This is not a chat room. If you want that, get a web cam and use one of the IM clients.

Why not? Poll isn't much necessary :/ Who'd be against this *wonderful* idea?

Fusetalk already allows it - this question comes up all the time, and it has already been decided.
 
yes, lets have custom avatars so people can put up "OMGKAWAIANIMEGIFS"...that's what we need, a whole bunch of anime gifs moving around on the screen with their overemphasized emotions.
 
This belongs in forum issues. And even then, they won't allow it. They don't want to open that door, they don't want the abuse it'll undoubtedly bring.

Too much of a possibility of abuse, too much regulation of avatar standards, and a less streamlined look.

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.

Have we all become too serious here
Forums are for exchange of opinions but more importantly a place for relaxation and fun :/

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.
