I'm not trying to come across like a nagging father who's continually telling ya to brush your teeth on a night LMAO

But to the newer guys and a few of the long standing members on here, it really helps when you add an Avatar to your Member Profile

The reason is because for members who have a number of contacts in their Friends section, its very useful to be able to instantly see who is online and who isn't and who is available to talk to etc. Even as I write this currently, I have 5 friends online whom I do not know who they are unless I continually go down to the corner and hover over their blank avatar with the curser to reveal their names. With an Avatar once you have seen it a few times in the forums that member becomes instantly recognisable as they appear on the site. Believe me guys it makes it sooo much easier to see who is available.

It also adds a bit of extra character to the member if you choose a picture that is related/associated to you in some way, so when you speak to that person they become more familiar than just a blank icon.

I realise some guys like it as it makes you more stealthy when coming and going but if the Mods really want your Ass then they will get you anyway!! LMAO
