Almost all forums everywhere have custom avatars?Or the lack of room for a sig? What is the deal?

Because BSN is a joke forum.

I'm sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I was wondering this myself. As some people clearly DO have custom avatars, how does one actually go about setting up such a thing?

[Blood-Lord Thanatos]

there used to be a blog post somewhere that addressed the topic, but I can't seem to find it.

We'll call it a "workaround."

Penis.

I guess if they allowed custom avatars, too many people would upload pictures of dicks.

And here I thought you'd just say:

"Ah, custom avatars.. we have dismissed that claim." :innocent:

I second what Bo and HiddenKING said there. Forum would be full of boob/nude avatars that way. Or gore for that matter. Let's generalize all of it under the 'inappropriate' term.

more or less, I think that they allow the workaround because it makes it a lot of work to post an avatar, so making spam accounts with shock picture avatars is too much effort for trolls to commit to.

Then there's those of us who can't get custom avvies on our own and have to ask our friends to do it for us.

"Custom avatars"? What do you mean "custom avatars"? I've never heard of such a thing...

And in seriousness, I like that you have to work for a custom avatar. It's like a badge of honor on BSN imho.

Or perhaps a badge of laziness if you prefer to use the default.

It really is a bit of a joke considering how easy the custom avatars are to do and that some of the moderators use custom ones.

They do allow custom avy's, you have one.

And custom avatars are pretty much standard on most internet forums, minus ones that don't allow them at all (gamefaq's etc)


And really, I have never seen someone put a dick as their avy in my life..

[Mr. Sprinkles101]

I put this as my pic long ago and have been too lazy to ever change it. Can I get a lazy badge too?

Custom avatars are lame rly

*runs away*

It would appear they don't want people uploading inappropriate stuff and possibly things that could be used against them for copyright reasons.

That's what I thought, until I remembered that they have no problems with inline images or images in sigs.  So I dunno.  Curiously, Origin had the same policy until recently but they now allow uploads.

this being necromanced made me lol to no end

[_symphony]

really? do other forums have problems with inappropriate avatars? if so then why every forum out there allow custom avatars?
