Happier Abroad Forum Community

I can't believe no one has ever done this before! Okay, my avatar is my actual picture of me. Who's next? Don't be shy! I just want to see how you guys look. I only seen Winston and a few others in avatars. Anyway, let me start!

Here is the blown up version.

Phoenix! I've thought the same thing. I'm curious to see how everyone looks as well. I'm having a problem uploading a another picture. I'll try later.

I'm not good at censoring what I say, as a result I don't want anyone knowing what I look like.

nope you already know what i look like

Aren't you worried about trolls stealing your pictures? I would only exchange pics by pm.

I hope some folks are braver abroad then they are on an internet forum... lmfao!!!

That is actually a good point. I was about to post mine until I realized that it could be used against me.

Smug is not the word. It's called debonair....

billy, you are a self-hating apostate Turk with a massive inferiority complex and insecurity streak a mile wide.

Explain yourself.

I have encountered several weak-minded Turks in my travels who display this same inferiority complex, yearning to be white and European, but know will never be accepted as European.

You feel inferior and copy the West, having disavowed history, and with no grasp of identity in the modern world.

Started with Attaturk and his secular program and emulation of the West.

See my avatar.

Is this why you have an avatar of Tupak.

That's not Tupac, it's the member known as ssjparris.

It keeps saying the pic is too big. Even when it is small. I do not know what to do. Any pointers?

This has actually happened on another forum I'm on. Trolls not only got pictures but found the real names and addresses of some members and put up a blog full of personal information with embarrassing quotes from the forum. They were aided in this by a disgruntled former member. Once your info is out there it's very hard and usually impossible to get rid of it. Given some of the more unstable characters on here, as well as the fact that a forum like this is a target for trolls, I'd wary of sharing much personal info on the forum, including pictures.
