Why do people steal icons?

Not that its happened to me personally, but I mainly associate peoples icons with their names. It gets fucking confusing when some ass clown, steals a creative icon idea (from a member whom I respect), and posts something retarded. Not that its a big deal to look up and just read the username and sort out my confusion. It just gets old when I see a bunch of Heath's cameras everywhere...




Do you really think that people won't notice? Just wonderin.

there's one other dude that has mine. i'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he might've just happened to have the same one, but it throws me off every time.

I'll make you one. If you know what you want and stuff.


Otherwise, get photoshop or some other editor.

i made my carlton icon to go with my carleton name and not many people of carleton names so i understand why they wouldn't steal the carlton icon.

Mine is a pic of me, not that you can tell, but I might be a bit pissed since it's actually a pic I took of me skiing. I still have the rabbit suit too.

icons are iconic. When a member "steals" an icon from another icon they are trying to be like that other member because he/she is popular and the thief is looking for undeserved attention. I doubt anyone would want to steal mine because it's simply a building.

Suggestion for users looking for icons. dig up some old threads, find an icon, see if that user hasn't logged on in 30 days, and steal away
