I second that strike. If it's available in LQ Downloads, it should at least have a sub-forum. :twocents: Cheers Bill |

for those saying that an avatar helps create individuality, look at the custom member titles and at post signatures, both do exactly the same thing. The biggest nenfit to no avatars, this site works with lynx!! :D well, ok, it mostly works with lynx, since lynx doesn't play nice with tables, javascript, images, flash and frames. [ yes, the wordpress based reply box loses functions without javascript ] |

dragonslayer48dx, I think you've almost certainly misunderstood Ray's tone.

Thank you Jeremy, for not allowing avatars (and also for this site).
I hate them, especially the ones which are an animated .gif flashing away in the corner of your eye whilst trying to read. |

best case it will tell me that the person posting this has poor taste (a different taste than mine), in worse cases it will tell me about some ego problem or mental disorder, and in the worst cases they'll be plain out to annoy others (which arguably falls into the "ego problem or mental disorder" category as well).

We have more than a quarter of a million members on the site - in the time that I have been here, some names stand out and others don't. Having a small picture would not make a difference to me - I know, by reading their posts, who is generally knowledgeable and who knows a lot about particular subjects. The picture is an unnecessary overhead.
And we do have some members who are on dial up or otherwise slow connections - anything we can do to make their browsing experience better and quicker will always take precedence over aesthetics. |
Avatars = Pointless Eye Candy

No brian, eye candy = good (at least down here - but sexist).
I think you mean visual polution |

As for myself, i think i could just copy past Ian's post.
I think avatars make sites look trashy, unofficial and unreliable... this site is clean and it brings a sense of trust and reliability... while some friends of mine (big gamers) seem to have problems at school as they visit sites where many images (sometimes avatars) call attention, and just get that site on the school's proxy, i visit this site occasionally , it does not call negative attention, looks wholesome, and it does not end up on the proxy, and i am not even nagged about it. |
