    You don't seem to understand. This is not a democracy. To get this changed you will have to convince Apex or Leon that it should be so.
    What we think is irrelivant. To many posters will be going over 1000 posts for them to deal with custom avitars. I'm sure it's something they don't want to deal with just yet.

    They already know we want it lowered!

    This is just going to aggrivate them. If I was a Mod I would boost the posts required to 6500 and permantly change your avitar to a jackass just out of spite for bringing it up again.

    Look, just ask for some Disney avitars. We all know you just want Dopey as your avitar.

    yeah, i think we won't be drooling for customs in a few months when there are more choices. and disney ones probly should be the next round... that would be cool. some of the obscure characters... scrooge mcduck...

    of course, not until i durned well get my star wars avatars...me first!

    Those who reach 6000 deserve it. Otherwise, I think there are enough choices to go around for most everyone.

    I wonder how many years it will take for someone to get to 6000 posts.

    of 6300 members, there are 332 members with over 100 posts. there are 33 members with over 1000 posts.

    not that i have an opinion, just saying that moving the custom mark to the 1000-post range wouldn't swamp them too badly, since only about 5% of the membership will become as insane as us anytime soon.

    each avatar is usually limited in ( <= 5k) size, so it's not like the upstream bandwidth or the storage space will be a problem either...

    if not 1000 posts, make it anything but 6000. maybe like 1500 or something like that. how is it gonna "swamp" them anyway? avatars are avatars.. establish some rules for having avatars and everything will be ok.

    I guess it gives us as posters something to look up too. And it encourages us to keep on posting. Which is what G|A is all about.

    6000 is a bit high, no one is that high yet..... maybe something for true G|A posters, i say around 2500-3000, it would take low posters like me a year or 2 to hit that

  18. #18
    While I don't think they will change it, I think 2k would be a good number. By that time a poster has pretty well defind themselves and everyone knows who they are.

    weeeeeeell...as i see it, the other option would be spamming for post counts. But seriously, i think they should have better avatars, if not lower number of posts for custom avatars. I mean, have you SEEN the selection for the number of posts that i have?!?! They suck. I think there should be better avatars... and if not better ones... let us make our own.

    I wanted to put a custom avatar of my parrot maggie's head to match with my name. So much for that. 6,000 is just ridiculous! Does anyone on here even have that many??

    True.

    Each avatar is under 5k. There are only 34 people over 1000 posts. That means 170k in disk space (max). That doesnt seem like a lot of space...otherwise we may be subjected to a huge increase of 'and closer' threads and posts

    actually, i'm going to hereby declare that i already HAVE a custom avatar. don't believe me? any one of you 33 other bozos over 1000 posts just TRY to use the same avatar as me... go ahead... i dare you...
