[color=royalblue]Okay, as most of you will have noticed, all our previous avatars have not yet been transferred.

There is a reason for that, however.

First and foremost, [b]all users[/b] can now use custom avatars as soon as they register; you require [b]zero[/b] posts to use them.

Both myself and the other staff found that too many people were spamming just to get a custom avatar. So now, they're standard.

Also, all our 50x50 avatars will no longer be used. Instead, we'll have a gallery of bigger 60x60 avatars for those who can't decide on a custom one.

I'll be making arrangements for a new avatar gallery soon, so watch this space. :)[/color]

But it does sort of take the fun out of trying to achieve the 500 posts, lol [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=royalblue]And that's the idea. ;)

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any suitable alternative for post counts. There was just nothing appropriate out there.

So, by eliminating any reason to achieve higher posts...we're discouraging spam in that way. We even thought of removing post count numbers altogether...

The focus should be on quality and not quantity. :)[/color]

I was actually hoping someone would, but I guess not. I'm glad we're getting the gallery back soon, because I can't seem to find a good custom avatar.[/color][/size]

Cool. I've been wanting a custom avatar since I joined, but I haven't even gotten to 100 posts yet and I joined a year ago. The problem is, I can't access my control panel. Every time I try it say page cannot be displayed of something like that.

The drop-down menu on the bottom of every page works.

[color=teal]I'm very glad that you made custom avatars standard, James. I would never have spammed to get it, but I was always quite anxious to have one.

Even so, I already have 500 posts, so I'm unaffected. It's a good deal for friends I invite over here, though, lol.[/color]

:blah:

[font=Times New Roman]I honestly think that wouldn't be such a bad idea. But I'm glad that the post count titles have been done with. I always felt a little weird, being an oldbie but not being an otaku or even an extreme otaku like all the rest of them. And then having newer members having higher post counts than me. O_o;;[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]And I really, honestly don't care how many times I've posted. However, I don't get why anyone should care how many posts they have or how many posts someone else has. Just because someone has a higher post count doesn't really mean that they're better than anyone else. O_o;; Like you said, quality over quantity.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]But anyway, I am happy that we're going to be getting some custom avvies back. Those were always fun to rummage through and I liked some of them anyway. ^_^ Although I am going on an icon making spree, so I'll probably have a custom avatar anyway. *shrugs*[/font]
