Crazy avatar request

Would it be possible to hack vbulletin and let us link to an avatar without it being stored locally on the server? The reason I ask is because I've got a neat php script on my site that pulls up a random image from a folder. If I use that as the url for my avatar, though, it picks a random image but then stores that one image on the server. Thus defeating the point of a random-image getting script. This isn't too high up on my priorities, just something that would be nice.

Ah, I found that they've got this hack (or something similar) at vbulletin.org:

Ah, like my avatar at Gamecatcher, which doesn't always work... I'm blaming that on Lycos Yes I would love this feature to be available when I can sp... Post enough useful info to get a custom avatar...



(refresh the page and the picture should change, I think there's about 5 or 6 different ones)

I'm getting pics:

A smiley w/fro
A civ2 city named Townsville
An Australian flag


So it works for me.

That'd be incredibly annoying.

The main use for an avatar is to quickly recognise a poster. Continually changing on a random basis messes it up.

That may be good or bad, depending on your views.

Says the person who deliberately changed his name to confuse others.

If done poorly, this could be confusing. But if done well, it could be really cool.

I never said it was a bad thing.

Zylka, your creativity amazes me.

Zylka, you need to change back to your old avatar series.
This lot gives you withdrawal symptoms.

And doesn't do much for the rest of us.
