What's starting to crack me up is people whining about how selfish the person is not to tell. Not that there's a prize at stake like in the LC, but it's still something you're supposed to try and figure out. A few people seem to have gotten awfully spoiled by being able to go to the AC board and help sites and get the answer to unlocking avs that other people spent their time figuring out, heh.
Honestly?
I think that people who get an avatar first and DON'T want to tell other people how to get it should keep their mouths shut. No one knows whether you've gotten an avatar unless you change your avatar and start posting on the Neoboards, after all. Tantalizing people but refusing to give them the solution is just mean.
Anyone who cares enough about avatars to go look for the solution themselves has doubtless benefitted from other peoples' work at unlocking avatar solutions literally hundreds of times. I think that using OTHER people's time and hard work to get avatars, but then refusing to share yourself when you happen to find one early IS selfish. Unless they've literally never used a hint or a help site to get an avatar then they're accepting help from others but refusing to help people in turn. That, as Cranberry put it, is just not on.
