Theymos accidentally[1] set everyone's activity to 1568 and everyone could have an avatar. It's fixed already though.

The forum is full of surprises. :D

Early today, theymos made it so that everyone could upload their own avatar and be a legendary member for some time. It is over now.

Okay thanks for letting me know, but shouldn't Theymos remove that avatar now?

He barely has time for the forum, I don't think he will manually remove it even if it was possible.
At any rate the avatars ,I think, will be removed any time an activity update is up and the user is online.

Yeah, he doesn't really have any reason to, lol. :)

No, I don't think it would be removed then. That is very unlikely. Had I uploaded an avatar when I joined (in 2013), even when it was disabled later it would still be there. So did all those accounts who had an avatar at that time. IIRC, there was even animated gifs, not sure if it is still there though.
Once it is uploaded it will stay unless the admin removes it.

Those that had animated gifs, still have them, but you cant upload any. Same thing as with this guy. If there were such a thing as account collectors this would be a collectors item.

Well hot digiddy. Lucky him. Did theymos do that on purpose, as a joke? If it was an accident, why was it 1568?

maybe he was doing some tests on the activity calculator (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1200720.msg12603713#msg12603713) thing using his test account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=41380) and accidentally set everyone's activity to that amount.

I don't really care though. it was fixed and we got some improvement in the end.

I guess that now I should lock this topic as my query has been solved and this isn't required anymore, this could only be used for spamming posts now, Nothing else.

Thankyou everyone :)
