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.
...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?
I already got my face as my avatar, will it still change or ?
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.
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
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.
