Edit | I'm curious as to what peoples' avatars really are. I know some of them (the animated ralph, the One Ring, I'm trying to remember more), but a few of them I have no idea of what they are supposed to be.
Mine is a MTG card. |

But before I've had the TCU logo (horned frogs) and Phobos (the moon).

Total Posts: 2486 | We may eventually do that, I've already thought of implementing that but just never really got around to. The avatar text is not based on posts and anyone can generally have it, but there's a trick to display it. As of now, we'd generally tell regulars and admins how to put avatar text. Though, we may eventually change that and make it so that anyone can easily add avatar text. Though, we may have to think about that. If you want to learn how to display avatar text you can PM me.

Total Posts: 1892 | Well, who are you referring to when you say "your." Are you asking about someone else's status, or did you mean "you're" and are referencing yourself?
In either case, there is really no definable definition.
About your avatar, you can change the dimensions in your profile, but you may need to resize your image manually, I'm not sure if the poll script expands it, probably now. |

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, if you guys post some links or suggest good pics, I may be able to find some time to scale them down and put on CG server. Tho, I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to have generic avatars since everyone wants a different one. And if people start using same avatars for a "just to have one" purpose then forums can become quite confusing for those who tend to identify other folks by their avatars (like me).

Total Posts: 1892 | Yeah, I must admit that I use avatars to see who posted something as well. Like when JC had that clone, I got irritated and confused rather fast.
Maybe you could have a checkbox for a "standard" avatar, a picture that reads "I'm too lazy to find, resize, and upload my avatar." :-)

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, the new pic is from Space Marine Griffon series by Masamune Shirow. Btw, M. Shirow is like anime god! If you've never heard of him then I don't know what to say. He's the guy behind some of the best anime such as GITS, Black Magic, many manga series, lots of amazing CGs and other cool anime stuff. I have a few other avatars from his great artworks, feel free to use these avatars for the time being if you like them, don't use the same one I'm using right now tho (pic number 3).
avatar folder is: http://www.calcgames.org/tzimages/_master/_avatars/
