Up the avatar size

[Edmund Blackadder]

For users with under however many thousand posts you need 50 x 50 avatars are pointless. This is the only site I've seen that imposes such strict limits on avatars, sort it out

Quite you avatarless fool! Bow before my 100 x 100 power!!

Your eloquent debating powers and the sweetness of your request touched us deeply.........we have decided that all avatars from henceforth shall be eliminated entirely.

Have a nice day.

oh way to go!

I love that there is a limit to the sizes of avatars. I hate going to boards and seeing these huge as avatars that take up the whole left side of the screen.

You have brought up many good points for us to debate here, thank you.

What do you think this is? SHH! for Dummies?

 

[Eggyman]

Vanity.

They're big enough.

i miss the days when you had to get 3,000 just to get an avatar

I was really excited...

Why does it say In one of the threads something like once you got 100-999 posts you can get a better Avvy/ a .gif avvy long story short, members with a lower post count then me have a .gif avatar...why don't I?, (the pic uploaded is a .gif but it won't move )

 

[Drakon]

Your gif is broken.

Also, if I had my way, these silly 100x100x avatars would be eliminated completely and we'd only have 50x50 again, or at most 75x75.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I personally would love to see the KB limit upped by 30kb per size.

I think that 100x100 is great--I also think that this posting count is good so only regulars get to load bigger avatars.. I still think that 50x50 and 75x75 is way too small (specially for big screens). So the poll (?) should be.. everyone gets a 100x100 or no avatar at all

what do you mean 'broken'? the Mr X (Homer Simpson) gif wouldn't move either, plus now i have 700 POSTS t:

i dont care about the 50x50, 75x75 and 100x100 i just want then to increase the file size limit. 20kb for a 50 is too litlle

So we could get more animated murder conspiracy fun..?

Simply put, its done for two reasons.
1) Its somewhat a "status symbol"
2) Its a limitation because of bandwidth. Bandwidth is expensive and this is our way of saving a little money.

It would definitely give more options in making gif avy's.....

bandwidth, bandwidth.. does the bandwidth that most users steal counts..? I mean, with all the hot-linking that goes around here..

 

[SuperMonkey]

"money"?

Really?

 

[Drakon]

Really?

Well, we could start charging for new accounts. That'd also help behaviour issues, since people would think before they posted because they'd want to avoid wasting $10 on an account

 

[Marden]

I have to say the image usage is kind of strict here, but I understand the reasons.

 

[Darkfly]

would be cool to have 150px x 150x when you get to 10,000 posts

 

[Troy_Parker]

^^ Shut up you .gif avatared fool lol

 

[04nbod]

I like that my avatar is readable. any smaller and that goes away
