Since my return to this forum some months back, I have been seeing this Avatar worn by different people in this forum and it made me curious and just as you probably predicted, I went straight to Google to search for the club and what it means (I thought it was an offline bike cycling club Grin) and I couldn't find a single result so in my free time, I decided to go through the forum and find out what it truly means being the curious person that I am, I decided to get to the root of the matter and discover what it is all about.

My research wasn't as easy as I expected and it took me quite a while to piece together the puzzle, it all started as a conspiracy theory when someone accuses Foxpup (A well known member) of having a club or gang where they cycle merits within themselves in other to rank up or control the forum, I found this absurd for good reason and I am going to mention them below:

For example, anybody who has earned any merit in this forum can testify to the fact that they earned that merit because of a good or helpful post, so imagine if you made. Avoid or helpful post everytime you make a post, not only would your efforts be noticed, but every single of those posts could earn you multiple merits, this is the best way to rank up in this forum and many people has done this successfully, some people started from scratch and are now high ranking members and below are some of them:
BITCOIN4X : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211323.0
Upgrade00 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5207053.0
Findingnemo : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211206.0
Juggy777 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5204634.0
Cryptoneurbrainboss and so many others has done it too.


What I am basically trying to achieve by wearing this Avatar is to constantly remind everyone that wishes to rank up in this forum that there is no easy way to do.it, there is no magical club to join and cycle merit (because it would have been discovered and busted and your account would be banned), just make quality posts in the forum and you would be getting so many merits that people would start getting jealous of your success and start making wild accusations about a cycling club.

Also, I love comedy and this conspiracy theory is so hilarious that I decided to always keep the avatar as a private joke which is guaranteed to make me laugh whenever I am online and u would keep this Avatar until I decide to join a campaign that makes it compulsory for me to change my Avatar.

My work schedule offline would not allow me to spend a lot of time in this forum but one of my 2020 resolutions is to make Hero member rank by my own steam before next year ends and if I can do that with my busy schedule, so can you, let's do it together!.

EDIT
rosezionjohn just pointed this out to me now.
Since I stand firmly against all these PAID2POST campaigns and feel only NET POSITIVE services should be advertised on the forum, I present...

Man, does any single thing is in need of it's own ideology these days?
I'm not saying that your approach is somehow invalid but this feeling of sucking up to a specific group... o, it's there  Wink
Seriously, I was in search of an avatar, they made this as a joke (I presumed), boom - works for me, let's troll some newbies yet so slightly... just a little and as I said, it's a nice graphic design on it's own.

...and I wear it because its pretty  Grin
I can't deny the fact that if it was ugly, I wouldn't have worn it, but the picture is also like art, it's so ironic and there are many massages passed across as something else, I spend weeks thinking it was a bike cycling club before i discovered what it really meant.

Man, does any single thing is in need of it's own ideology these days?
I'm not saying that your approach is somehow invalid but this feeling of sucking up to a specific group... o, it's there  Wink
I think we all need to have our own ideologies to do what we do, we have to have a set of personal principles that govern what we do, it too k me weeks of reading old conversations to get the full gist or my own idea about what was really going on and I decided to not just make it easier on other curious people like me, but also to inspire the newbies and those that aspire to rank up, that is my ideology.

As far as I know, only one person is being paid to actually wear this Avatar and that's LoyceV, he has been wearing it for almost 40 weeks now, if someone else is getting paid to wear it, I haven't seen it yet.

Happy to see my name on your list. Smiley

Forum members should make more useful posts which could be enforced when they need merits to rank up so they need to understand how to earn merits but never start posting for getting merits which could make you be more worse.

You deserve it and much more, you're already on your way to Sn Member and you started from scratch, that is very commendable.

suchmoon is being paid too.

Damn, obviously I need to do more research about it but thanks for pointing it out, obviously two heads are better than one.

I went straight to Google to search for the club and what it means
The real club is far too exclusive to appear on a clearnet search engine like Google.

Furthermore, I take my payment mostly in sexual favors.

I feel cheated already, Foxpup should come and give me my own payment, I would even accept fox milk, ofcourse I would be patient enough to wait until the Foxpup grows into a fox lady.

But I am still wondering how your own payment works since Foxpup is still a pup Grin

I haven't checked for real data yet, but I feel there's been less Merit cycling amongst club members since we joined Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club.

Does anyone have the time to produce some graphs? Cheesy Here's all the data you need:

Sure, gimme 5, I'll rustle up something quick and nasty. Wink



Graphs for each of us included below, showing only merit received from the other 3. Red lines indicate date of joining the Foxclub. Date in dd/mm/yyyy format.
As you hypothesized, it would seem our cycling has been slowing down over the last 3 months or so.

With some totally biased reasoning I notice 4 things:
1. o_e_l_e_o has indeed cycled insane amounts of Merit Tongue
2. The exponential increasing Merit amounts for all 3 avatar wearing Cycling Club members starts flattening towards an S curve from the moment they joined Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club
3. Foxpup's Merit total benefits from the Cycling Club
4. o_e_l_e_o doesn't like typing o_e_l_e_o either, and just uses oeleo!

Annnnd the mystery is solved,  Kind of.
I was wondering why more and more members seems to have this foxy cycle avatar I actually thought it was cycling club but again didn't find much of it online.

Thanks for the explanation on what it's actually for I hope the merit cheats get the ban hammer!
Now to go scrape the onion peel  Grin

2. The exponential increasing Merit amounts for all 3 avatar wearing Cycling Club members starts flattening towards an S curve from the moment they joined Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club
Do you think we all made a subconscious decision upon joining the Foxclub to send less merit to each other to counter any potential claims of actual merit cycling?

4. o_e_l_e_o doesn't like typing o_e_l_e_o either, and just uses oeleo!
God yeah, my name is annoying as hell. oeleo or even just Leo is fine. I've considered asking theymos to change it, but I do like how easy it is to spot in lists or large paragraphs of text.

Since I don't know you quite well enough to share bodily fluids, have some merits instead. Wink

But I am still wondering how your own payment works since Foxpup is still a pup Grin

If my payment was physical and it was placed on my body, I would not bath for the rest of the year so I could preserve the imprint until 2020 but since it's in my account, my account hereby pledges to preserve it until we're too old and our bones are too weak to cycle any bikes no more. Cheesy

Annnnd the mystery is solved,  Kind of.
I was wondering why more and more members seems to have this foxy cycle avatar I actually thought it was cycling club but again didn't find much of it online.
The funny fact is that many people wearing the Avatar do not even know the meaning, they are just wearing it because it looks beautiful, they don't know that they are actually passing a message across to everyone who sees it... Atleast those who gets it.
