Increase Maximum Avatar Size Poll

Average screen size has increased dramatically over the years, so I think it's about time we can use larger Avatars on the forums. It's kinda ridiculous to keep using the same size avatars on a screen that has 6.75x the pixels... I think the left column is far too small on a standard 1080p monitor, so I think the maximum avatar size should be increased. What size does everyone think it should be increased to (if at all)? I personally think it should be increased to 184 pixels (like steam).

For comparison look at my current avatar size and my fullsize 184 pixel avatar below.

Who else is with me on a 184 pixel maximum?

Survey Here: TAINTED

The options are as follows:
Yes, increase it to 184 pixels (like steam)
Yes, increase it to 175 pixels
Yes, increase it to 150 pixels
Yes, increase it to 125 pixels
NO! Leave it the **** alone you bastard! I use an old ass CRT!

Responses Here: TAINTED

This is just a discussion at this point, if most people don't mind it being bigger then I think it will be fine to increase the maximum size. Only if there is a good amount of opposition should it stay the same.

The poll has been tainted by people voting multiple times. I will only count posts from now on.

* My apologies if there are any mistakes as I tally the thread so far, just let me know.

Yes, increase it to 184 pixels (like steam): The_Ed, lazerpointer, Dubsgalore, moonprismpwr, tipo33, rarar, Lunartuna, Halverson, Tym, whiskerBox, Photekq, BunnyLake, inteli722, ray4jc, esoomenona, jdcarpe, foxer,

Yes, increase it to 175 pixels: gliy, ComradeSniper,

Yes, increase it to 150 pixels: calavera, Glissant, AGmurdercore, CPTBadAss,

Yes, increase it to 125 pixels: missalaire,

NO! Leave it the **** alone you bastard! I use an old ass CRT!: keymaster, sth, quickcrx702, hashbaz, baldgye, vun, Soarer, E TwentyNine, SmallFry, i3oilermaker, bavman, samwisekoi,

TROLLS: demik,

I think there are some very valid things that have come out of this poll.

1. An option to CHOOSE the size of avatar you see (if any at all, which is already an option). (With the maximum being 184 pixels to save on server space and loading times)
2. A fullsize Avatar and post in a user's profile to tell about oneself.

I've got two 23" monitors. There's no need to have moonprismpwr's lovely work (my avatar) squished into a little 100x100 pixel box. More avatar please!!

The_Ed · « **Reply #2 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:43:54 »

Maybe I should have put a username requirement... I can't see who's making the votes... Post here if you voted.

lazerpointer · « **Reply #3 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:45:49 »

My avy never turns out right.

Could use moar pixels.

Voted.

The_Ed · « **Reply #4 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:47:28 »

I love your Avatar lazerpointer! (FYI Laser is spelled with an S...)

keymaster · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:48:17 »

100x100 is bigger than most forums already. I think the current size is good enough.

The_Ed · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:49:23 »

I see you use an old ass CRT...

Lighten up a little.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:53:13 »

I voted btw ^__^

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #11 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 20:56:12 »

I voted for 184

i eventually want an avatar made from one of the lovely artists here on GH

sth · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:00:39 »

i'd really prefer they didnt change, or even were smaller... if you want to share some art then put a link in your sig.

SmallFry · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:33:32 »

What is the current size? 100 pixels?

moonprismpwr · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:37:13 »

Voted

It would be nice to have some more room for the more creative avatars

tipo33 · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:37:14 »

I voted for 184, That being said, CRT monitors still have the highest contrast ratio of any display technology, NO input lag, and come in UXGA resolutions.

The_Ed · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:37:19 »

Yes, it's 100 pixels right now (which is puny).

missalaire · « **Reply #17 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 21:38:50 »

I wouldn't mind it being slightly larger. I think 184 pixels is a bit much though.

I miss the days of Quake 3 arena on a regular old CRT. Best monitor ever.

If only I could get an affordable 16x9 CRT these days. That would be the best.

calavera · « **Reply #19 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:02:31 »

I voted for just slight increase. Why clutter a text based forum with huge avatars?

gliy · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:17:29 »

I think 184 is a little big, but 175 would be a good middleground

rarar · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:32:22 »

voted 184

demik · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:35:29 »

Cmon uncle dolan, you can always use more girlshark in your face.

demik · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:37:45 »

besides girlshark*

SmallFry · « **Reply #25 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:41:43 »

I believe there is a button in the settings to not view them, demik. Also, if you use adblock, you can block avatars altogether.

demik · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:43:02 »

but that requires work

SmallFry · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:48:59 »

Jussssssss saying mang.

i am not liking this one bit.

The_Ed · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 22:53:54 »

I don't read the username, I associate with the avatar through my peripheral while reading. That's why I hate it when people keep changing their avatars...

Those who hate avatars altogether need to chill out. You can just check the box next to "Don't show users' avatars.".

Actually this is exactly how I work. Every time an avatar changes, I wonder who dafuq it is. And when everyone starts using the same avatar, I get confused as all hell.

I will just say it here, I'm not going to vote, because I don't mind bigger, and I don't mind them the same. But I do enjoy having avatars. And as for avatarless people, they are few, so it's like they have an avatar anyway.

DAMN THESE SHARKS ARE EVERYWHERE!

bavman · « **Reply #45 on:** Tue, 07 May 2013, 23:05:34 »
