Bring back the custom Avatars!!!!
Hello.
My suggestion to make Druchii.net better is to re-enact the option for custom Avatars. They should be restricted to the same size and dimensions of the normal Avatars, so the actual loading times don't change.
But if everybody gains a custom Avatar it will make each member feel more unique in the druchii.net community. Custom ranks, signatures and fictional locations add to this, but a custom Avatar would be extremely nice to have.
Anyway, that is my suggestion for our lovely community.

@Tayrod, I assume you know what "Avatar" means. It's that picture or thing you have below your name, on every reply you post. Currently you can only use avatars from the druchii.net archive.
A custom avatar is any avatar, one you have made yourself or maybe found at some other web page.
As for the topic, I think the return of custom avatars would be great. Myself, I started to recognize people from their avatars when just about everyone had a different avatar.
Moving avatars should not be allowed, though. At least I didn't like them. I bet they slowed the site down a bit, and I just couldn't concentrate on reading a post when a dragon jumped up and down next to it.

Vanderghast has unwittingly demonstrated the absolute most important reason why we need to get the custom avatars back. He's using my sodding avatar!

Yes, I did. All the original ones anyway. Steja modified a few of them to create some more variety IIRC. But this one is mine, in that (A) it has my personal serpent rune and (B) it's purple. Steal it at your peril...

one major prob with costum avatars is copyright.

I think custom avatars are a good thing; They allow a member to express something about who they are, rather than keep things confined to one thing. Of course, I know you guys like to keep things on topic here (which is cool) but it might be neat if people could do that Also, as far as I know, no sites have had serious problems with Avatar copyrights thus far, and Im sure if they did, then you would get some kind of warning to know that its crossed the line on their standards...Of course, you guys actually DO have top ranking GW officials prowling in the shadows, so that changes the rules around a bit Just playing the devils advocate here...

Hum, I agree Linda. That could be a problem.
Darn. Maybe we could just torture Shadowspite into making some new ones? Like pictures of clawed hands holding magic, hooded faces staring over a glowing orb, more dark elf runes, cool things like that? Of course, time is a valuable commodity that not everybody has in rich abundance, but Shadowspite did so well with the previous I'm sure he can make some really good news ones. ^_^

Remember I'm a Slaanesh-worshipper. Torture won't work on me. You're welcome to try anyway, though...
Seriously, I hardly have enough time to run my RPG groups (as Auric will confirm... ) and the CoP initiative, let alone design more avatars.
As for copyright on custom avatars, if Portent.net hasn't had any problems with this, I don't think we need to worry.
