Why not? Heh.

Having recently done work with images and databases, it's not that hard. You only store each avatar once, and then you have a field for each post that links to the avatar used to make that post.
The only difficulty is when avatars are hosted off-site. In that case you make it an option for users to disable this feature.

Clear now?Tank Program wrote:Rightnow it's set up so you can upload an avatar, and will always be that way. The question is, should I get some "built-in" avatars?
BTW, I liked how I could host my own CGI avatar, even though it wasted my CPU time with nearly 1.3 million square roots per request.
