Heh. Glad I didn't click.

I click on the link and did not get the avatar.


yep, the link doesnt work anymore.


I wonder what happens now - i like many people got it through the link thinking it was a clickable avatar. It was only when i came on here i even realised there was a potential problem.
I don't hang around on the boards - they give me the creeps.

If people now have to pay for the avatar they will be upset. People who originally paid for the avatar are upset others got it for free. I can't see how they can remove the avatar from everyone who has acquired it through linking rather than legitimately. Looks like people who took the risk will be the only happy ones....

It is all rather a mess.

I clicked it last night, before this mess happened. I still have the avatar in my drop down list.

Some people on the Premium board are reporting they've lost the avatar now. So it looks like TNT will probably take it away from anyone who used the link. Which I think is fair.

Oh man, because of that? That's horrible. I'm glad i live in this time zone

Taking the avatar away I think is the only fair thing to do. However, if people DID get into Kelp, did pay for a meal and got it that way, I'm sure they are not happy campers. But I don't know if there's away (I guess there is?) for TNT to be able to tell who got the avi which way?

I am glad I didn't give in to temptation and click that link! Just kept saying "it's not worth it, it's not worth it" to myself.

bijon, why'd your account get frozen? Did they say you were exploiting a glitch or something? Am SO very, very sorry :( I hope it wasn't the avatar. That is a truly absurd reason for freezing someone.

This is kinda like the Bilge Dice or the Neomail Addict avatars.
