT he did not send any BTCs. I told him I would call him and talk it over tomorrow and then I would have released the personal information.

But no, he did not settle for that. He attacked me in these two threads ( now locked !!! why would he lock them if he had nothing to hide ? ) saying I am the scammer : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64192.20 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64188.20

I had to reveal the information hoping he will realise his mistake but that did not happen. When he clearly is in the wrong here he decides to attack me ( even before I revealed anything publicly ! )

I asked him to provide evidence of the so-called "hacking" ( actually a scape goat for his unwillingness to give the shares to the miners ) and he closed the threads.

As for the fund, I really appreciate you and JWU42's generosity but this is not about the money for me. At this point I have spent more time and effort in pursuing the scammer than what the debt is actually worth.

It is about knowing that I am doing something to counter the influx of determined, repetitive scammers on these forums / this community. Determined and persistent scammers need to be matched with determined and perseverent folks that hate getting scammer ( like me and yourself ).

I still will pursue him and call him tomorrow at my expense from the UK to the US. Maybe we should fund an organization with dedicated people to fight and chase scammers / verify legit businesses ? I think BTC really is suffering from this "wild west / each man does his own justice" approach because it is quite hard going it alone against the bunch of scammers found everywhere. Especially after the many incidents we have had with mining pools / online wallets just being "hacked" and disappearing with the coins without trace.  

It is easy to scam the sheep and come back a second time for it but if they try to scam ME I will make sure to at least give them HELL for it ( even if I am not probably getting the coins back anyway ) !

Hey, I'm with YOU on this one. My only concern was how quickly you posted his personal data. You could have used it as a 'Playing Card' and kept it 'in the hole' rather than playing it so quickly

You and I have had great arguments in the past, here and on BTC-E Exchange, but I still know you are a decent guy (if not a bit of a hot head like me) and I can appreciate that. What's right is what's right.
I just think you 'jumped' too quickly and played out a great bargaining chip too soon

LOL. It seems my hard approach to scammers has struck a chord with some of the members that had to go through the same procedure with these useless lying scammers on this forum.

I think taking the hard on approach is much more productive in the end with these repetitive scammers.

They see us as easy prey and they come and bite time and time again for easy $$$. 

If they find out that we CAN be bothered and we WILL investigate and punish them then maybe they will consider stopping their scamming.

I think it could be a case of the same bunch of scammers coming again and again for the easy bite. If we can teach them otherwise then that is another win for BTC not to be seen as the currency of scammers and for bitcointalk.org as the forum of scams.

Thank you for the support bitlane ! Hope you like my new line alongside the FPJ avatar

Could the amount, instead, be donated to the bulanula 'Get my $4 back' Fund ?

Clearly my random happenstance of choosing Freddie Prinze Jr. as the most ironic celebrity in the preinstalled avatars was unresearched; I did not perform due diligence to see who may have used the avatar before at any point in time, therefore I must extend my most heartfelt apologies. The Internet is a place where we have the expectation that no one's feelings will ever get hurt. Therefore, to compensate you for your emotional distress, I can offer you 0.05 BTC when you change your avatar back to Freddie Jr.

Considering FPjr was my Avatar since I switched from my custom SS-Luke-jr avatar and after seeing it all over the forum one night while half asleep still, I had a bit of a mad panic because for a few minutes I actually thought my account was hi-jacked till I noticed the usernames associated with the posts..LOL.....which in turn caused me stress, shouldn't I be eligible for something ? for pain and suffering ?

Only one new Freddie avatar today? This free money is easier than bending over to pick up a quarter!

• Grue - 0.05000000

You'll notice that I was already paid for having participated and I would like to suggest that it is you who now doesn't get the joke.

And for what its worth, I did not make my own.

You haven't noticed by now?

Yes.

Has anyone else noticed that people with the avatar posted below tend to come off as the most bitter AWESOME?



*bows to RM*

Has anyone else noticed that people with this avatar tend to make the dumbest comments?

It is hipster cool to mock by embracing 90's Freddie's default avatar and seeing everybody using the same one. It is not getting the joke to make your own...

I noticed a side effect: I used to look for my posts in threads by the avatar, it's not so easy any more!

End of the week, I'll probably use all the 1 BTC before someone gets to request and just change it for Saturday.


I just came up with a commit for SMF v3.0...

Changed it

how many days do I have to use this avatar?

Do I get a bonus for mine?

<----

yay thanks, but it still doesn't change my buyers remorse...oh avril lavigne how I wish you were still my avatar...

Was wondering what was up with his pic plastered everywhere 

19xpqPCGPtfWLLXnuxQMQwgFnDmAzq32eR

after forgetting what he did two summers in a row, he annoyed Sookie's sister.

Then he was a bit average as a pilot just scoobying around for a few years.

Then he married Buffy's triplet sister in real life - that last being all you really need to know.

I wanna know who is Freddie Prinze Jr?

 LOL. Who's this guy anyway?  
 OK, checked wiki. He voiced one guy in Mass Effect 3. Kewl.

Im just glad it wasnt justin bieber.

what if they didn't ask for / accept payment? does that make them something else, or just a cheap whore?

My mother taught me well.
In other news, Payment received. Everybody walk the FPJ.

This thread made it much easier to identify people around the forums.

I even made a flow chart for it.

OK, fuck it.
