Welcome. Quick word of advice. High 5s and Bitchslaps don't count for anything. People like to give them out for any, or no, reason. Whole threads are made up of people bitchslapping each other. There are no prizes for getting a bunch of H5s and you don't get banned if you get a bunch of BSs. Don't pay too much attention to them.
As for the avatar... Don't know what to tell you. People are going to jerk your chain for a 100 different reasons. Mainly to see if you can hack it. A lot can't. It's our little form of hazing.
Now, bitchslaps all around.
