Wheeee! Im gettin my custom avatar anyways after I make a theme so It dont really matter.
Someone's confident. And did you know you're about the 20th person I've heard gloat about their theme being the best? It's insane!
Anyway, back to the subject of this thread. I DO NOT think that a gender tag would be a good idea. The reason online forums are so awesome is because you can use them no matter what the race, gender, religion, ect. and still be accepted by people that only care about your online personality. Whatever background you come from you'll still be accepted on an online forum because they're so discreet. Having a gender tag would be a *small* but still discrimitive tool that could emit stereotypes (plus the occasional wierdo that like to impersonate the opposite sex. Obbi would abuse the tag idea) and that's not what we need on these forums right now. I'm not saying that being a certain race, gender, ect. is bad, I'm just saying that because of people hating other people for certain traits they cannot change the world is a horrible place. Online forums though, are a good way of retreating from the incompetence of reality and entering a cyber world of equality.
P.S. - Whether you do give out personal info or not on the internet isnt for me to judge. I'm just saying it should be mandatory.
What??? There is not hate in these Forums anyway???
Where have you been??
But your a right about the whole equality thing is pretty cool...
Yes, there is hate on these forums. But I'm not talking about the sort of hate you're talking about. People hate eachother on forums because of what they say and do; what their personality on the internet represents them as. The sort of hate I was talking about was the physical hate of life. The sort of hate that people would take one look at you and say, "That person looks like a *insert prejudicial comment here*." The sort of people that would hate you before they heard what you had to say. You see where I'm coming from?
