This would be a really cool new AnandTech Avatar....

[MainFramed]

The AnandTech 'A' that would be a neat one

Uh, not really. I'd rather see other more useful avatars. Besides, if you add one letter of the Latin alphabet, you'll sooner or later get requests for all of them. Then, before you know it, people will be wanting Cyrillic (sp?), Japanese, Greek, and Hebrew letters and more.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a useful avatar.

I agree, and people would have to understand....its not an A for A its an A for ANANDTECH......

Too big, 50 x 50 maximum. What we do need is more fish and birds. Mmmm, fish...

 

[JC]

I think a martian would be cool. If only I could find one.....

 

[John]

How about a Clown Trigger Fish

 

[amdskip]

I agree we do need more.

more avatars = more bandwidth, and with about 2000 page views at any given time, (*I know I have my stats off there) thats alot of bandwidth...even if the avatars are extremely small...

devils advocate off....

Thats why we should be able to post our own when we say reach a certain status such as a senior level or something and have them the same size and not be offensive.

I still say we need a Ferengi avatar. And don't give me the "paramount is sticky with their trademarks" b.s. line -- we already have the Borg Guy

 

[Maetryx]

We need a snake that doesn't look quite so cute and friendly.

 

[Azraele]

We definately need a dragon.

 

[Insidious]

We need a pirate

Though, I am curious about these usefull avatars?

 

[HappyPuppy]

We need a happy looking dog.

 

[Wolfie]

Don't you like your puppy? I like mine. But I guess it's a little too "wolfie" for you.

MORE MORE MORE!!!

Wolfie

It would be a cool subscriber feature to be able to upload your own avatar.

 

[Kev]

BTW all the avatars that are available now are butt ugly. They look like clip art on an 10 year old AOL member's "My First Web Page."

Do you really expect to be taken seriously? Constructive criticism is one thing, but you're nowhere near that ballpark.
