It isn't going to happen...as Achronos has said before. I personally don't want to see a picture of someone's genitalia on B.net...because within the first hour someone would upload a picture of his/her parts and start posting.

Yes, but custom avatars will (hopefully) never become available to the average user. There's just too many "bad" things people could make for their avatar.

And among other disturbing or more offensive pictures that may seriously cause some controversy.

Many people here would like custom avatars, but it simply isn't going to happen. There are about 1.8 million registered users on Bungie.net and if we allowed custom avatars here Bungie would need to hire 100 people to just go through them all day and make sure none are rude or offensive.
Maderators, bungie employees and Theme masters get custom avatars because they're just so good. There is only a handful and even they cannot change their avatars at will. Achronos (Bungie.net admin) must accept them first.

It doesn't need to be considered, considering the fact that it will never happen.

Is a theme master just someone who sumbitted an avatar and it was accepted?

NO. It will get crazy and people will start posting gross pics. I don't want that. Only the mods, emploees ect. should get them.

Gee...there's no need to rub it in....

  • 07.09.2006 6:44 PM PDT

Yes, I would like it, but a million users importing their own custom avatars? Not only would it eat up space, but half of the images would pe p0rn or pictures of them burning cats...

But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Does this mean that I can submit an avatar of my choice, within the boundaries of acceptable, if I become a theme master? Who gives the approval of these avatar's, and just how custom can they be? Can I submit an original peice of artwork for my avatar?

If you get a theme accepted, you can have anthing you want as you avatar. The artwork must not be copyrighted, and it has to be appropriate. Also, it would have to be the right format.

But yes, you could have anything you wanted, I'm pretty sure.

Custom avatars would be cool but Achronos was right.

I submitted a theme last year and the inbox is yet to be checked. I'm thinking they accept themes once every seven years.
