    No, the 1 year thing hasn't worked in a while IIRC.

      dont they get it after one year , .......

      and no , even them should get 500


      No, that hasn't been in effect for ages.

      And why shouldn't people who pay their own money to help support the site at least get the right to choose their own little picture by their username? They will have contributed far more to the community by donating than some spammer who posts 500 "I agree" and "Me too" posts in 5 different demogames.

        I agree ( ), and maybe giant avatars for subscribers with 5000 posts.

        I think a 2-tier avatar system is better than not allowing non-subscribers avatars.

          People are always curious for more fora...

          How about a secret forum for subscribers/donaters? People who don't donate will be so jealous they'll have to give money!

            Frozzy,

            wouldn't that be denying content to non-subscribers?

              I would pay just for no banner and popup ads.
              A larger avatar may just be nice too, the 10k size limit prevents some animated avatars from being used.

                Ahh, the first reason not have larger avatars..

                I could/can stand one, but not everyone having one of these flashy (annoying) thingies.

                  I wasn't actually serious. It was more of a parody on the staff room.

                    - larger avatars
                    - 50 kb size limit for custom avatars
                    - no minimum post requirement for a custom avatar
                    - no ads (banners or pop-ups)

                    That's about it.

                          Well to be consistent I'd say you need a certain post count for the larger avatars, even for subscribers. 500 seems about right.

                          So non-subscribers: 0-500 posts use bog standard, then small custom after 500.

                          Subscibers: 0-500 custom, then large custom after 500. This could also be a little higher perhaps, maybe 1000.

                              Slightly larger I could support. But not too large - we all will have to be downloading the subscriber's avatars.

                                Well that's ok, since our subscriber fees will pay for super-whizzy (TM) equipment.
