Hello Guys!

It seems I made a slight misstake when it came to the avatars. I accidentally leaved the option to upload Your own avatars enabled. Bad move. Originally I had planned for everyone to use the avatars made by me for a uniform feel of the site - Also I had plans to allow Your own avatars, however I would edit them so they fitted the site better.

What we got right now is a mish mash of avatars, some badly re-shaped, some in color, others black and white and the third kind processed by me. Which is not what I had in mind at all - Players have contacted me about it and I agree it looks strange.

So...

I would like to ask everyone of You to select an avatar made in the galleries from now on. If You have an avatar that is awesome and want to keep I will process it for You so it blends into the site better. If it can't be passed for a colonial marine it is a no go. I will let You select a new avatar on Your own, but if You don't change I will change it for You and select the ugliest marine I can find  naturally

I have now disabled the ability to upload avatars for all users.

To be extra clear. Yes custom avatars is allowed. But allowing free uploads is opening a can worms and soon we have warhammer 40k orcs and crap in the avatars. Custom avatars can be requested if You are in the player group (not just member of forum). And then You send an attachment with image to me and I edit it accordingly - That way we get:

1. Fast loading avatars, as everyone will just be 1k or below...now 40k that some are now.

2. Uniform looking avatars.

3. Better looking avatars as I will re-size them with the right proportions, not just ax them into the forum regardless how it looks as it currently is.

I agree fully with you Nick. Therefor I demand this avatar to be mine!

This avatar is mine, cuz he looks semi-asian, which fits my character.

Nick, feel free to alter the one I have or I can change to a stock one doesn't matter. Let me know one way or the other.

IF you could alter this one I would like to keep it

I'd also like to keep mine, if that's kewl.

ill probably make my own again if thats alright with you nick.

BTW Nick love your new avatar. 

I like my new avatar and his awesome moustache.  Seriously that moustache is fantastico!

Love the dark warrior look hehehe

PM Nick.

What do you want, bearing in mind you can only have USCM type avatars?

I'd like to keep my avatar. Good old Crowe, staring down at that burning ammo bag....

Um, yes. Definetly wouldn't Warhammer running around with Aliens lol. But this avatar is of a Colonial Marine smoking a cigarette, and well, i'd like to use it. It represents my character very well seeing as how he chain smokes, lol. But if you could make it all nice and purty i'd love to keep it, even if it is different a little bit. Plus I didn't want to take Apachetear's avatar for Honeysett because well...He's badass and I couldn't imitate him in any way....Thanks fellas!

Hey Ranger, I'll make a better version of that avatar so it's a little bigger for you, instead of just one side.
