And then you can bring suit against all those kids' families for false accusation / slander or some such. Let the good times roll. :D

That's what I saw too. I was going to say it, but I felt I should be swirling a wine glass if I did. :P

Acorn, thanks for coming up with some solutions, Tallgrrl, thanks for field testing them. I'll talk to the Gr'Up Mods about getting a sticky to let people know.
In the meantime, can we get some links to the software you've tried? Just to be sure we don't grab the wrong thing and post a link to something similar named that's infested with adware or somesuch.
Ms Duck:
along Piotr idea, but not so creative i fear...get a pair of outdoor 'concelaed rock speakers' , then connect them to your computer sound system.
then browse for some Mp3s (orangatan's mating is an old favorite)
enjoy.
;D

I disagree. I wasn't fond of the HP & Draco avatar, but that's because they looked so incredibly young. I quite like Blaze's tapestry, and mourn the passage of THE DUCK. Puppy avatars FTW, but many other avatars are fine.

I agree. But when I got involved in this, one other (much more) tech savvy computer user had resorted to blocking it, and another poster spoke of nightmares. Just like art and pornography are something Supreme Court Justices know when they see it, so are distressing images. And I've looked at the full doll head, that is actually less creepy, imo. But why are those of us creeped out required to make the extra effort? With all the images in the world and on the web, what greater purpose/ideal is being served by this partial head? Just to creep people out? (I totally reject any Halloween connection.)
Certain verbal speech is not allowed on here. I see no reason the same does not apply to avatars.
