Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I ran it through the search and it returned nothing.
I remember a while back before Diablo III was announced so many people were accessing DiabloFans.com that Avatars were taken off to free up the site a bit.
Now I've been coming back lately.. and less and less people are up here.
Is there any chance we're going to get our Avatars back?
Thanks,

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
I've begged on and off to get our avatars back. I'm not sure what is really required for us to get them back. Meanwhile people go shit eating over making this huge ass signatures to compensate.
Sigh, well, it was originally done to save on bandwidth during the announcement of Diablo 3. Even when there was just that teaser on Blizz's homepage I think the decision was made to do it. And rightly so, in all fairness. There really was tons of traffic on the site at the time.
Today we're not as slow as we were before the teaser, but we are at least slower than when the game was first announced. Possibly slow enough in traffic to justify bringing back avatars. The problem is getting the site's admins to do it. Or even communicating to them that we'd like them to do it. This is all a lot harder than it sounds. In my experience anyway....
Or it is more likely that they are perfectly aware that we'd all like our avatars back, but they're either too lazy to do it or they don't care.
Even if most on here don't really notice me.
I come here and the main Diablo site for all my Diablo III information.
Although I'd like to start a photography/art forum.
I'd love that.. but unfortunately I don't have the time nor money to invest in my wants.
Sadly enough with the economy the way it is I can only fund my basic needs. lol

Ok.
This is more reasonable and makes sense... size/character limit on sigs in exchange for our Avatars back.
I know it would free up a lot of bandwidth.
Especially with these super huge and useless sigs I see everywhere.
It's said when you see on every few threads a page with 3-4 replies... and yes, I have seen one up here.
But, it's mainly up to the site admin.
You guys run and maintain a great forum, please take this into consideration.
Thanks.

Yeah, personally I think it would be better to reinstate avatars, and severely reduce the allowances on sigs. But that's because my avatar is awesome and my signatures are always concise and poignant.
Yes, I doubt that Avatars will be back any time soon though. Traffic is bound to surge multiple times with every major announcement, then when D3 hits shelves, it is gonna be awful. Best bet I have is that Avatars will either be around about 3 to 6 months after D3 is announced or when the servers are updated.

Either way, not in the close future.
agreed, lets wait till....probably until d3 hits or until the site can hold more, but i loved having avatars and seeing the various ones of everyone else. I think the only one i remember IS linkx mine and Murderface

I remember a lot of people's avatars and I focus on those more than sigs so it kind of made moderating easier for me. The solution could be so simple to just get rid of pictures in sigs and reinstate avatars. Cause in a sig, there's a lot more rubbish you can add to it and make it fuck off huge before we even ask you to reduce it. The lot of you have oversized sigs in my opinion, but they're not all big enough for me to make you reduce them either.

But I could even propose it in the moderator section, individually PM all the admins about it, and nothing would be done. :thumbsup:

I think I saw a thread about that.
Wonder what's going to be done about it?
What are your ideas on it?
