    I like my avatar.

    I have no need to change it even if I could.

    Question Re: Avatar selection

    So you get new pretty pictures, the more posts you make, that are restricted to those lifted from total war games? What about externally linking to your own avatar for the more personal touch, is that out?

    They say that this server doesn't allow custom avatars.. unfortunately.. it would be good if you could have your own personal, custom avatar.

    Some mods do. Also JAG has his saying SPAMMER on the top. I wonder if I could get one like that if I spammed.

    Well users' own avatars would not be located on the .orgs server(s), so would not consume any of their bandwidth. The images could be offensive but so could any images, or text, posted normally or in a user signature. So I can't see any reason why outside linked avatars have been disallowed... other than some reasons I won't mention.

    vBulletin doesn't seem to support outside linked avatars, so it's a rather moot point.

    For those interested, you can get a full rundown of all avatars available to your usergroup, and the necessary postcount required to get access to them, here. One word of warning though: it's an image heavy page.

    I had a go at "avataring" it, although I'm not particularly skilled with image manipulation. Specs: 75 by 100 pixels, 7500 bytes.

    This is how it would look on Tosa's profile:
