just look at mine. completely visible a 53x53.
serves it's purpose to make people forget my username and recognize me only by my avatar. then when i someday change it, they all say "who the fuck are you, noob?".
exactly as planned.
except that it says you joined in 2004. I, for one, have associated you with that ugly "gay owl MEP" banner on your sig. The avatar of Minion means nothing to me..

this is also part of the plan

Wonder why he got dragged into this. Why?

godix's statement of the position the administration has taken on these matters in the past is correct. Thread locked for A) degenerating, B) being pointless, C) godix, D) Minion, E) dragging me into it for no good reason. Pick any number of the above.

Update: Avatars can now be up to 100x100 pixels. Those hosted by the site can be up to 16KB. Those hosted offsite may be a bit bigger in filesize, but within reason. (No feature-length animated GIFs please)

Out of curiosity, does this mean that nobody cares about the whole "spare the dial-up users" argument anymore? I remember that being one of the big ones against bigger avatars in the past.

Bigger avatars, eh? Hmmm, I'll keep this one until the Halloween season is over.

Wow. I didn't think that would happen. You caught me completely off guard.

There was some... "negotiation" over the filesize.

Indeed.

and I still feel guilty about not noticing I had my avatar at 100x100 for ages. Guess I don't need two versions of my avatar loaded onto photobucket now.
