-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
to keep avatars i believe we should remove all pictures from sigs, and make it a bannable offense to upload one (not perma banned but say 2 days). and for the avatars we have a limit of up to nearly 500 KB. for a gif or jpeg you need tops 5 KB... so perhaps we should lower it to 10 KB maximum.
that way we can permanently have avatar's.
anyways i dont see why we cant do this. the smaller avatar file size doesnt affect anything in any way. and huge ass sigs piss me off, escpecially as most of the time they take up the entire screen. and no my screen size isnt a problem as its 24"

I dissagree. Alot more of someone's personality can come out in a signature then an avatar. And just because one person has a huge signature doesnt mean you should punish everyone for it.
Personally I'm about ready to turn my avatar off, as avatars look really wierd with those pictures above them in the classic Speedvision.

I actually think my avatar looks better in Speedvision. Cause in the Carbon Fibre view, the black contrasts so starkly against things that I didn't even realize my avatar had all the greenish color in it. I thought it was more black than that.
What I don't like though is the banner about my name that says Nephalem. That banner should say Saboteur. And where it DOES say Sabotuer, there should be nothing there at all.
Agreed Goodguy, your avatar looks badass with transparency. And agreed Jetrall, best to make sure nobody abuses the avatars before bringing back animated avatars, though I would of led by example and had nobody with animated avatars. ;D
Meh. Only one staff member has one at the moment anyways. It's mostly the fact that I want to limit the amount of server strain for now, seeing what we can handle, before I allow everyone to upload animated avatars (they take longer to load and are much larger files).

FINALLY. Why were they removed in the first place?!?!?!?
To reduce server strain anticipated by the announcement of Diablo III when we had literally thousands of new users. As it was, eliminating avatars proved not to be enough.

Majorly agreed. I would love to either see that little high council member thing gone or the diablo fans thing gone. Either way it would look better imo. Plus it would help Jetrall's problem about moving avatars.

As I said, removing those banners would help I believe. Cutting the pictures in half should fix bandwidth, right?

Oi, dark times that was. New moderators+thousands of new members+not enough bandwidth=unusable site...
It's mostly returned back to normal now though, so thumbs up! : D

There is a signature size limit, and Deathmars' sig is just under it.

Whoopsy daisy. I had messaged him earlier asking him to reduce it. It's still too big in my opinion. I don't think any signature should be taller than an avatar is. It can be wider obviously, but shouldn't be taller.
Interesting. I remember looking at a thread where Elfen posted today morning. I vaguely went over Elfen's post. He had an avatar. I knew something was wrong. But I didn't understand what...
Now I get it. He has an avatar... we have avatars! WOOT!
Wooooooooooooooooooooot My Avatar Is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Freedom Partys And Beer Wooooooooooot

There SHOULD be a size limit, maybe 4 inches or something. But not getting rid of avatars completely.
/agreed

A shame IE can't handle it yet (boo Microsoft!).
JK.
I'm so happy- now I have to somehow think of an avatar... I think I deleted my old one from last year when privileges got revoked.
Edit--
Oh, it's still there x.x

Yep. Any avatars that were in the system before they were disabled on 6/28/08 are still there.
Anyone who joined after that will have to upload one, if they want one.
