      Avatars don't seem to cost a lot of bandwidth. They don't change often, so once they are stored in the local cache it should be fine.

        The speed is also important for me, but for the moment
        things look so promising that I dare still to suggest
        the return of the avatars.

        Becides, they really give the ACSF a final touch, IMO.

          Thank you for your input on the availability of avatars in the forums.

          We are not looking at the possibility of re-introducing them at this time. This option will be considered on a later date.

          Thank you for your understanding.

              I'll trade e-mail notification for avatar return*



              *Even though I was very anti-avatar at first. (They need to consult with me before doing format changes!!) BUT I REALLY like avatars now.

                I can wait, Dan. As far as we will get our gnomes
                back one day or another.

                BTW, is this some sort of an equality campaign?
                By disabling the gnomes, Dan and Markos are
                trying to bring equality to all apolytoners?
                Or is this perhaps even a revolutionary change?
                A marxistic ACS...?

                    My custom avatar is really cool, but busy server messages are more uncool that that, so, no avatars if that solves the problem.

                    And Rasbelin,
                    why are your
                    lines so short?

                      Earthling7, there's a simple explanation to that.

                      wrap
                      by
                      using
                      Enter!

                        Equality? No way, giving deity statuses and custom avatars is a great way for Apolyton to make people come here more often...

                          If everyone would have custom avatars and deity status,
                          there wouldn't be anything left to achieve.

                            Well I most certainly would like to see the avatars return at some point in the near future, they were a nice touch.

                            And another thing Rasbelin, I have a friend who is from Tampere in Finland who I went to university with

                              Provost, are you trying to say that you're actually here in Finland for the moment?

                                I agree Ras, it is not only benefical to have the avatars back, but essential.
