Just look at Dragon's Avatar. Is that not big enough?

Shrinking pictures is a problem, especially if there is text in them (see my "Should I Keep This Avatar?" thread).
Anyway, I see all of you want to keep the limit as it is. Luddites.

Yes and I'm tired of looking at that ugly Japaname anyway. Bring back the Space Ghost dudes or the period.

The size limit is unlikely to change. If you want a bigger avatar, you could choose one from the avatars list. 
btw, I will try to add the PTW units to the avatar list tonight.

Those PTW units have been added to the list!
They are on page 16 and 17 of the avatar list:

Never!
Spike will be my avatar! Anyway, I'm hoping to find one of him where he isn't crying, the one not at the ending. I'm going to look now. CG

The mods haven't noticed because he found the threads the mods ignore: creationism and doughnuts, plus now overplaying his hand in the alliteration game...
and he isn't flaming like sayounara, just mildly spamming in an age when spam is hard to police.
Lots of one word, one line, one smiley posts. It happens. I have nothing against the guy, I just don't think he is contributing anything more than "me too" posts anywhere...

I have a feeling that the new PTW avatars are to large. This ones even bigger than my old one. Is it unbearable?
EDIT: I think the guerilla IS to large. Im changing to something smaller now
ANOTHER EDIT: Cant find any smaller alternatives. Oh well.

We should keep the avatar limit the same for the same reason that we keep the sig size to five lines: so people concentrate on the content of the post. I'm looking at Sliverflame's avatar and have to say it's really distracting...
The image was originally 800x600. I think I did a good job shrinking.
I recall why Thunderfall held off on custom avatars, even with a capable server. He wanted the forums to have a Civilization feel, and was right that the big or little images beside every post are the greatest factor in that. I feel we should make an effort to keep the forums looking Civish, lest we all turn into Muppets.
I'd be happy with expanded avatars on the condition that they stick to the Civ series theme.

Ok, hbdragon, Thunderfall scaled down the PTW avatars. It sure seems like it.
Now it isnt distracting at all

Ah. That's a lot better. Now it's just another avatar.

Well, crud, if it is going to be normal size, who needs it?!
