Fossman, I'm undecided on whether Avatars should be a paid member priviledge or not. In theory they don't 'cost' much anymore in terms of bandwidth (though 10x100k avatars can make a page big to download, so I'm going to have to think about it for a bit) but it'd be good for the paid members to have some demarkation with the non-paid members, IYSWIM.
Tommy, I'm pushing for it, yes. Committee agrees, but it's all down the technical side of implementation. Fingers crossed.
