: It has now come to my attention from several different sources,
: including official ones, that excite do not allow the use of
: programs like Dizzler and Big Head avatars. They do this for
: various reasons including the prevention of lag.

: It seems inappropriate for the guild to support something that
: excite is against, a new member could inadvertantly start using
: Big Head avatars or animated avatars because of a guild
: recommendation and that could cause problems for them online.

: So the guild will not admit sites containing big head avatars or
: the dizzler tools, the guild will also not allow sites which contain
: vp hacking tools or links to sites that contain such tools.

: Please continue to post your views on this subject.

:
: : I know that the Guild is supporting the
: : Big Head Avatar and Dizzyer.

: : The only problem I see about the Big Head Avatars, is that in Excites
: : VP, they are not allowed. I think the main reason is that the software
: : used with the Big Head Avatars is a hacked VP game. But of course you
: : can make the software yourself.

: : And they cause lag. And from what I understand if you get a warning
: : from a host and don't change your large avatar to a regular size one,
: : you will be kicked out of the room. They are not permitted in Excite
: : at all.

: : And the Dizzyer causes lag too, and now from what I hear Excite VP does
: : not allow them either. Personally, I think the Dizzyer is neat but it
: : can be annoying.

: : Both the Big Head Avatar and Dizzyer, might be better off in a private
: : room. But I would not advice them in a regular chat room.

: : Kitty

I sure appreciate the feed back on this, as it was getting a bit
confusing. I ran across my first Big Head av in Excite last
night. I thought to myself...if everyone used these, it wouldn't
take long to fill and cover the whole room! So....thanks for
letting me know about the Guilds non support of them. They are
a bit unnerving. :}
Thanks!!!! SheLion
