I keep seeing people's avatars being changed from what they used to be, to that avatar being eaten by a shark. Why is that shark so common?

The Girlshark Wizbro commands it.

Findecanor · « **Reply #5 on:** Sat, 19 December 2015, 15:18:36 »

I think it was in the events of the 2014 celebrity nude photo hack (also known as "The Fappening" ... ) that it was said that one of the female celebs' password had been "girlshark" and that another girl celeb's password had been "wizbro". One member here googled "girlshark" and found an image that he started used as avatar.
It spun off from there.

But the especially large number of shark avatars right now ... is because of this giveaway.

I didn't know this history. I just figured Halverson was making up words.

So what is the shark actually from? Does anyone know?

I know this thread is recent, but I thought maybe the story of how the shark originally started made sense and fit the timeline... Did I just get taken for a ride?

Oh crap I meant the OP of the Church thread. My bad! Forgot what thread we are in.

Halverson · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 19 December 2015, 16:19:29 »

There's no history other than I chose an avatar, a dude made my church. We've had fun playing with my avatar years ago. Every once in awhile we like to do this to bring fun and cheer. About a dozen of us have been waiting all week to have some fun.

The giveaway? I don't like forcing an avatar change, it's not supposed to be like that. We just hoped that all who wanted to be silly sharks for the weekend would want a gift

It's a small shout out to the days of old, where moose wasn't banned and inlikeflynn frequented the forum(he made the pamphlet).

Sorry for the rant! Any more questions may be answered. I'd prefer everyone to just do what they want, do what's fun. If this whole thing annoys you, I'm sorry, lay low till Monday.
