Avatar Retirement Home Now Open (updated)

This concept was inspired by epidemix's teddy monster.

Have you retired an avatar? Is it locked away in a disk drive dungeon? Why not let your faithful avatar sit on the front porch in a rocking chair with other retired avatars?

NOW OPEN - The IB Avatar Retirement Home™ (managed by iQon).

COST: free

WEB ADDRESS OF THE HOME: Qube5

HOW TO ADMIT YOUR LOVED ONE:
email me your avatar(s) with the following information
TITLE and/or NAME:
[................]
DESCRIPTION:
(suggestion: include the start-stop date your avatar was in the IB major leagues)
[................]
URL TO YOUR IB PAGE
[................]

Once your loved one is processed he/she/it will be assigned a room. Family and friends may visit your loved ones 24-hours a day.

email your avatar to:
ib.retire < a t > qube5.com

This is hilarious. =)

tamashii on May 16, 2007

I agree with justG (of course, her’s retire every time she gets a new set, hehe).

I wouldn’t say my original one is retired, but I am really getting more and more attached to my IB Shinobi avi. Let me get back to you on this.

justG on May 16, 2007

Oi! None of mine is retired yet. I've got 30 different ones. Only when one of them is replaced will it be considered retired. =] You'd best not let the other 29 hear you talking about prematurely admitting them to the old folks' home, tamashii; they might gang up on your wee ninja there. =]

iqon on May 16, 2007

You can always bring a favorite out of retirment.

iqon on May 16, 2007

By the way: if you want your current avatar placed in the home, post the admissions info on my page and there is no need to email me.

tamashii on May 16, 2007

@justG: hehe, I meant more that every time you spend tokens, a new avi pops up. Totally misspoke, hehe, sorry.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have the kunai to fend off an onslaught of your avatars.

I use my old one on other websites. Did y'all know there are other websites?

tamashii on May 16, 2007

BLASPHEMER!!!!!

anti on May 16, 2007

Not that I condone them or anything, it just happens.

anti on May 16, 2007

Look everybody, It's me! iqon's page!

bcarneiro on May 16, 2007

Love it!

lparziale on May 16, 2007

Just retired my first one, to adopt the IB Anon tag.... will send it to the comfort of the retirement home. After taking care of me for so long, it certainly deserves it!

gyrom on May 25, 2007

awesome idea!

tommythewolfboy on Jun 05, 2007

Absolutely awesome idea!

Forevagrey on Jun 10, 2007

i sent mine over.

FallenAngel on Jun 10, 2007

Two questions....what are these "other websites" of which you speak?

And if we retire avs, are they eligible to receive a pension? <g>

iqon on Jun 11, 2007

@FallenAngel - the retirement home resides at a location beyond IconBuffet.com (here).

Pensions for retired avs depends on the benefits package you selected for your avatar. iQon's Avatar Retirement Home™ is a non-profit project open to any avatar that served on the IB site regardless of species, nationality, or guild affiliation.

anti's Cat in a Hat, piramp, is comfortably resting in iQon's Avatar Retirement Home™. piramp chose to share a room with anti's other retired avatar
