What benefit does this bring to the server or forum? Im wondering because I would much rather keep my current avatar, which practically is my skin but was made by a friend of mine from V3.I did explain this in the original post:
...
This change should be a good improvement for the site, it should make reading posts and seeing who has made a certain post much clearer for everyone.
...
after you have your face avatar can you change your skin to change the avater? or just the avatar? also will helmets show?It will automatically update (on a once daily basis) once you edit your actual Minecraft skin (on minecraft.net). Helmets/hats won't be shown; faces only.
I already got my face as my avatar, will it still change or ?It WILL be deleted according to the post, but you will most likely not see a difference on September 2nd. It may also be a different size, thats all.
- 1st Sept - All current avatars will be deleted.
- 2nd Sept - All users will receive their user (skin) avatar.
I saw what you wrote but it lacks logic in many ways. So by the new system it will be easier to identify who says it, as if the name of the person wasn't enough, because their skin is their avatar. I'm lucky if I know what my friends skins are let a lone all the other people. And frankly I don't care what they are and don't see the need to identify them by it.The new system will therefore allow you to learn people's skins according to who they are? You will be able to identify that image with their Minecraft user; thus giving more of a connection between the site and the server. You will see once the change has occurred that you begin to associate that image of their Minecraft face with that user; rather than having to read the user's name.
I was planning on putting up a new pic as well, a pic of all my guitars :(. It was going to say at the bottom, "my babies" lol. Oh well :(You can still put any pictures/messages you may want users to see in a topic or in your signature.
I wouldn't want to have my name connected with my Minecraft skin... I don't have an avatar because an avatar is something personal, and should expres something about the person in question. My Minecraft skin is in no way connected to me as a person, and will only confuse people and give them a wrong impression about me. I'm firmly against this change.
So I guess I'll just make my avatar's head completely black then, and start getting a proper "avatar" for in my signature. I just really don't want a Minecraft skin, which changes frequently depending on my mood or just a nice movie or book that I've recently seen/read, connected to a profile of me on this site.
A unique piece of art, reflecting someone's personality and emphasizing their individuality is a lot better to identify a user than a random avatar of a skin that's a meager 8x8 pixels. Especially since a lot of people have the same skins, or very alike skins, you'll only cause more confusion on the forums by connecting forum accounts and minecraft skins.
So I still stick with my opinion, I'm strongly opposed to this change, please just let people keep their own avatar.

hey atleast you dont look as creepy xDHahah, true ;)
Thank god. I've always wanted to know everyone's skin so I can more easily identify who wrote what! Thank you!I smell sarcasm :P
Look at everyone's wee Minecraft face's! lolI sneezed okay?! :/
And Licksterboy got a shave! lol!
Do 3D features not show up? Because my skin is more than just a blue face.....Nope :(
Just make your face black and put a pic on it = fixed XDNo because that means I'm changing my skin to something that doesn't represent me or things I'm in to :S It's a little silly that we need to change our skins if we want a nicer profile picture, but whatever :/
