How come Neil is allowed a bigger avatar than anyone else?

Richard · 29-09-2004, 05:29 PM

Just been looking at the post-counts, and something occurred to me that I've never noticed before.
Neil's avatar is a bit wider than myself, Liam, Rik, Eddie, Reuben and some others!
Why?
Is it simply a Privelage of some sort, or has Neil been meddling with the rules?

I know for certain that my avatar is of the maximum diameter (and it wouldn't be too difficult to work-out anyway, given that everyone who I've listed is exactly the same size, either width or length).
So how does he do it?

Disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, you're the first person who's noticed that.

Simply put, the avatar size restrictions were introduced in early/mid-2003, and my avatar dates from the Rawlinson Senior House Play of November 2002. It's not changed since then, and if I did change it, the size limit would apply.

That's pretty egotistical.

In what way? Nothing stopped the other early members from keeping their originals.

i actually noticed it the other day, hes not the only one cause i had a look through the members list and theres some people who havent used the forum in ages whos avatars are over 100 pixles long or wide....

Who really cares?

If worrying about the size of an avatar is your biggest problem in life you have it easy.

The say some men like to have things bigger than everyone else to compensate for other stuff

I'm not overtly bothered, it was just something I spotted and I decided I'd ask.
It's not the biggest problem in my life, believe me.
