Avatars Put an end to popups!

Once again it is time to ask if Poly can survive with avatars?

So what do we think?

MarkG, are there any plans for bringing them back soon?

Nah, I can live without them. We didn't have them before vBB.

If you increase the limit for Custom Avatars to 1000 posts.

2000 should only count if the OT posts are counted, I'd probably have 5000+ if that was the case.

2000 would be okay for me as well, but I think that just decreasing the number of custom avatars as a change fron 500 to 1000 would be enough to not ruin the speed.

I'll drop the title then. I like my avatar.

Incidentally, has anyone got a more aggressive-looking wombat picture? If GP compares my avatar to a teddy-bear once again...

Well, if avatars were brought back an extra "punishment" could be inforced in addition to PCRs and bannings - revokation of avatar.

I would not see that as a big punishment, unless the revokation would be only permanent and placed more easily then a PCR or a ban is.

It is if a mod replaced the avatar with a particular image that would tarnish the image of the poster.
