Everyone keeps falling back onto abuse of custom avatars and sigs. Which is understandable it would be abused.
I would someone who is in the know (mod etc) please let us know why not more regular bungie supplied and approved avatars on site? 4 pages (109 avatars) for 1 million users? Even with the XBL users using different ones say 1/2 of them (feel free someone to provide a more exacting figure) thats 109 avatars for 500,000 users. Thats approx 4587 people per avatar a few more wouldn't hurt. I realize it takes time but you have had months of people submitting them (an entire sticky devoted to it) and trusted theme masters who could go over it. I mean really 1 new avatar every 2 months would that really be that hard to do? bandwidth? Unaffected. besides the tiny size of the 90x90 gif users using the new one would switch from thier current to it. It would not add more bandwidth. User "A" has a MC avatar and switches to the new bungie supplied one. No increase.
I realize the main webmaster is a VERY busy man. No one argues this. Its a simple request with no far reaching problems. Forum users like it, happy forum users are potential happy customers, happy customers spend money making bungie happy. (and yes I realize that adding one avater will not make bungie money its an example not a direct correlation )
