Well can't you just allow jpg?

you could, but then someone has to draw the line at what is and what isn't acceptable. and that just creates even more b!tching and whining.

if it aint broke, don't fix it. forums are good the way they are.


Hm if you say so
You have a point but
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's the very same reason why in many other aspects in humanity, humanity ain't improving much.

that sounds a little bit...i dunno...Hitler-ish?

Because I quoted that off him
 
How about they just make more avatars for wider selection?

What are we missing? chair, door, loads of faces, etc

Ive gone from the money symbol, to the chart, nothing else really looks like me
 
I think we have a great variety of avatars available, but the more the better. Custom avatars will not happen, abuse would be rampant, and moderation would be very difficult.
 
Yup, I think it's a good idea too, but the man power it would take to approve and/or moderate the avatars would just be too much. A few people would abuse it....and once again the few ruin it for the many.
