I'm just asking 'cause TAM is nearing, and I never saw any official annoucements about getting avatar badges made.

Either there wasn't one, or somehow I missed it. I dunno. Elighten me.

The last thing I remember reading said whoever mentioned them next was responsible. I'd suggest you get to work, not much time left.

I haven't seen an update either, but last year they distributed avatar stickers so that Forum memers could paste them to their badges. I don't know how they're doing it this year.

SkepticScott · 29th June 2009, 10:54 AM

Didn't KittyNH have the stickers at the Forum table last year?

Wowbagger · 29th June 2009, 11:14 AM

I'll ask kittyNH directly, I guess.

If I don't hear back from anyone, soon, we might have to take matters into our own hands.

Of course, I am preparing an avatar sticker for myself, anyway, in the event that whatever plans there are fail.
But, I suggest everyone else should try to do the same.

I could almost volunteer to do all of them, but time is tight for me. And, sometimes my color printer seems to get clogs (I am starting not to trust refill centers so much, anymore). We'll see what happens.

Can your printer handle animations?

In the form of a flip book, maybe.

I'm still a couple posts shy of getting an avatar, but not for long...

Jeff Wagg · 30th June 2009, 02:21 PM

I know of no plans to print avatar badges this year.

Kochanski · 30th June 2009, 02:58 PM

I could print some stickers up if people wanted, but we would need a thread here to gather them. I can print in sheets so people can cut them up and pick them up at the forum table. That is what we had last year, although, I don't know who printed them last year (I am thinking Remie but not sure).

arthwollipot · 30th June 2009, 07:03 PM

I see no-one's linked to the thread yet.

Volunteers did them last year. No one volunteered this year, to my knowledge
