I agree, especially for members who have similar names. I immediately identify a user's personality with their avatar.

That's no good, considering who me and El Mech have as avatars...

Your avatars change over time - so people don't get too attached to them

I consider the avatar to be a bigger part of a poster's identity than their post count or rep points. So definitely pick a memorable one, newcomers!

Not to sound like 'the teacher's pet', but Roosh's avatar is genius lol. Did he come up with that logo by himself? Should trademark it and make t-shirts.

Maybe you could allow a little larger avatars? 200x300px?

I actually wanted to change my avatar. I didn't though because I always get confused when someone has the same avatar for so long and then they change it. It's like they are a whole different person. I don't even know them anymore.
I've had a few members tell me that they though that I was black. Most people probably assume I am because of my av. It's a powerful thing. Even had someone post a picture of The Rock in the "what do you think forum members look like?" thread, which is about polar opposites of how I actually look lol.

I would be happy if it could auto-resize any size pic to Avatar size.

Thanks for the reminder!
I never heard the word "avatar" until I joined this forum. I thought "Avatar" was a movie.
My avatar is that fact that I don't have one.
Should I get one or should I just remain the "no avatar guy"???
I think it might be time for a change!
