Looks like I'm paying for a custom avatar after this next one goes up.

Or does that not count as my last one?

It's alot better this way. From now on people get use to each other's Avi.

Kinda sad but I can accept why you changed it.

Please note that beginning immediately, UNL MEMBERS and AUTHORS will only be granted ONE complimentary custom avatar. Those wishing to change their avatar beyond this will need to purchase our CUSTOMIZATION package (Link) or win a contest where a custom avatar is a prize.

We apologize that we are no longer able to allow an infinite number of custom avatar changes. We have been getting literally HUNDREDS of avatar submissions every single week, most of which have to be resized, cropped, adjusted and enhanced just to fit the avatar template. It's just taking too much of our time away from things like content updates, additional site programming, etc.

Those that have previously submitted an avatar will have theirs completed soon.

i guess that's fair. considering ur workload its understandable. once u have created ur custom avatar..how soon can we change that without buying the customization package?

Missing the old days, so the 3 months thing is just a part of Ch's history .

I like my current one anyway, and changing it was not any of my near plans. Thanks for the notice Pwiz.

I do not like this, however I do understand where you are coming from.
Me, myself, personally, I found the free custom avatars as another reason for one to submit an author registration. Now that it is gone, no doubt people won't submit as much anymore. It's just another reason to not visit this site so much when I get the chance to.

If CHU had an offical graphics team that worked on making the avatars with PWiz and Nev, maybe this wouldn't be necessary. As it stands however, I'd much rather pay the money than wait weeks for my stuff to be ready to use. I'm not seriously suggesting a graphics team though, I think things will be fine once people get used to the new setup.
