    And if you dont' actually want to read through that thread this is the reason:

    Back in the day (back in 2000) when the forums were young members could have custom avatars not dependent on post count, so when they switched it to the 5k post count the poeple already with custom avs got to keep them
    Main PC: MSI P965 Neo-F | nVidia geForce 7300GT | Intel C2D E6400 | 250GB SATA II WD Hard Drive | SB Audigy 2 Platinum | 8x DVD Burner| 2GB Corsair XMS DDR II 675 | Logitech z680's | Cordless MX Duo | Samsung 191T | (2) 19inch Rosewill 913E

    HTPC: Abit IC7 | ATI Radeon 9800 Pro | Intel P4c 2.8Ghz | 120GB WD SE | Chaintech AV-710| 4x DVD+RW | 1GB RAM | Onkyo 7.1 Speakers | TV Tuner | Rosewill Cordless KB and Mouse | 15 Inch LCD | Panasonic PT-L500U Projector | USB 2.0 Card Reader

    FaTs isn't a mod or over 5k posts either...but he also has a custom avatar...cause those pplz joined right when SF started...and at that time...u could upload your own avatar...but as it grew...it became too difficult to manage...

    but those few who were the original SF pplz...they still have their own avatars...lol

    lucky pplz...

    If i'm not mistaken, ppl couldn't upload their own av's until the swtich to VB. And FaTs was a former mod.
    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    yeah, it wasn't really an "upload" you had to send it in
