Takara, it's perfectly possible to change the limits. A certain admin did for a joke not too long ago >:{

Mullet, if avatars are accessories, then signatures are moreso. We should make them 550x60 so they aren't taking up more vertical height than the posts of most users.

100x100 isn't that bulky. It's about 20 pixels narrower than your custom title, heath, and about 30 narrower than your location field.

Yes small avatars are bad, and no it's not just how to size them. When everyone used 800x600 resolutions, avatars were .75% of the screen area. With my resolution (smaller than several eoffers), a 60x60 avatar is .27% of the screen area. Changing them to 100x100 would put them at .77% of the screen size on a 1440x900 screen, which will only stand to go down over time.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that when eoff was created I was still using 640x400, making 60x60 avatars 1.4% of the screen area. (Not that I visisted eoff then, but if I had and if we'd had 60x60 avatars!)

I hope you all come to your senses.
