Is it time for LL to turn the dial and allow us bigger forum icons?

I've heard its not how big it is, but how you use it that's important.

At least a double in size would be a huge boon to the forums. :)

Ulrika. We can't get bigger forum icons than you.

Yes - definitely - look at how much detail is lost from my icon at this size!! You can barely see it!!

On my forum I am admin of, for another online game, maximum avatar size is set to 200x200. However, it has only about 50 registered forumgoers.

LL says they are shooting for a million SL players by end of 2006. Even if they only get 200k, and one-tenth of them post on the forums, I'd say 20k forum avatars can be a serious enough resource drain that 50x50 is a good limit to stay with.

Meanwhile I'm going to work on a 16x16 avatar when I'm done here for tonight.

Sure, I'll go for this, I think even just doubling it to 100x100 would give us a much bigger postage-stamp size to scratch pictures into... 50x50 is just small enough to be a bit ... frusteratingly low-detail.

Edit> By voting for Hillary, am I also (hopefully) voting for pie here?

I remember this one trance board I was on, the background was black and just about everyone had animated, colorful icons. Except me. Well mine was colorful, but not animated. And they were 150x150 in size.

We do have forum pictures in here which show up when we look at a forum profile. And they are four times the size of the icons, I think.

I'd like to see 100x100 icons myself. We have such great avatars in SL. I'd like folks to be able to show them off.

100x100 is not too far, but we are already getting spammed by image signatures.

Ok... so if we get bigger forum icons... does that mean that the Hasslecrotch might come back - bigger, better, and larger than before? :D

Ulrika, you have returned from your post-partum exile to regale us with polls of forum icons?

Come now, surely motherhood has not mellowed you beyond recognition. I demand pre-natal Ulrika shit-stirring at once.

I tend to go in cycles. Right now I'm in an anodyne phase but I assure you I'll wax polemic again shortly. :D

I think the icons are plenty big. I prefer substance over form.

This wouldn't have anything to do put political messages in the forum avatar images, would it?
