    is it possible to upload your own avatar? if so could you please tell me? or is it to do with bandwith?
    i seen that there is like 10,000 users on boards, but ive never seen 2 peeps with the same avatars!

    Because it would open a can of worms. Enabling users to upload their own custom avatars leaves the door open for offensive, pornographic, or otherwise undesirable or illegal images to be placed on the boards site...

    A few people made them... but mostly it was Hobbes.

    I did a couple meself.

    You can see them all here.
