You can't have a custom avatar. You can select from the few in the options menu. However you only get a custom avatar if you become a Moderator. You used to be able to get them via submitting a theme but they haven't been updated in a while.

I think the idea of not having custom avatars is to discourage the use of images that contain profanity. It makes the site cleaner in terms of content. With a set of pre-selected avatars, there is no need to actively look for someone who has say, bloody kittens for an avatar.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

yes, they are usually updated, when pictures, of bungie related things come out.

and becoming a moderator is very...well lets just say that its not an easy process.

Fightingraven's guide to becoming a moderator!

Step 1: Buy plenty of wires, cheap electronics, and metal boxes and sorts.

Step 2: Assemble your purchases onto your computer. Give an impression that it's a super-computer. Duct tape is recommended.

Step 3: Contact Achronos, threaten with Haxxors. Show picture of computer.

Step 4: If all else fails, send e-booze to Achronos. Repeat steps 1-3.

Congrats, your a mod!

Oh, you mean that kind of custom avatar. Link your gamertag, then check the little box at the top of the avatar selection page that says "Use Halo 2 Emblem." You should of been more specific.

When you say "theme" do you mean avatar, or background to a group? Just wondering because neither have really been updated in a while.

Group themes. Theme masters are created by themes being accepted. No new themes = no new theme masters = no new custom avatar peoples.

Don't forget the Halo 2 emblems for people with linked gamertags.

Unless of course you're a moderator, like you.

But no, custom Avatars aren't allowed on Bungie.net. The only way to obtain one, is to become a Forum Ninja, or to become a Theme Creator. Themes are backgrounds to groups, by the way.

Edit: Theme Masters

Do you think Bungie will release seasonal avatars? Just for a while?
