Should this forum get an Avatar Gallery?

Quote from el jacko:

I will also contribute, but I think they should also follow a general standard - 100x100 maybe?

at this time, the upper limit is 120x120. so i guess that should be the standard unless someone thinks i should reduce it to 100x100 and invalidate a bunch of avatars. ;)

only drawback i can think of regarding the avatar gallery is hella people using the same avatar and making it hard to follow discussions (see the samus.co.uk forum for examples).

As opposed to hella people having no avatar whatsoever? I think that's a pretty weak drawback, so I'm voting yes too.

I mean, keep the maximum, but have all of the standard avatars stay at one size. One forum I frequent allows up to 160x160, but the premade avatars are 100x100.

yeah, ten pixels on each side is not going to make a lot of difference. the problem is that i can't really mandate a standard size due to the set-pixel nature of a lot of metroid avatar sources (gba/snes caps, etc).

I vote yes for the people to have pretty-pictured posts due to simple-mindedness at the moment.

As Nate already stated, I'm more than willing to make some customs, animated or not. Hence, I voted yes. But in terms of size and stuff, I'd suggest that the premade gallery only has 100x100 avs, to make controlling everything a little easier. Also, the filesize should be a little limited, so as not to waste too much of Nate's bandwidth.

Oh, and by the way, start suggesting what would you like to see, and posting links to official artwork galleries for me to collect and start making avs. ;)

wonder who voted no.

<strike>and 100x100 is the official limit for avatar submissions, then.</strike>

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Well, I think the bulk of it should be Metroid related, since that's what this forum is all about. But there should also be some other misc videogame avitars, and maybe just some general crap that people might want, like one of Fonzie giving the eeeeey.

Thanks, Tooz, but I think that's a little obvious. :P What I meant was for people to start suggesting what kind of imagery they want to see, if they want special F/X on them, and stuff like that. And, since my Metroid image database is pretty short, I'll have to ask of people to hand down some links to official artwork for me to start working on. ^_^

I hate seeing people without avitars, but I also hate seeing people with the same avitar. So I'm gonna vote yes under the condition that there will be hella avitars in the gallery.

I second the notion.

Sorry, but all those keep asking me for ID and password, which I don't currently have. I'd suggest you to save them to your HD, sign up for some webspace somewhere, and upload them there.

The top three of those ask me for a username and password, but the rest work fine for me. Did you check all of those, or only the first one?

They all do ask me for a password.

some avatars from the last metroid have been added to start the avatar gallery. any further submissions would be greatly appreciated.
