Custom avatars/user pictures

Steoob

hi... just wondering abut the idea of having custom avatars or the option to show a picture underneath an avatar... thought its a better way of getting to know a poster better..

Doing so would be totally optional of course...

like i said before. those avatars are childish

you can tell a lot about someone by seeing their face
it would make this place less anonymous


how much € or ¢ in extra bandwidth would it cost?

this idea would make no difference imo

who cares what someone looks like?

i'd like to see custom avatars of peoples photos, but i don't see boards giving up it's major mega selling point of subscribing

maybe there should be an avatar request/approval forum

Yes, I am currently living in the US. What does that have to do with anything? Is everyone from Phoenix supposed to be childish or something? I dont get it.

Thats possibly the worst rebuttal I've ever seen, up there with
"nah-uh! and so are you!"

Could you wome up with something orginal, mayhaps?
Take a look at my previous posts. Find an example of where I posted something childish(there are numerous occasions) and link them.
That would make for a nice ironic argument.
Instead, you *snigger* make reference to my location.

<--- we already have that
it's called suscribing
you can stick any pic you want on your avatar then

Yeah you have to subscribe and one of the benefits is a custom title. If you really want to show your picture off to the world, use you signature.

I think every time somebody requests custom avatars we have a carnival. We make big paper maché versions of avatars and run down some street shouting NOW YER TALKIN!
