killybob -> More Freedom With Personal Avatars (7/22/2012 21:05:33)

This suggestion addresses personal avatar images. It doesn't take much observation to notice that there are a set amount of images that can be used as your avatar, and I was just wondering if it could be an option to import an image from a saved file instead of using one from the forum image banks. I know this isn't a revolutionary, or vitally important idea, but I just feel it would be a nice way to add an additional personal touch to the forum.

Is this idea likely to ever happen? and if not, what would the problems be?

(btw I apologise if this idea has been posted before. I checked but couldn't see one similar anywhere)

This is mostly covered under:

3) "Why can't everybody have a custom avatar?"
First, practically speaking, storage space can be tight sometimes. We have a lot of posts in the database, and a lot of members.
Second, speaking on policy, custom avatars are a privilege used to denote status. They are given either to those who are helpful or creative or to those who volunteer their time.
Third, aesthetically speaking, we have made the decision that all of our publicly-available avatars would be based on the Artix Entertainment games. This is an Artix Entertainment forum. If you're not satisfied with the choices, submit your own AE-related avatars or earn the privilege to upload your own.


Also everyone having custom avatars would mean more work for forum staff to make sure avatars are appropriate.

Thank you. I had a suspicion something similar had been posted. this topic can be locked or closed or whatever.
