Avitars for everyone

[Kipp Sherry]

I received the request below from another user. I agree with him. Can we get this started?

Blacks is a new forum and the sooner and better we get to know each other the more likely we'll have interest in continuing the posts and conversations with each other. I think Avatars beside posts would be a huge benefit to this forum. A face goes a long way in making a friendly impression. A post with a face is much more likely to get a response than a text only post.

Please pass this suggestion on to the powers that be and hopefully we'll see avatars added.

Best,

However, since we use real names on this site, I would like to suggest that you must use a picture that is really you, not some image you like or something that in no way depicts how you really look.

Other users who would like an avitar should place your vote here so Blacks Magic can see how much people want it.

Until we appear again,
Kipp Sherry

Me thinks it time to rethink the avatar suggestion. Its been a month and its been a pretty dry month at that regards posts. Most other forums us avatars as it creates a more personalized posting atmosphere.

I'm all for avatars as well. Would be rather simple to implement such a change as well.
