On. First, some look cool. Second, I sometimes notice an avatar of an interesting poster and read the post... easier to notice when quickly looking through.

Had them off for the first weeks after vB switch, though, as loading times were intolerable.

Most have them on I'd say. They are fun, unless your connection is really slow. That is the only reason to turn them off.

On. It has been like that since my dial-up days. As others said, it is easy to skim through a thread and find the interesting posters at a glance. And I can see my cool avatar too.

Tired of ads?

Yes,

but they would be more helpful if some people wouldn't change their avatars every 3 weeks or so.

Come to think of it though, most of the people who post in the civ3 forums rarely change their avatars.

btw, where's the banana?

I have avatars turned off at home, but I turn them on at work where I have a faster 'net connection.

So I vote #3.

I can't beleive so many people have them turned on

I surf with them off since they're so ugly.

And only keep mine because it seems to work as a sort of charm

On. Easy to skim read, though I sometimes mix people up.

As for the avatar contest, there's a thread somewhere on the AC section.

Just because yours is ugly doesn't mean others are ugly too
