    Should GFY use avatars?

    I think they really can be a good form of artistic expression, or a gigantic distraction and a way for people to have 2 sigs.

    In any case, I know GFY has done well enough without them, but what's everyone think about it?

    Often times I've wondered if maybe there are avatars on GFY, but you have to get to a certain post-count to see them. That's just me being paranoid, though.

          Yep, and plus... What good are they for (except for an additional advertising spot ).

                              It's a message board. You want to be creative and express yourself, write something interesting.

                                  Doubt it. Wouldnt be any more of a drag compared to pic threads of the latest webmaster convention / dinner/ lunch/ party/ gangbang/ whatever, where there is an abundance of over-sized uncropped page spanning pics.

                                  Give us avatars!
                                  SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.

                                      maybe that's because you don't have to wait for 50 different avatars to load for every page?

                                      Additional bandwidth costs...

                                      NO.

                                              That pretty much sums it up.

                                                                      If you use a generic pool of avatars like some boards then every third person looks the same anyway. IF you allow custom avatars then its just more sig-style spam opportunities.

                                                                      In both cases, it slows down an already slow board.

                                                                      icq:159548293
