Why Do All the Site Admins Have a Wig on Their Avatar?

I've been curious for too long. Now is your chance to tell me.

I don't think it's just the admins but all who contribute to the site. I think there's something funny going on in the private forum to put Keira's hair (at least edesignuk's current avatar) on their avatars or something like that....

Yeah I know it is a little more than the admins. I was just trying to be concise. Maybe the question should have been: Why do All the "Special" Forum Goers Have a Wig on Their Avatar?

It is interesting that it originally came from edesignuk's avatar. Thanks for pointing that out. (And yeah edesignuk's avatar does change often.)

It's a plan to make all the curious people contribute to MacRumors so they can access the private forums and know what the hell is happening!

Not that contributing is a bad thing

I would not at all be surprised if you are right.

tempted to put some hair on mine and see what happens

Boy that is funny because that same thought came to my mind, however I don't think it would work too well with my avatar. I definitely would have tried it though if it fit with my avatar.

Whatever do you mean...?

I should not have said "all" the site admins use the wig, instead I should have said "some." Perhaps the following images will help.


Here is your avatar edesignuk (macrumors mod mini):



Here are some of the people's avatars that use the hair (on the girl) from your avatar:

WinterMute – Demi-God (Moderator)


iMeowbot - macrumors Demi-God


Doctor Q - Demi-God (Moderator)


Veldek - macrumors Demi-God


840quadra - macrumors Demi-God


Applespider - macrumors Demi-Goddess


CanadaRAM - macrumors Demi-God


Cooknn - macrumors Demi-God

Some "special" forum goers don't use edesignuk's avatar's hair as a wig for their avatar. Those avatars either have a different kind of hair or no hair at all on them. Here are some examples:

arn -[/B] macrumors god:


Nermal - Demi-God (Moderator):


bbarnhart - macrumors Demi-God:


zach - macrumors Demi-God:


zimv20 - macrumors Demi-God:


übergeek - macrumors Demi-Goddess


Wardofsky - macrumors Demi-God


wdlove - Contributor


wrldwzrd89 - macrumors Demi-God


wsteineker - macrumors Demi-God


(Continued on next post...)

(Continued from last post...)

teabgs - macrumors Demi-God


voicegy - macrumors Demi-God


timbloom - macrumors Demi-God


trebblekicked - macrumors Demi-God


Sayhey - macrumors Demi-God


seamuskrat - macrumors Demi-God


shadowfax - macrumors Demi-God


SilentPanda – Contributor


SiliconAddict – macrumors Demi-God


Mudbug – macrumors god

With this one it is hard to tell but I think part of the wig is there:

vniow - macrumors Demi-Goddess



Also I found somebody who isn't a moderator, admin, Demi-God, Demi-Goddess or contributer but does have the wig on his avatar. Here it is:

sethypoo - macrumors 65816



By the way... why does Zenith have an avatar when he is only a "macrumors regular"? Perhaps he/she is becoming a "special" MacRumors forum goer. Here is Zenith's avatar:

Zenith - macrumors regular

But as far as hair, I don't know what you are talking about.

You mean you do know what I am talking about but I won't know about it until I contribute.

I'm disapppointed, I was left out. Well, I don't post as much as most of the members you listed.

I would have gone through all the members in the Members List but it was already taking me too long so I just grabbed as many as I could and posted them. I am sorry that I left you out.

feakbeak said:

Still, I have no idea what's going on here. One day a couple weeks ago I logged onto MR and my bird had hair!

Interesting.

I am not "special" enough?

I thought there was something interesting about your avatar when I went through all the members that began with the letter "Y." I though the guy on your avatar had coffee on his mouth. I guess I should have looked closer, sorry.
