Question Did YOU like Spudz??

It has come to my attention that many people seem to dislike Spudz, from Icrontic. What's your opinion on him??

He had 'tude, and liked that. But he wasn't 'tech'enough for a computer site.
A new mascot is going to be hard.
But it will be a fun thread.

I for one, will not miss Spudz. Never did figure out what that dumb-looking ape had to do with anything.

What is good though, is to see you guys posting here! It's good to have an Internet home again.

Someone sent me an Adobe Illustrator file with a ton of Spudz pics before. I was never able to open it (no adobe illustrator), but I can see the mini-preview when I open the folder with it in it.

i didn't like spudz. I didn't understand his connection to the site, or the meaning of his name. He played a very small part in our community for a mascot.

I never really thought either way about Mr. spudz...
As a tribute to spudz and Icrontic however, I think Im gonna let him stay, sittin pretty, on my cheesy little Icrontic case badge I scored some time back...

That is, until I can nab a short-media one. Only then will I retire the hokey little pimpstar ;P

Bah.

When I first started reading this thread I was like who the hell is Spudz?
*shakes cobwebs out of brain*

Got it. I really didn't think too much about spudz. He served his purpose.

I actually liked him. Just a cool image on the top. Would't consider him as a mascot. Never saw anything wrong about it.

Heh... Spudz was tight G... what what...

In other words, no, he was stupid and had nothing to do with computers. That dumb picture did nothing but make Icrontic look rediculous... Thank god he's gone.

So regardless of what we all thought of Spudz, are we going to get ourselves a new mascot in the future or something to that effect?

Grew On me

My initial reaction to Spudz (way back when) was very negative. I will admit that he grew on me over time, but I think that was mostly due to the fact that my overall affection for Icrontic increased over time.

He was kind of like some of those goofy sports mascots, like the Philly Phanatic, or Slider (Cleveland Indians). They are kind of dumb in their own right, but your love of the team causes you to accept them, warts and all.

Prof

PS: I wouldn't mind having a mascot for S-M, but I think it ought to be something more readily identifiable with computers and less likely to evoke images of a teenage mafioso

I think the folding team needs one, but not really the site in general.

Glad you bumped it. I see that I voted back in 2003 that I didn't like him, but now my opinion's changed. I must be getting sentimental in my old age
