Why are the maximum avatar sizes only 60x60?
Why doesnt a moderator or somebody change it to at least 100x100?

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

[Poll] Bigger Avatars
Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?

I don't think that this is important for us... We should focus on the game, not on the forums settings...

I think avatars should be disabled. They don't contribute to discussion and only distract from the text.

People change them too often for that.

If we had bigger avatars, the website load would go up, the website loading speed goes downwards, people bitching because the forums are too slow; meaning we go back to the 60^2 limit again.

There are still too many people out there with a slow connection. For them, every saved kb counts! Some months ago, I had a connection with 40 kb/s and that was horrible. We don't need bigger avatars. This is not a forum about avatars à la "who has the most beautiful one" but a game forum. So I say again: No, 60x60 is ok.

It would really help if you removed all those accounts of people who joined and never came back again.
