 |
|
I am a member of several other Internet forums of different topics that have avatars as an option. Any chance of enabling them here? I'll just bet `Swiftees' would get some VERY interesting choices from their members.

Any chance of explaining what an Avatar IS?
This is the only forum I'm a member of. |

an avatar is nothing but a tiny picture you can include next to your name on the left side where your name and info is when you post something  |

I would suggest we save the server for things that really mater. I do not see Avatar's as a need.
Just my $.02

You cant believe how many people pay fees to have an avatar on thier profile specially if it can be their own choice (avatar url link)
Just a thought for donations

Sorry to rain on your parades.... 
The founders want to keep a straight-forward, businesslike atmosphere in here, without a lot of graphics, cartoons, avatars, emoticons, etc.
And honestly, we are sooooo busy just keeping up with posts that it would be a lot of extra work to monitor avatars for taste, "image becoming the mission," etc.
We have enough trouble with sig lines staying in bounds.
We will kick it around though - thanks!

That kind of covers all the bases. Thanks to all for your inputs. Just a thought which IS only worth $0.02.
