Default New Season so should older posters be rewarded ....

and be able to use avatars of their choosing for the season. We could even have old school and bring back some of the old classics like So Cal's dancing women.

It could be considered a perk for longevity.

What do ya think TJ.

Yep ... either that or everyone who signed up before 2002.

Can we get an official statement on whether and if when avatars are coming back, TJ?

As to the bandwidth problem there would only be a limited number of posters that would qualify for the avatar perk also we could ban Boob and gain tons of bandwidth right there.

I think it should be determined by a fight to the death round robin.

I am gonna go against popular sentiments and request that the avatars not be brought back. One, they are nothing but soft porn for the most part. There are younger people come on here and are greeted by these examples of the objectification of women as nothing more than a source of sexual stimulation is not the message a Sports Message Board should want to convey.

Two, the site slows down so much with the avatars and sigs that it interferes with the overall enjoyment of the site for the larger share of posters and readers.

Third, the quantity of posts are not necessarily related to the quality of the posts. I give you boob and Mock as examples. Therefore, to use BS as a measure of much of anything is still BS.

I oppose the proposed renewed use of avatars and sigs.

What, you guys think this is like that Bills forum that can handle avatars and over 100 members signed in at once without a lick of slowness?

I think $500-$600 should do the trick Bobo.
