Yo doc I got a great idea! instead of just giving megaman opitions as avatars, give a list of them (soul calibur, inuyasha, Dbz etc.) and it\'ll be easier for people to find one

ps. i cant find one freakin inuyasha pic i can use as an avatar!

Easy to say, but... First, I don\'t really care about any of the series you mentionned. Second, not a lot of people use the default avatars. I decided to use the NES set of robot masters since they\'re simple, good looking and can please some people. Otherwise, I prefer to let everyone choose whichever picture they want.

Google image search is your friend:P

On well maybe a related idea, why not make an avatar option somewhere where we can link a remote avatar (from say a Photobucket accout or something to that effect) in addition to the uploader. I\'ve seen this at other places too. Maybe save yourself some bandwidth (albeit not very much prolly but meh)

Actually, that option is more common than avatar uploaders... However, people usually don\'t maintain links to their avatar for more than a few months. The end result, after a year or two, is that many, many of the older posts (and even some recent ones) are accompanied with broken pictures. It just really annoys me to read a conversation where almost all avatars no longer display properly. With the files stored on Interordi.com directly, the only cases of broken pictures are when people don\'t use proper image files.
