    When can you upload your own avatar?

    I will keep the crab picture as long as I have to (had it for 8 years now), but it would be cool to upload something a little more personal.

    So, what is the number of posts that one must have to obtain this privelege? Or is that even how it works?

    It use to be 5,000, but i think it is 2,500 now. It would be nice if they allowed for how long a person has been a member.

    Or we could possibly run another content to allow some winners to use custom avatars or something along those lines. We're always open for good ideas to reward the members.

    I'd heard it was 1,500. Guess I have a little longer to go than I thought

    At my current posting rate, it will take fifteen years for me to earn a custom avatar under the existing policy. I'll probably be dead before then.

    Maybe an award to allow current members with an avatar to have a gif as well?

    I did want to use the following as a avatar, but gifs arent allowed and only grandfathered in



    Anyway I agree that sharky could be more liberal and maybe increase traffic/regular membership with features like avatars.

    Im glad we dont have massive long tacky sigs or google ads, but surely sharky could relax more? Also maybe the mods could really help to promote current features like friends and groups?

    Hehe: well, any of us could be dead in fifteen years: in 15 minutes, even. You never know.

    But I will be well into middle age in fifteen years, and my family is not known for it's longevity. I don't think any of the men in my family have ever lived to retire.

    I guess all that death stuff distracted me from my point: fifteen years is a long time to earn a custom avatar, even if I'm chipper and healthy when the time comes. I therefore cast a vote to consider other avenues to achieve this great honor.

    If not, you might have to listen to my rendition of "2500 Bottles of Beer On The Wall"

    One verse at a time, of course :-)

    Why not have a drawing, put the name of the member in for each year they have been a member, or one time if they have been here a year or less. Also this is for active members only. Then each month draw a name and award them with a avatar.

    Contribute more.

    But seriously, I think that some sort of monthly contribution contest would be beneficial.
    Perhaps a contest for an original hardware review would be fun and informative.
    Those review forums that members clamored for are still sitting vacant.

    It works out to roughly 7 posts a day for a year to earn a custom avatar. That's reasonable, I guess. And should help to stimulate conversation, at least among us newbs.

    I am assuming that the over 2 billion posts was a value manually entered from the admin console. Otherwise, you have wasted your life...
