I'm wondering why some people in the comments section under a front page review have avatars?!? How do they do that?
I don't really know what avatars should be useful for... I'm not even looking at who's the author of a post, so why should I look a the avatars?...
Well, although avatars and signatures(pics/CSS in the sig) are useless for some people, i find it useful. On any forum, its useful, for friends(on the forum) so you can recognize them easier. And for some people, its just a way of showing who you are, what you like(ex:the picture in the sig, or the avatar. Anyways i'd say yes for the avatars.
Avatars are fun. Games are about fun. TA is about fun It would be cool to have them someday. And they can always be optional if they annoy people. At the same time, if I owned this site, they wouldn't be the first thing I'd devote time or bandwidth to.
Definitely would like to have avatars. It helps identify users much quicker and easier. Cap the image at 100x100 JPEG only if you don't want GIFs. Most people like amusing avatars anyways, so it would make this forum a more lively and interesting place. Also have a report system where bad avatars can be reported. I don't think this is too much to ask.
you know before i got my ipod i had never heard of a forum that didn't allow signatures, let alone avatars iirc every ipod forum i've been to doesn't allow sigs, which is pretty weird i think that was a bit off topic so uh, yeah avatars would be cool
Agreeing with Camzy, definitely no gifs. That'd would completely trash the clean look of the forums. I use to lurk in an old gaming forum a couple years back. You have no idea how fast pelvic-thrusting Startroopers and break-dancing teddy bears get old.
Why do you guys need a picture, or avatar to dress up. I don't care what picture you have. I can identify people just fine by there username. This isn't your myspace it's a games forum with the purpose of discussing games.
if we would have avatars this would be mine (updated): so any news on the possibility of having avatars?
5$ a year for avatars. I think thats worth considering and if I still find myself here 2 months later(cant think of any reason I wouldn, but just in case) you can count me in. How bout a real poll for this one. If TA sees that 20%+ users are willing to shell out 5 bucks a year just for hosting their avatars, they might consider it.
lols this thread is prob the most genuine collection of TA's biggest morons- past through present. jk there's no rocketman, brewstermax, superbad, candynj666, klondike, everydaynormalguy. also: wtf is a startrooper?
