Title: Avatars
Post by: Riku on April 16, 2005, 03:04:13 PM
Increase the dimensions to 150x100 and drop the number of posts needed to get one.

Most likely, it will not happen.

I don\'t see why not.  There is plenty of room in the author column, a wider avatar would fill it up nicely.

You\'re asking me?:p

I say it looks cool, reminds me of the wide screen on the PSP to be honest.

As for dropping the post count, I just asked because it\'s going to take me forever to get to 500.

You people simply don\'t get how "widescreen" avatars are sexy.  Therefore none of you are sexy!

100x66 accomplishes the same thing.  I suggest you try it.

And why would we lower the post number just for you?  All of us had to post that amount to get ours.

But that doesn\'t fill up the author column now does it?

Why is it so high in the first place?  All the other forums I visit have theirs set below 100.

I\'m not going to argue on it anymore.  I asked and got my answer.

Why? Because all the members had to go through the same thing to earn avatar privileges, so why would we change it now? If you want it so badly, post more often. That\'s what we all did.

That doesn\'t answer why it\'s so high in the first place and that\'s not even a good excuse for keeping it that way.  

Why not change it now?  

I honestly don\'t care.  I came into the suggestion forum to do just as the title says, make a suggestion.  It was turned down and that\'s that.  It\'s hardly worth arguing over.

I\'m not trying to attack you. But it\'s just been this way for...5 years. It would seem wrong and strange and I\'d get scared and hide under my bed if we started making changes now.

The reason it was so high in the beginning is because this place was bursting with members and fresh new people all the time. Now, it\'s pretty much dead and everyone is lazy.

Yeah...the set post count for avatars is pretty damn high. Took me quite a while to earn mine as well.

It\'s just the avatar.  And all it would do is increase the dimensions one could make their avatar, that is if they wanted to.  

Those who enjoy the stagnant nature of things can continue rotting just as they have been.  I kid;)

Hence the reason it takes so long to raise my post count.

I like this guy. ;)  I hope you can make it to the 500 mark.  I guess it weeds out the figs from the figg0ts.

Wider avvys would be neat. (Example (http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=68103))  But I can\'t even remember when this place made a change.  I think no-one\'s Photoshopped buttons were put in about 3 years ago...

Thank you, and that\'s a good example.  A better example would be to visit the TXB Forums (http://forum.teamxbox.com).  They have the dimensions set up to 150x100, plus they have them centered, and it looks great.

Not true , if it seperated the figs from the faggots as you say, then almost none of these queer ass members would post.

500 posts is easy (or rather, it used to be ;)). So just get there.

Haha, just visited TeamXbox again:

So are you.

What do you people expect? That EVERY suggestion is implemented? In that case I suggest you all donate $100 to me.

Post by: shockwaves on April 18, 2005, 09:40:07 AM
So what if it takes you a long time to reach 500 posts.  Is an avatar really that important?

I like having a system that seperates those of us who have been here a while from those who haven\'t.  This accomplishes that.  It SHOULD take a while to get an avatar.

Besides, you registered 3 years ago.  No excuse to not have 500 by now :p

He/She only has 147 posts left. Give me a break.

This thread should have been closed a long time ago.
