Dec 2011

You really seem to like sniffing out character flaws in others ("...how that's decieving?). Sorry, it's more prosaic, a glitch combined with past problems.

My "old name" never had an avatar, either. I may get one. I'm not interested in the gray things either. Is there a way to blank it out?
